I forgot the reason. The reason is that it's different between the qt4 connect and the qt5 connect.
With qt4 connects, a->connect(b, SIGNAL(sig(), SLOT(slot())) is equivalent to connect(b, SIGNAL(sig()), a, SLOT(slot())); because there is a member method connect for that. Thus the connection is removed if "a" is deleted whereas: a->connect(b, &B::sig, &A::slot), calls the *static* connect method, that takes no context object, so the connection is not removed if "a" is deleted. For that reason I'd like to discourage using the member functions at all. daniel _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
