[Development] Iterations on QUIP-23 - "Qt-Security header in source code files"

[Volker Hilsheimer]

Hi all,


we have had a few rounds in which we reviewed code in various Qt modules and added security tags as per https://contribute.qt-project.org/quips/23

As expected, we learned a few things in the process, and are preparing a few improvements and clarifications. One of the proposals is that we should always tag header and sources files the same way:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/meta/quips/+/630766

Rationale as per the change, but see discussion as well, and contribute with your perspective.

I expect that we’ll see a few more clarifications, both normative and editorial, coming to that QUIP as we work our way through the code base. We might not start a new mailing list thread for each of those changes, so if you care about this process, it might be a good idea to configure your gerrit notifications to make you aware of incoming patches.


Cheers,
Volker
