Basically yes. For "other" code you get the "C style view of the world"  ;-}

However, there should be code like

  #include <qglobal.h> 
  int qtGhVersion = QT_VERSION; 
  #if (QT_VERSION >= 0x040400) 

in gdbmacros.cpp to avoid compilation of that part. This check was added
pretty late in the process. Is it missing in your case?

Noted as a feature request.
