Hi,
I'm personally fine with delaying this by one release. What do others think? That said, I think it can be written without #ifdef perhaps by using QVariant::isNull() ? (QVariant(nullptr) maps to isNull() as well, right? ;-) Simon ________________________________ From: Development <[email protected]> on behalf of Thiago Macieira <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2016 5:04:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Development] Behaviour change in QML in Qt 5.8 regarding null On terça-feira, 27 de setembro de 2016 11:25:49 PDT Simon Hausmann wrote: > That is exactly the part I'm referring to.

Maybe you originally only had double and now you have double and int. That would be an acceptable behaviour change. Changing from void* to nullptr is unexpected, but it does fall into the same bucket. The problem is that you can't write code to adapt to it without #ifdef, so there's no way to write forward compatibility. Can we compromise and you delay this change for one release? -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
