[Interest] Need argumentative help..... giving qobject copy/assignment constructor and put it in qlist/qmap

[Guido Seifert]

One should think this is a clear warning sign. :-)
But the code worked. So problem solved. Now I am wondering if I was over-cautious, or if there are less obvious problems. With different compilers? Platforms? Some less known QMap/QList features, which might shuffle the objects around? Not that the obvious stuff isn't enough NOT to do this.

There is not much copying around. The objects sit happily in their containers. But it smells. So what is the worst what can be expected? Something not obvious? On different compilers? I need some convincing reasons, which cannot just waved away..... or confirmation that eveything is fine and I can stop worrying.... but this also must be convincing. Perhaps even more ;-)
