[Interest] Tempalted QObjects

[Jean-Michaël Celerier]

I saw some other approaches to produce static reflection information by
libclang usage,
would inspired approaches be acceptable ? e.g.
https://github.com/AustinBrunkhorst/CPP-Reflection/

Also, why is "#include'ing it from your class's header file," considered
bad ?
In "standard" Qt software, it is sometimes useful to #include
"foo_moc.cpp"  (or foo.moc, I don't remember)
in the implementation file, for instance if multiple classes are defined in
the same header IIRC.

But when doing template-heavy software the .hpp have more or less the same
role
for the developer that "traditional" implementation files so it should not
come as shocking to require
inclusion of files in the .hpp. But it's only my personal opinion.


Best,
Jean-Michaël
