The attached example compiled against 5.3 no longer runs in 5.4 producing:
--------------------------- qtbug41810.exe - Entry Point Not Found --------------------------- The procedure entry point ?convert@QVariant@@QEBA_NHPEAX@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library d:\dev\projects\qtbug41810_53\debug\qtbug41810.exe.
Relevant commits: "Update MSVC compiler features according to testing" 7ab6f24ac1f0b5877356f4781827bc8f65bbcdcf (qtbase/dev, 21.6.2014) https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/88026/3
enabled template friends for MSVC and thus changed the visibility of qvariant funcs due to:
#ifndef Q_NO_TEMPLATE_FRIENDS
    template<typename T>
    friend inline T qvariant_cast(const QVariant &);
    template<typename T> friend struct QtPrivate::QVariantValueHelper;
protected:
#else
public:
#endif
    Private d;
    void create(int type, const void *copy);
    bool cmp(const QVariant &other) const;
    int compare(const QVariant &other) const;
    bool convert(const int t, void *ptr) const;
