Unification of Win32 and UWP

Posted by dmitriano | QT, UWP |

Looks like QT6 does not support UWP:

During this year’s Microsoft Build conference Microsoft announced the
unification of Win32 and UWP for their IoT offering. In general, it
looks like Microsoft is stepping away from their strict stance about the
usage of UWP technology and the Windows Store. Getting a classic Windows
application into the Windows Store is much easier nowadays and will be
even simpler in the future. Microsoft’s new direction in their IoT
offering will bring more “classic Windows development” into the IoT
world and there will be no need for a dedicated UWP port.

Compiling a single C++ source file in QT Creator

Posted by dmitriano | QT |

My QT Creator builds an Android app with the following command:

"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build D:/dev/repos/tradeclient/src/build-TradeClient-Android_Qt_6_5_2_arm64_v8a_debug_Clang_arm64_v8a-Debug --target all

I simply started Windows Command Prompt and was able to run the following commands:

set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\qtcreator-10.0.2\bin\jom
cd D:\dev\repos\tradeclient\src\build-TradeClient-Android_Qt_6_5_2_arm64_v8a_debug_Clang_arm64_v8a-Debug
"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build . --target BotFactory.cpp.o
"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build . --target ExchangeModel.cpp.o > my.txt 2>&1
"D:\dev\tools\cmake-3.24.2-windows-x86_64\bin\cmake.exe" --build . --target Bots/ShortBot.cpp.o > my2.txt 2>&1

What is the type of a string literal in C++?

Posted by dmitriano | C++ |

The code below compiles and the asserts do not fail:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    auto a = "str";
    const auto& ar = "str";
    const char* b = "str";
    auto const &c = a;
    auto* d = &a;
    const auto e = 2;

    static_assert(std::is_same_v<const char(&)[4], decltype("str")>);
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<const char*, decltype(a)>);
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<const char(&)[4], decltype(ar)>);
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<const char* const&, decltype(c)>);
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<const char**, decltype(d)>);
    static_assert(std::is_same_v<const int, decltype(e)>);

    std::cout << "a: " << typeid(a).name() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "ar: " << typeid(ar).name() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "b: " << typeid(b).name() << std::endl;
    
    return 0;
}

And a and b have identical typeids.

Building QT6.5.2 for X11 on Ubuntu 22.04

Posted by dmitriano | QT |

In addition to the packages installed while building QT6.4 I installed the following packages required for X11:

sudo apt install libfontconfig1-dev libfreetype6-dev libx11-dev libx11-xcb-dev \
  libxext-dev libxfixes-dev libxi-dev libxrender-dev libxcb1-dev \
  libxcb-cursor-dev libxcb-glx0-dev libxcb-keysyms1-dev libxcb-image0-dev \
  libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-icccm4-dev libxcb-sync-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev \
  libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-randr0-dev libxcb-render-util0-dev libxcb-util-dev \
  libxcb-xinerama0-dev libxcb-xkb-dev libxkbcommon-dev libxkbcommon-x11-dev

And configured QT with dynamic linking:

export MY_INSTALL_PATH=/home/def/libs/QT6.5d
export QT_SRC_PATH=/home/def/repos/qt-everywhere-src-6.5.2

${QT_SRC_PATH}/configure -prefix $MY_INSTALL_PATH -DQT_NO_EXCEPTIONS=1 -debug-and-release -force-debug-info -opensource -confirm-license \
  -c++std c++20 -openssl-linked \
  -skip qt3d -skip qt5compat -skip qtactiveqt -skip qtcharts -skip qtcoap -skip qtconnectivity \
  -skip qtdatavis3d -skip qtdoc -skip qtlottie -skip qtmqtt -skip qtnetworkauth -skip qtopcua \
  -skip qtserialport -skip qtpositioning -skip qtquicktimeline -skip qtquick3d -skip qtremoteobjects \
  -skip qtscxml -skip qtsensors -skip qtserialbus -skip qtvirtualkeyboard \
  -skip qtwebchannel -skip qtwebengine -skip qtwebview -skip qtquick3dphysics -skip qtspeech -skip qtlocation \

An example of overloading operator << in C++

Posted by dmitriano | C++ |

The code below is compiled successfully with both GCC and MSVC:

#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>

template <class C>
class basic_format
{
public:
    
    template <typename T>
    basic_format & operator << (const T & val)
    {
        out << val;
        return *this;
    }

    std::basic_string<C> str() const { return out.str(); }

    operator std::basic_string<C>() const { return str(); }

private:
    
    std::basic_ostringstream<C> out;
};
