QSplashScreen documentation showcases bad practices

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qsplashscreen.html shows and describes how to use QSplashScreen without a running event loop.

      However, according to thiago and kleint, an event loop should always be running (see the comments at QTBUG-119225 ).

      The documentation should encourage users to follow best practices instead of showcasing hacks.
