- The deferred method scheduler is now automatically created
when required and when there is a QApplication
- QApplication and related have argv constructors
Reason: klayout_QtCore needs to be linked with QtGui so it's
GSI declarations become available. The reason is only
QSignalMapper which is in QtCore and has a QWidget argument.
1.) Startup issue:
This is solved by making sure templates with virtual functions
are made visible in the DSO. This way, dynamic_cast is possible
across DSO's.
Scary: clang/MacOS wants the forward declarations be declared visible as well.
2.) Menu issue:
The best solution is to have only one QMenuBar. The navigator
now gets a synthetic menu bar composed of QToolButtons.
The problem is caused by an implementation detail:
To monitor the lifetime of Qt objects, a monitoring
object is attached to them. This used to happen through
child objects but attaching such issues QChildEvents
which - if routed over script objects - will itself
required objects to be attached a monitoring object.
The solution is to attach monitoring objects through
QObject dynamic properties.
- Qt5 binding was not properly including bindings for special types
- Macro editor: forward button wasn't autoRaise like the others
- DRC engine: gave deprecation warnings for Ruby 2.4 because Fixnum
became deprecated. Now the implementation is more generic.
- Fixed some #includes for Qt5
* The solution consists of attaching a bridge object
to QObjects. If the host object is destroyed, the
bridge object will notify the script client
* The bridge object attachment is optimized so it
only happens if required (but still too often ...)
* The child object of QChildEvent gets a special
handling since this object is almost dead in case
of remove. This special handling consists of
a special, stripped class which is used to
only represent QObject in that particular case.
