QT4往QT5转换

  官方参考：http://qt-project.org/wiki/Transition_from_Qt_4.x_to_Qt5

1.参考：http://blog.chinaunix.net/uid-693168-id-3462995.html

在pro文件中添加webkit模块时

Qt4：  Qt+= webkit

Qt5:   Qt+= webkit webkitwidgets

代码中需要用到 QtConcurrent::run时

Qt4:   #include< QtConcurrentrun>

Qt5:    #include <QtConcurrent/QtConcurrent>

在pro文件中添加 C++11支持时

Qt4：  QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=gnu++0x

Qt5:     CONFIG += c++11

Transition from Qt 4.x to Qt 5(头文件与.pro配置文件上的差别)

The transition from Qt 4.x to Qt 5 is not expected to be significant. However, the “modularization” of the Qt code base requires some amount of changes to project configuration, such as use of “headers”, and configuration of project build settings (such as changes to the *.pro files).

Qt Creator (master) is compiled using Qt 4 and Qt 5; you can refer to its sources to get an overview of what is required to port an application and keep the sources backwards compatible to Qt 4.

一，QtWidgets as a Separate Module

example compile time errors

1. error : QMainWindow : No such file or directory
2. error : QToolButton : No such file or directory
3. error : QWidget : No such file or directory

Solution

Add this in your *.pro file:

1. QT += widgets

Change all instances of

1. #include <QtGui>

to

1. #include <QtWidgets>

The code should work now, though sometimes you may require to be more explicit:

1. #include <QtWidgets/QToolButton>

QtWebKitWidgets is also a separate module:

example compile time errors

1. error : invalid use of incomplete type 'class QWebFrame'
2. error : forward declaration of 'class QWebFrame'

Solution

Add this in your *.pro file:

1. QT += webkitwidgets

Note: when you have QT += webkitwidgets you don’t need QT += widgets

In addition, replace all instances of

1. #include <QtWebKit>

to

1. #include <QtWebKitWidgets>

You can try this by porting a WYSISWYG html editor [qt.gitorious.org] from Qt 4 to Qt 5.

QPrinter Doesn’t Work

If your code has the following lines:

1. #include <QPrinter>
2. #include <QPrintDialog>

add the following to your project file:

1. QT += printsupport

Again, sometimes it may not work and you would need to be explicit:

1. #include <QtPrintSupport/QPrinter>
2. #include <QtPrintSupport/QPrintDialog>

toAscii() and fromAscii() Methods are deprecated

Replace all instances of

1. fromAscii ( )
2. toAscii ( )

to

1. fromLatin1 ( )
2. toLatin1 ( )

For example, given the Qt 4 code

1. QByteArray configfileti = TMP_Config. toAscii ( ) ;

you would change to

1. QByteArray configfileti = TMP_Config. toLatin1 ( ) ;

QCoreApplication::UnicodeUTF8 is deprecated

This enum type used to define the 8-bit encoding of character string arguments to translate(). This enum is now obsolete andUTF-8 will be used in all cases. So remove all instances of QCoreApplication::UnicodeUTF8. For example:

1. Href_Gui -> setWindowTitle ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Url / www" , 0 , QApplication :: UnicodeUTF8 ) ) ;
2. label -> setText ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Text:" , 0 , QApplication :: UnicodeUTF8 ) ) ;
3. label_2 -> setText ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Url:" , 0 , QApplication :: UnicodeUTF8 ) ) ;
4. label_3 -> setText ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Target / Name:" , 0 , QApplication :: UnicodeUTF8 ) ) ;

to

1. Href_Gui -> setWindowTitle ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Url / www" , 0 ) ) ;
2. label -> setText ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Text:" , 0 ) ) ;
3. label_2 -> setText ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Url:" , 0 ) ) ;
4. label_3 -> setText ( QApplication :: translate ( "Href_Gui" , "Target / Name:" , 0 ) ) ;

QWorkspace is deprecated

This class is obsolete and was replaced by the QMdiArea class in Qt 4.3. In Qt 5 QWorkspace has been removed. The new class has a similarAPI to QWorkspace and porting it only involved changing the names of a few methods, signals, and slots.

replace

1. #include <QWorkspace>

with

1. #include <QMdiArea>

QDrag Problems

Apps that has drop and drag functionality will need some tweaking. A line such as

1. QDrag *drag = new QDrag (event -> widget ( ) ) ;

in Qt 5 will generate the error

1. error : no matching function for call to 'QDrag::QDrag(QWidget*)'

To fix this add among the includes:

1. #include <QWidget>

qFindChildren is deprecated

An error will pop of this fashion:

1. error : 'qFindChildren' was not declared in this scope

To solve this you replace qFindChildren with findChildren, for example in

1. toString ( const QObject * obj , int indentLevel ) const {
2. [... ]
3.     /* Query over QObjects */
4.     if (m_children ) {
5.         QList < QObject *> childlist = qFindChildren < QObject *> (obj , QString ( ) ) ;
6. [... ]

replace

1. QList < QObject *> childlist = qFindChildren < QObject *> (obj , QString ( ) ) ;

with

1. QList < QObject *> childlist = obj -> findChildren < QObject *> ( QString ( ) ) ;

source[bugs.webkit.org]

qVariantValue is deprecated

Your compiler will say

1. error : 'qVariantValue' was not declared in this scope

This function is equivalent to QVariant::value<T>(value). Therefore if given a QVariant val rewrite the line

1. QTime t = qVariantValue < QTime > (val ) ;

to

1. QTime t = val. value < QTime > ( ) ;

This QTime enclosed in the angled brackets lets the compiler know what QVariant will return. However, if the variable is not a QVariable the type enclosed in the angled brackets should not be used(doing so will result in a vague compile time error). So given that m_color is of type QColor you will rewrite

1. s. setValue ( "color/favorite" , qVariantValue < QColor > (m_color ) ) ;

to

1. s. setValue ( "color/favorite" , m_color. value ( ) ) ;

source[stackoverflow.com]

qVariantCanConvert is deprecated

replace

1. Q_ASSERT (qVariantCanConvert < QString > (variant ) ) ;
2. Q_ASSERT (qVariantCanConvert < QSize > (variant ) ) ;
3. Q_ASSERT (qVariantCanConvert < QFont > (fontVariant ) ) ;

with

1. Q_ASSERT (variant. canConvert ( QMetaType :: QString ) ) ;
2. Q_ASSERT (variant. canConvert ( QMetaType :: QSize ) ) ;
3. Q_ASSERT (fontVariant. canConvert ( QMetaType :: QFont ) ) ;

Qt::escape is deprecated

1. error : 'escape' is not a member of 'Qt'

So you would change the following block:

1.     if (result == QString ( ) )
2.         result = Qt :: escape (val. toString ( ) ) ;
3.     else
4.         result = Qt :: escape (result ) ;
5.     return result ;

to

1.     if (result == QString ( ) )
2.         result = QString (val. toString ( ) ). toHtmlEscaped ( ) ;
3.     else
4.         result = QString (result ). toHtmlEscaped ( ) ;
5.     return result ;

this procedure can be automated by a porting tool [kdab.com] from KDAB.

QDesktopServices::storageLocation deprecated

1. error : 'storageLocation' is not a member of 'QDesktopServices'
2. error : 'DataLocation' is not a member of 'QDesktopServices'

Use QStandardPaths::StandardLocation:

1. QString path = s. value ( "db.path" , QDesktopServices :: storageLocation ( QDesktopServices :: DataLocation ) ). toString ( ) ;

to

1. QString path = s. value ( "db.path" , QStandardPaths :: standardLocations (QStandardPaths :: DataLocation ) ). toString ( ) ;

source[qt-project.org]

CONFIG+=qtestlib is deprecated

If you have the above line in your project file the compiler will warn you in the compile window, nonetheless the code will still run as usual:

1. Project WARNING : CONFIG +=qtestlib is deprecated. Use QT +=testlib instead.

QWeakPointer quirks

A code block like

1. quint64 decodedPointer = line. toULongLong ( ) ;
2. MetaData * md = reinterpret_cast <MetaData *> (decodedPointer ) ;
3. QWeakPointer <MetaData > wp (md ) ;

results in

1. error : no matching function for call to 'QWeakPointer<MetaData>::QWeakPointer(MetaData*&)'

To fix this add to the project file:

1. DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE = 0

source[qt-project.org]

QtConcurrent Library is Missing?

1. C :\ Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\mingw47_32\include\QtConcurrent\qtconcurrentthreadengine. h : 133 : error : undefined reference to `_imp___ZN12QtConcurrent16ThreadEngineBaseD2Ev '

In Qt 4, QtConcurrent was part of QtCore, so there was no need to include specific headers. This is no longer the case with Qt 5. If your source code have lines like

1. m_current = QtConcurrent :: blockingMappedReduced (slices , functor , stitchReduce , QtConcurrent :: UnorderedReduce ) ;

You will need to include the header:

1. #include <QtConcurrent/QtConcurrent>

and add the following line to your project file:

1. QT += concurrent

Fixing #include<> Headers

A Perl script “fixqt4headers.pl” exists in qtbase/bin/. that should be run on source code using Qt that corrects the #include<> directives for Qt components to also consider the module name.

Plugin loading

The Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN,Q_EXPORT_PLUGIN2 macros have been deprecated in favor of the new Q_PLUGIN_METADATA macro. The advantage of the new system is that it allows Qt to query the metadata for the plugin without actually dlopen’ing it. This greatly improves performance and reliability of the plugin system.

The new Q_PLUGIN_METADATA macro is included next to the Q_OBJECT macro in the QObject derived class that is returned when loading the plugin. It contains the pluginsIID and a filename pointing to a json file containing the metadata for the plugin. The json file is compiled into the plugin and does not need to be installed.

An example on how to change your plugins can be found by looking at the patch that changes the Gif image format plugin, seehttp://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/commit/963b4c1647299fd023ddbe7c4a25ac404e303c5d .

Deploying to systems without C++11

When Qt is built from source code on a system with C++11 installed, the Qt libraries/frameworks are linked against the system’s C++11 library (libc++). This means that the Qt libraries/frameworks are not deployable to systems without C++11 installed (such as out-of-the-box Mac OS X 10.6). To be able to deploy to systems that only support the older C++ standard (libstdc++), build Qt from source code with the -no-c++11 configure option.

QTimer is no longer accurate to the millisecond by default

QTimer has now 3 accuracy types, with a new default behaviour:

• The new default type is Qt::CoarseTimer which, to reduce power/CPU consumption, allow5% difference between requested time and actual one, and even allow the timer to fire before the requested time.
• The former one is Qt::PreciseTimer (to the millisecond, never before the requested time).
• A third one is Qt::VeryCoarseTimer and allow a 1 second difference

QUrl addQueryItem moved to QUrlQuery

If you have:

1. QUrl url ;
2. // ...
3. url. addQueryItem (key , value ) ;

You will want to change it to

1. QUrl url ;
2. QUrlQuery urlQuery ;
3. // ...
4. urlQuery. addQueryItem (key , value ) ;
5.  
6. url. setUrlQuery (urlQuery ) ;

QAbstractItemModel changes

1. void reset ( )
2. void setRoleNames ( const QHash < int , QByteArray > & roleNames )

both have changed and are now protected.
