[Qt-interest] QObject::disconnect() Return Value

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

I always used logical assumptions that it returns false if currently there is NO requested connection established for any reason.
( no such slot of that specific object is connected / exist , the same as no requested signal of that specific object exist ).

This may be due to mistype of slot name and by design - for example if you want to make sure that only one connection exist and you have no idea if it was connected or not at that time , you just call disconnect, then connect if necessary.

If connection found it always will be disconnected.

Regards,
    Alex

The Qt documentation states that QObject::disconnect() "Returns true
if the connection is successfully broken; otherwise returns false.".
In what type of situation would it fail to disconnect?  I don't recall
seeing the return value checked in any example code that I have read.
