Warns when using Qt emit
keyword.
This check is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled.
Note that C++20 has a method named emit()
, therefore it's advisable to switch to using the Q_EMIT
macro to prevent name conflicts (perferably before starting to use Qt code with C++20). See https://cplusplus.github.io/LWG/issue3399 if you're interested in the details.
This check is mainly useful due to its fixit to automatically convert the emit
keyword to its Q_
variant. Once you've converted all usages, then simply guard against emit
being reintroduced in your codebase with ADD_DEFINITIONS(-DQT_NO_EMIT)
(CMake) or CONFIG += no_keywords
(qmake).
This check is a "subset" of the qt-keywords check, which warns about emit
and other Qt keywords.
