[Qt-creator] Compile-time signal and slot checking

[Danny Price]

I doubt this is possible at compile time as the connections are only made at
runtime. If it helps, connect() returns false if a connection fails which
you can use to catch with a macro.

Also this list is for the Creator IDE, not the language itself. Please post
these questions to qt-interest et al.
