<QtGlobal> - Global Qt Declarations
The <QtGlobal> header file includes an assortment of other headers. More...
| Header: | #include <QtGlobal> |
Detailed Description
Up to Qt 6.5, most Qt header files included <QtGlobal>. Before Qt 6.5, <QtGlobal> defined an assortment of global declarations. Most of these have moved, at Qt 6.5, to separate headers, so that source code can include only what it needs, rather than the whole assortment. For now, <QtGlobal> includes those other headers (see next section), but future releases of Qt may remove some of these headers from <QtGlobal> or condition their inclusion on a version check. Likewise, in future releases, some Qt headers that currently include <QtGlobal> may stop doing so. The hope is that this will improve compilation times by avoiding global declarations when they are not used.
