[Qt5-feedback] User-defined meta data for QMetaProperty

[Ganshorn Thomas]

When talking about properties and metadata.
I would like to see the same for signals and slots.
I use them to define my protocols, i have a dynamic qobject class on the 
client and the real implementation on the server.
The protocol just swaps informations about the properties and 
signals/slots and the dynamic qobject on the other side says it has the 
same.
Internally it just makes network calls or react to network calls.

What i am missing was
additional informations for a signal/slot like a description i could add 
for the api (self describing api is a wonderful thing)
an out of the box mechanism to add signals/slots to a qobject without 
hacking my own dynamicqobject (it is not even fully working but good 
enough right now).
informations for my client if he can call that specific slot based on 
"security" settings.

Currently i wrote an additional system just adding all these 
informations on top, but i always felt that i do twice the work where 
moc is already doing most of it.

Greetings
Thomas
