Ok, those are two good points (setting the initial value and ensuring each
source property is bound to exactly one expression).
It could be a simple as:
template <typename Getter, typename Signal,
typename Receiver, typename Setter>
QMetaObject::Connection bind(QObject *sender, Getter getter, Signal signal,
Receiver receiver, Setter setter)
{
QMetaObject::Connection c =
connect(sender, signal, receiver, setter, Qt::ExclusiveConnetion);
if (c)
(receiver->*setter)( (sender->*getter)() );
return c;
}
The only innovation here is Qt::ExclusiveConnection (which is different from
Qt::UniqueConnection). The syntax needs a little work so that the setter can
be a PMF or a lambda.
