Hi Alex,

Welcome to the list! The “interest" list is primarily useful to discuss 
developing *with* Qt.

The development *of* Qt, which patching of QJSEngine would qualify as, is best 
discussed at

https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development



Cheers,
Volker

Is this the place to ask questions about the internals of Qt modules?


I'd actually recommend you to ask this question on the development@ 
mailing list. That's what most developers of Qt lurk. (interest@ is 
people who develop WITH Qt.)

[Interest] Question about QtDeclarative Internals

2021-04-21 Thread Alex Shaw 
Hello,

I am relatively new to mailing lists, so if I am doing something wrong here
please forgive me.

Is this the place to ask questions about the internals of Qt modules?

More specifically:
In QtDeclarative, can a QV4::ReturnedValue or a QV4::Value be converted
into an ExecutableCompilationUnit?

I'm trying to work on a patch for QJSEngine to allow modules to be
registered in C++ (similar to Node.js: import fs from "fs")
The planned method is something along the lines of:
void QJSEngine::registerModule(const QString , const QJSValue
)

I can see that behind the scenes, loadModule compiles a URL to an
ExecutableCompilationUnit, then saves it to a list of modules for future
lookup.
I thought the easiest way to do what I need is to convert a QJSValue to an
internal QV4::Value, and from there into an ExecutableCompilationUnit.
Is there any way of doing that?

Thanks.
