    \class QObject
    \inmodule QtCore
    \brief The QObject class is the base class of all Qt objects.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    \reentrant

    QObject is the heart of the Qt \l{Object Model}. The central
    feature in this model is a very powerful mechanism for seamless
    object communication called \l{signals and slots}. You can
    connect a signal to a slot with connect() and destroy the
    connection with disconnect(). To avoid never ending notification
    loops you can temporarily block signals with blockSignals(). The
    protected functions connectNotify() and disconnectNotify() make
    it possible to track connections.

    QObjects organize themselves in \l {Object Trees & Ownership}
    {object trees}. When you create a QObject with another object as
    parent, the object will automatically add itself to the parent's
    children() list. The parent takes ownership of the object; i.e.,
    it will automatically delete its children in its destructor. You
    can look for an object by name and optionally type using
    findChild() or findChildren().

    Every object has an objectName() and its class name can be found
    via the corresponding metaObject() (see QMetaObject::className()).
    You can determine whether the object's class inherits another
    class in the QObject inheritance hierarchy by using the
    inherits() function.

    When an object is deleted, it emits a destroyed() signal. You can
    catch this signal to avoid dangling references to QObjects.

    QObjects can receive events through event() and filter the events
    of other objects. See installEventFilter() and eventFilter() for
    details. A convenience handler, childEvent(), can be reimplemented
    to catch child events.

    Last but not least, QObject provides the basic timer support in
    Qt; see QTimer for high-level support for timers.

    Notice that the Q_OBJECT macro is mandatory for any object that
    implements signals, slots or properties. You also need to run the
    \l{moc}{Meta Object Compiler} on the source file. We strongly
    recommend the use of this macro in all subclasses of QObject
    regardless of whether or not they actually use signals, slots and
    properties, since failure to do so may lead certain functions to
    exhibit strange behavior.

    All Qt widgets inherit QObject. The convenience function
    isWidgetType() returns whether an object is actually a widget. It
    is much faster than
    \l{qobject_cast()}{qobject_cast}<QWidget *>(\e{obj}) or
    \e{obj}->\l{inherits()}{inherits}("QWidget").

    Some QObject functions, e.g. children(), return a QObjectList.
    QObjectList is a typedef for QList<QObject *>.

    \section1 Thread Affinity

    A QObject instance is said to have a \e{thread affinity}, or that
    it \e{lives} in a certain thread. When a QObject receives a
    \l{Qt::QueuedConnection}{queued signal} or a \l{The Event
    System#Sending Events}{posted event}, the slot or event handler
    will run in the thread that the object lives in.

    \note If a QObject has no thread affinity (that is, if thread()
    returns zero), or if it lives in a thread that has no running event
    loop, then it cannot receive queued signals or posted events.

    By default, a QObject lives in the thread in which it is created.
    An object's thread affinity can be queried using thread() and
    changed using moveToThread().

    All QObjects must live in the same thread as their parent. Consequently:

    \list
    \li setParent() will fail if the two QObjects involved live in
        different threads.
    \li When a QObject is moved to another thread, all its children
        will be automatically moved too.
    \li moveToThread() will fail if the QObject has a parent.
    \li If QObjects are created within QThread::run(), they cannot
        become children of the QThread object because the QThread does
        not live in the thread that calls QThread::run().
    \endlist

    \note A QObject's member variables \e{do not} automatically become
    its children. The parent-child relationship must be set by either
    passing a pointer to the child's \l{QObject()}{constructor}, or by
    calling setParent(). Without this step, the object's member variables
    will remain in the old thread when moveToThread() is called.

    \target No copy constructor
    \section1 No Copy Constructor or Assignment Operator

    QObject has neither a copy constructor nor an assignment operator.
    This is by design. Actually, they are declared, but in a
    \c{private} section with the macro Q_DISABLE_COPY(). In fact, all
    Qt classes derived from QObject (direct or indirect) use this
    macro to declare their copy constructor and assignment operator to
    be private. The reasoning is found in the discussion on
    \l{Identity vs Value} {Identity vs Value} on the Qt \l{Object
    Model} page.

    The main consequence is that you should use pointers to QObject
    (or to your QObject subclass) where you might otherwise be tempted
    to use your QObject subclass as a value. For example, without a
    copy constructor, you can't use a subclass of QObject as the value
    to be stored in one of the container classes. You must store
    pointers.

    \section1 Auto-Connection

    Qt's meta-object system provides a mechanism to automatically connect
    signals and slots between QObject subclasses and their children. As long
    as objects are defined with suitable object names, and slots follow a
    simple naming convention, this connection can be performed at run-time
    by the QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName() function.

    \l uic generates code that invokes this function to enable
    auto-connection to be performed between widgets on forms created
    with \e{Qt Designer}. More information about using auto-connection with \e{Qt Designer} is
    given in the \l{Using a Designer UI File in Your Application} section of
    the \e{Qt Designer} manual.

    \section1 Dynamic Properties

    From Qt 4.2, dynamic properties can be added to and removed from QObject
    instances at run-time. Dynamic properties do not need to be declared at
    compile-time, yet they provide the same advantages as static properties
    and are manipulated using the same API - using property() to read them
    and setProperty() to write them.

    From Qt 4.3, dynamic properties are supported by
    \l{Qt Designer's Widget Editing Mode#The Property Editor}{Qt Designer},
    and both standard Qt widgets and user-created forms can be given dynamic
    properties.

    \section1 Internationalization (I18n)

    All QObject subclasses support Qt's translation features, making it possible
    to translate an application's user interface into different languages.

    To make user-visible text translatable, it must be wrapped in calls to
    the tr() function. This is explained in detail in the
    \l{Writing Source Code for Translation} document.

    QEvent::ChildAdded and QEvent::ChildRemoved events are sent to
    objects when children are added or removed. In both cases you can
    only rely on the child being a QObject, or if isWidgetType()
    returns \c true, a QWidget. (This is because, in the
    \l{QEvent::ChildAdded}{ChildAdded} case, the child is not yet
    fully constructed, and in the \l{QEvent::ChildRemoved}{ChildRemoved}
    case it might have been destructed already).

    QEvent::ChildPolished events are sent to widgets when children
    are polished, or when polished children are added. If you receive
    a child polished event, the child's construction is usually
    completed. However, this is not guaranteed, and multiple polish
    events may be delivered during the execution of a widget's
    constructor.

    For every child widget, you receive one
    \l{QEvent::ChildAdded}{ChildAdded} event, zero or more
    \l{QEvent::ChildPolished}{ChildPolished} events, and one
    \l{QEvent::ChildRemoved}{ChildRemoved} event.

    The \l{QEvent::ChildPolished}{ChildPolished} event is omitted if
    a child is removed immediately after it is added. If a child is
    polished several times during construction and destruction, you
    may receive several child polished events for the same child,

    To move an object to the main thread, use QApplication::instance()
    to retrieve a pointer to the current application, and then use
    QApplication::thread() to retrieve the thread in which the
    application lives. For example:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 7

    timers are first stopped in the current thread and restarted (with
    the same interval) in the \a targetThread. As a result, constantly
    moving an object between threads can postpone timer events
    indefinitely.

    A QEvent::ThreadChange event is sent to this object just before
    the thread affinity is changed. You can handle this event to
    perform any special processing. Note that any new events that are
    posted to this object will be handled in the \a targetThread,

    must be same as the current thread affinity. In other words, this

    \fn void QObject::installEventFilter(QObject *filterObj)

    Installs an event filter \a filterObj on this object. For example:
    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 14

    An event filter is an object that receives all events that are
    sent to this object. The filter can either stop the event or
    forward it to this object. The event filter \a filterObj receives
    events via its eventFilter() function. The eventFilter() function
    must return true if the event should be filtered, (i.e. stopped);
    otherwise it must return false.

    If multiple event filters are installed on a single object, the
    filter that was installed last is activated first.

    Here's a \c KeyPressEater class that eats the key presses of its
    monitored objects:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 15

    And here's how to install it on two widgets:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 16

    The QShortcut class, for example, uses this technique to intercept
    shortcut key presses.

    \warning If you delete the receiver object in your eventFilter()
    function, be sure to return true. If you return false, Qt sends
    the event to the deleted object and the program will crash.

    Note that the filtering object must be in the same thread as this
    object. If \a filterObj is in a different thread, this function does
    nothing. If either \a filterObj or this object are moved to a different
    thread after calling this function, the event filter will not be
    called until both objects have the same thread affinity again (it
    is \e not removed).

    The object will be deleted when control returns to the event

    QCoreApplication::exec()), the object will be deleted once the
    event loop is started. If deleteLater() is called after the main event loop
    has stopped, the object will not be deleted.
    Since Qt 4.8, if deleteLater() is called on an object that lives in a
    thread with no running event loop, the object will be destroyed when the
    thread finishes.

    Note that entering and leaving a new event loop (e.g., by opening a modal
    dialog) will \e not perform the deferred deletion; for the object to be
    deleted, the control must return to the event loop from which deleteLater()
    was called. This does not apply to objects deleted while a previous, nested
    event loop was still running: the Qt event loop will delete those objects
    as soon as the new nested event loop starts.

    \b{Note:} It is safe to call this function more than once; when the

    \threadsafe

    Creates a connection of the given \a type from the \a signal in
    the \a sender object to the \a method in the \a receiver object.
    Returns a handle to the connection that can be used to disconnect
    it later.

    You must use the \c SIGNAL() and \c SLOT() macros when specifying
    the \a signal and the \a method, for example:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 22

    This example ensures that the label always displays the current
    scroll bar value. Note that the signal and slots parameters must not
    contain any variable names, only the type. E.g. the following would
    not work and return false:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 23

    A signal can also be connected to another signal:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 24

    In this example, the \c MyWidget constructor relays a signal from
    a private member variable, and makes it available under a name
    that relates to \c MyWidget.

    A signal can be connected to many slots and signals. Many signals
    can be connected to one slot.

    If a signal is connected to several slots, the slots are activated
    in the same order in which the connections were made, when the
    signal is emitted.

    The function returns a QMetaObject::Connection that represents
    a handle to a connection if it successfully
    connects the signal to the slot. The connection handle will be invalid
    if it cannot create the connection, for example, if QObject is unable
    to verify the existence of either \a signal or \a method, or if their
    signatures aren't compatible.
    You can check if the handle is valid by casting it to a bool.

    By default, a signal is emitted for every connection you make;
    two signals are emitted for duplicate connections. You can break
    all of these connections with a single disconnect() call.
    If you pass the Qt::UniqueConnection \a type, the connection will only
    be made if it is not a duplicate. If there is already a duplicate
    (exact same signal to the exact same slot on the same objects),
    the connection will fail and connect will return an invalid QMetaObject::Connection.

    \note Qt::UniqueConnections do not work for lambdas, non-member functions
    and functors; they only apply to connecting to member functions.

    The optional \a type parameter describes the type of connection
    to establish. In particular, it determines whether a particular
    signal is delivered to a slot immediately or queued for delivery
    at a later time. If the signal is queued, the parameters must be
    of types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt
    needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the
    scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error
    message

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 25

    call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you
    establish the connection.

    A signal-slot connection is removed when either of the objects

    \nullptr may be used as a wildcard, meaning "any signal", "any receiving
    object", or "any slot in the receiving object", respectively.

    The \a sender may never be \nullptr. (You cannot disconnect signals
    from more than one object in a single call.)

    If \a signal is \nullptr, it disconnects \a receiver and \a method from
    any signal. If not, only the specified signal is disconnected.

    If \a receiver is \nullptr, it disconnects anything connected to \a
    signal. If not, slots in objects other than \a receiver are not
    disconnected.

    If \a method is \nullptr, it disconnects anything that is connected to \a
    receiver. If not, only slots named \a method will be disconnected,
    and all other slots are left alone. The \a method must be \nullptr
    if \a receiver is left out, so you cannot disconnect a

    Disconnects \a signal in object \a sender from \a method in object
    \a receiver. Returns \c true if the connection is successfully broken;
    otherwise returns \c false.

    This function provides the same possibilities like
    \c {disconnect(const QObject *sender, const char *signal, const QObject *receiver, const char *method) }
    but uses QMetaMethod to represent the signal and the method to be disconnected.

    Additionally this function returns false and no signals and slots disconnected
    if:
    \list 1

        \li \a signal is not a member of sender class or one of its parent classes.

        \li \a method is not a member of receiver class or one of its parent classes.

        \li \a signal instance represents not a signal.

    \endlist

    QMetaMethod() may be used as wildcard in the meaning "any signal" or "any slot in receiving object".
    In the same way \nullptr can be used for \a receiver in the meaning "any receiving object".
    In this case method should also be QMetaMethod(). \a sender parameter should be never \nullptr.

    \snippet qmetaobject-revision/window.h Window class with revision

    This is useful when using the meta-object system to dynamically expose
    objects to another API, as you can match the version expected by multiple
    versions of the other API. Consider the following simplified example:

    \snippet qmetaobject-revision/main.cpp Window class using revision

    Using the same Window class as the previous example, the newProperty and
    newMethod would only be exposed in this code when the expected version is
    \c{2.1} or greater.

    Since all methods are considered to be in revision \c{0} if untagged, a tag
    of \c{Q_REVISION(0)} or \c{Q_REVISION(0, 0)} is invalid and ignored.

    You can pass one or two integer parameters to \c{Q_REVISION}. If you pass
    one parameter, it denotes the minor version only. This means that the major
    version is unspecified. If you pass two, the first parameter is the major
    version and the second parameter is the minor version.

    Creates a connection of the given \a type from the \a signal in
    the \a sender object to the \a method in the \a receiver object.
    Returns a handle to the connection that can be used to disconnect
    it later.

    The signal must be a function declared as a signal in the header.
    The slot function can be any member function that can be connected
    to the signal.
    A slot can be connected to a given signal if the signal has at
    least as many arguments as the slot, and there is an implicit
    conversion between the types of the corresponding arguments in the
    signal and the slot.

    Example:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 44

    This example ensures that the label always displays the current
    line edit text.

    A signal can be connected to many slots and signals. Many signals
    can be connected to one slot.

    If a signal is connected to several slots, the slots are activated
    in the same order as the order the connection was made, when the
    signal is emitted

    The function returns an handle to a connection if it successfully
    connects the signal to the slot. The Connection handle will be invalid
    if it cannot create the connection, for example, if QObject is unable
    to verify the existence of \a signal (if it was not declared as a signal)
    You can check if the QMetaObject::Connection is valid by casting it to a bool.

    By default, a signal is emitted for every connection you make;
    two signals are emitted for duplicate connections. You can break
    all of these connections with a single disconnect() call.
    If you pass the Qt::UniqueConnection \a type, the connection will only
    be made if it is not a duplicate. If there is already a duplicate
    (exact same signal to the exact same slot on the same objects),
    the connection will fail and connect will return an invalid QMetaObject::Connection.

    The optional \a type parameter describes the type of connection
    to establish. In particular, it determines whether a particular
    signal is delivered to a slot immediately or queued for delivery
    at a later time. If the signal is queued, the parameters must be
    of types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt
    needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the
    scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error
    message

    \since 5.2

    Creates a connection of a given \a type from \a signal in
    \a sender object to \a functor to be placed in a specific event
    loop of \a context, and returns a handle to the connection.

    \note Qt::UniqueConnections do not work for lambdas, non-member functions
    and functors; they only apply to connecting to member functions.

    The signal must be a function declared as a signal in the header.
    The slot function can be any function or functor that can be connected
    to the signal.
    A slot function can be connected to a given signal if the signal has at
    least as many arguments as the slot function. There must exist implicit
    conversion between the types of the corresponding arguments in the
    signal and the slot.

    Example:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 50

    Lambda expressions can also be used:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 51

    The connection will automatically disconnect if the sender or the context
    is destroyed.
    However, you should take care that any objects used within the functor
    are still alive when the signal is emitted.

    Overloaded functions can be resolved with help of \l qOverload.

    \overload disconnect()
    \threadsafe

    Disconnects \a signal in object \a sender from \a method in object
    \a receiver. Returns \c true if the connection is successfully broken;
    otherwise returns \c false.

    A signal-slot connection is removed when either of the objects
    involved are destroyed.

    disconnect() is typically used in three ways, as the following
    examples demonstrate.
    \list 1
    \li Disconnect everything connected to an object's signals:

       \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 26

    \li Disconnect everything connected to a specific signal:

       \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 47

    \li Disconnect a specific receiver:

       \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 30

    \li Disconnect a connection from one specific signal to a specific slot:

       \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qobject.cpp 48


    \endlist

    \nullptr may be used as a wildcard, meaning "any signal", "any receiving
    object", or "any slot in the receiving object", respectively.

    The \a sender may never be \nullptr. (You cannot disconnect signals
    from more than one object in a single call.)

    If \a signal is \nullptr, it disconnects \a receiver and \a method from
    any signal. If not, only the specified signal is disconnected.

    If \a receiver is \nullptr, it disconnects anything connected to \a
    signal. If not, only slots in the specified receiver are disconnected.
    disconnect() with a non-null \a receiver also disconnects slot functions
    that were connected with \a receiver as their context object.

    If \a method is \nullptr, it disconnects anything that is connected to \a
    receiver. If not, only slots named \a method will be disconnected,
    and all other slots are left alone. The \a method must be \nullptr
    if \a receiver is left out, so you cannot disconnect a
    specifically-named slot on all objects.

    \note It is not possible to use this overload to disconnect signals
    connected to functors or lambda expressions. That is because it is not
    possible to compare them. Instead, use the overload that takes a
    QMetaObject::Connection
