<p>Yes, exactly. Adding a line <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">ec->increaseVolume();</tt> at that place gives the same compiler error:</p>

<p>Apparently Qt's connect stuff "circumvents" the constness. It's not as if the function is actually being called here.</p>
<p>I can't say why <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">ec</tt> was declared const, but it was already the case in the KDE4 version (and it was no problem because it is only used to connect things to, with the old-style connect this particular issue with default arguments didn't exist either).</p>
<p>Shall I just remove the const from ec then and connect to a lambda instead?</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R181 Amarok</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D24413">https://phabricator.kde.org/D24413</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>wbauer, Amarok, schweingruber<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>heikobecker, schweingruber, ognarb, amarok-devel, Amarok<br /></div>
