    Description

      The documentation for qOverload says "qOverload() requires C++14 enabled", but does not clarify that qOverload is a non-portable feature available only in certain C++14 compilers, since it is only enabled by a non-standard C++ experimental __cpp_variable_templates feature in qglobal.h.

      An alternative would be to make qOverload portable across C++14 compilers, as requested in Bug #54808, versus documenting its non-cross-platform nature
