I know almost as little about casts as I do operators. My gut tells me that even though the compiler is spewing a bunch of qint32 qint64 nonsense, we probably don't really need to do that. There are billions of cases where compiler warnings spew about QWhatever when a regular Whatever from the normal world will do just fine. Having said that, I still have no idea what we're talking about overall, and I'm just running my mouth to look stupid in public. On the bright side, I just got one more file to compile the hard way. Bit by bit. I sure wish there were more files you could actually get through without dealing with massive codebase-wide issues though. Digressing from the stated topic, the things I notice are: 1) DCOP. I'm waiting on Chris for that. 2) K.*Widget and K.*Window. No idea what to do about 40 billion errors here. 3) QT layout things like HBox and VBox and TBox and QBox and ZBox and whatever. I sucked, absolutely, massively sucked at layouts in QT3, and if I try to fix any of this, it's almost certain I will totally fsck everything up. Except for my little presets dialog, I don't think I've EVER done anything layout related where somebody else didn't have to wipe my nose, and I might have even required nose wiping on that. I'm such a complete moron when it comes to layouts. A complete and total moron. So all of those added together mean the majority of the stuff I've looked at randomly is over my head, and I have no clue where to start. I'll just keep taking blind potshots. It's getting us progress in baby steps at least. -- D.
