Both. A breath first search makes sense there as well. I don't think
the
order of the children is specified there so one should not rely on it
anyway.
It isn't specified, so we can change.
But I'd expect that the flattening of the tree produces depth-first.
Breadth-
first could result in a violation of the principle of least surprise.
Why? That is not my expectation at all. If you ask somebody if he has a
child named Maria, is he most likely to first name his second daughter
or the granddaughter by his first child you think?
I'd like to add a new alternative (though it does not exclude a
change
now either):
- Deprecate the behaviour and remove in Qt 6.
What behaviour would you want to be removed? The whole
connectSlotsByName()?
Yes, the whole feature. IMnsHO it is indeed a misfeature as Eike called
it. There are a few more in Qt, but this certainly is one.
