<p>Possible problems: the person bumping min qt version to > 5.5 will not remember about this. And the same for the next person "fixing" this non-const calls.</p>
<p>So while ifdef adds some another code variant which makes test coverage worse, it still help cleaning up the code on version bumps and prevents compat-breaking "fixing". So I would opt for ifdef.</p></div>

<p>First issue can be solved by adding a task to a job list for the certain milestone where Qt5.5 support should be dropped, not sure if such list even exists but still. Second is more simple: just comment the code that needs special attention. Not a rock-solid solution but still a possibility of having cleaner code yet being able to manage this stuff at some point in the future.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D8202" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D8202</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>flherne, KDevelop, mwolff<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>blaze, kfunk, mwolff, kossebau, kdevelop-devel<br /></div>
