Indeed, one of the things we discussed was to freeze QVariant as an API, with its defects as they are, and introduce a new QAny class to have the behaviour we do want in the future. But we felt this would cause more confusion. It's difficult to make a decision without hard data. I think we need to attempt and try to run some representative sample of Qt-based code, to see what breaks. If too much does, we may need to back out and try the alternative (where "too much" will also need to be decided). -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel System Software Products _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
