This page describes some workarounds for keeping binary compatibility in patch releases. You should read the KDE reference: Binary Compatibility Issues with C++.
Specifically, the d-pointer technique is explained in much detail in D-Pointer: What Private Implementation is and how it works.
Declaring a slot for private classes (d-pointer)
Use a Q_PRIVATE_SLOT:
class A: public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
…
private:
Q_PRIVATE_SLOT(d_func(), void myPrivateSlot())
};
/* in .cpp file */
void APrivate::myPrivateSlot() {…}
#include "moc_a.cpp"
Pitfalls to avoid:
- Don't include `a.moc`, but `moc_a.cpp` in your .cpp file
- Q_PRIVATE_SLOT takes the complete signature of the private slot, not just its name
