access the change signal of properties. So maintaining the signals<br />
and properties to use in separate global user-accessable tables might<br />
have been done as there was no other option.</p>
<p>But this has flaws:</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">prevents per-widget-instance settings</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">different libs & plugins might do conflicting settings</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">requires explicit setup</li>
</ul>
<p>With modern Qt metaobject API instead the change signal can be<br />
fetched and used automatically.</p>
<p>For backward-compatibility in KF5 this will be only a new option,<br />
those global maps should be removed on next ABI breakage.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>TEST PLAN</strong><div><p>Old and new tests do not fail.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R265 KConfigWidgets</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>BRANCH</strong><div><div>readChangeSignalFromMetaObject</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D4130" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D4130</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>AFFECTED FILES</strong><div><div>autotests/kconfigdialog_unittest.cpp<br />
