As a developer of Qt, I'd like to have tools to comprehensively mark Q_PROPERTYs as deprecated

XMLWordPrintable

    • Q_PROPERTY-deprecated
    • Foundation PM Staging

      When we deprecate a property, we can

      • QT_DEPRECATED_SINCE the setter and getter (and bindable, if any) to get warnings at compile-time when using them
      • QT_MOC_COMPAT the NOTIFY signal (and the setter-as-a-slot?) to get a warning at run-time if an old-style connect is done involving the signal (and slot?)
        • though this lacks version information

      and that already goes a long way.

      But we have no way to mark the property itself as deprecated to issue a runtime warning when the property is accesses through QObject::setProperty()/QObject::property().

      Acceptance criteria:

      • provide the necessary tools to comprehensively deprecate Q_PROPERTYs
        • decide whether version information is essential and if so, add support
      • document how to use these tools in https://wiki.qt.io/Deprecation and/or as a QUIP
