The <QtGlobal> header provides basic declarations and is included by all other Qt headers. More...
The declarations include types, functions and macros.
The type definitions are partly convenience definitions for basic types (some of which guarantee certain bit-sizes on all platforms supported by Qt), partly types related to Qt message handling. The functions are related to generating messages, Qt version handling and comparing and adjusting object values. And finally, some of the declared macros enable programmers to add compiler or platform specific code to their applications, while others are convenience macros for larger operations.
The header file declares several type definitions that guarantee a specified bit-size on all platforms supported by Qt for various basic types, for example qint8 which is a signed char guaranteed to be 8-bit on all platforms supported by Qt. The header file also declares the qlonglong type definition for long long int (__int64 on Windows).
Several convenience type definitions are declared: qreal for double, uchar for unsigned char, uint for unsigned int, ulong for unsigned long and ushort for unsigned short.
Finally, the QtMsgType definition identifies the various messages that can be generated and sent to a Qt message handler; QtMsgHandler is a type definition for a pointer to a function with the signature void myMsgHandler(QtMsgType, const char *).
The <QtGlobal> header file contains several functions comparing and adjusting an object's value. These functions take a template type as argument: You can retrieve the absolute value of an object using the qAbs() function, and you can bound a given object's value by given minimum and maximum values using the qBound() function. You can retrieve the minimum and maximum of two given objects using qMin() and qMax() respectively. All these functions return a corresponding template type; the template types can be replaced by any other type. For example:
int myValue = 10;
int minValue = 2;
int maxValue = 6;
int boundedValue = qBound(minValue, myValue, maxValue);
// boundedValue == 6
<QtGlobal> also contains functions that generate messages from the given string argument: qCritical(), qDebug(), qFatal() and qWarning(). These functions call the message handler with the given message. For example:
if (!driver()->isOpen() || driver()->isOpenError()) {
qWarning("QSqlQuery::exec: database not open");
return false;
}
The remaining functions are qRound() and qRound64(), which both accept a qreal value as their argument returning the value rounded up to the nearest integer and 64-bit integer respectively, the qInstallMsgHandler() function which installs the given QtMsgHandler, and the qVersion() function which returns the version number of Qt at run-time as a string.
The <QtGlobal> header file provides a range of macros (Q_CC_*) that are defined if the application is compiled using the specified platforms. For example, the Q_CC_SUN macro is defined if the application is compiled using Forte Developer, or Sun Studio C++. The header file also declares a range of macros (Q_OS_*) that are defined for the specified platforms. For example, Q_OS_X11 which is defined for the X Window System.
The purpose of these macros is to enable programmers to add compiler or platform specific code to their application.
The remaining macros are convenience macros for larger operations: The QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP() and QT_TR_NOOP() macros provide the possibility of marking text for dynamic translation, i.e. translation without changing the stored source text. The Q_ASSERT() and Q_ASSERT_X() enables warning messages of various level of refinement. The Q_FOREACH() and foreach() macros implement Qt's foreach loop.
The Q_INT64_C() and Q_UINT64_C() macros wrap signed and unsigned 64-bit integer literals in a platform-independent way. The Q_CHECK_PTR() macro prints a warning containing the source code's file name and line number, saying that the program ran out of memory, if the pointer is 0. The qPrintable() macro represent an easy way of printing text.
Finally, the QT_POINTER_SIZE macro expands to the size of a pointer in bytes, and the QT_VERSION and QT_VERSION_STR macros expand to a numeric value or a string, respectively, specifying Qt's version number, i.e the version the application is compiled against.

Returns the absolute value of value. For example:
int absoluteValue;
int myValue = -4;
absoluteValue = qAbs(myValue);
// absoluteValue == 4
Returns value bounded by min and max. This is equivalent to qMax(min, qMin(value, max)). For example:
int myValue = 10;
int minValue = 2;
int maxValue = 6;
int boundedValue = qBound(minValue, myValue, maxValue);
// boundedValue == 6
Calls the message handler with the critical message msg. If no message handler has been installed, the message is printed to stderr. Under Windows, the message is sent to the debugger.
This function takes a format string and a list of arguments, similar to the C printf() function.
Example:
void load(const QString &fileName)
{
QFile file(fileName);
if (!file.exists())
qCritical("File '%s' does not exist!", qPrintable(fileName));
}
If you include <QtDebug>, a more convenient syntax is also available:
qCritical() << "Brush:" << myQBrush << "Other value:" << i;
A space is inserted between the items, and a newline is appended at the end.
Warning: The internal buffer is limited to 8192 bytes, including the '\0'-terminator.
See also qDebug(), qWarning(), qFatal(), qInstallMsgHandler(), and Debugging Techniques.
Calls the message handler with the debug message msg. If no message handler has been installed, the message is printed to stderr. Under Windows, the message is sent to the console, if it is a console application; otherwise, it is sent to the debugger. This function does nothing if QT_NO_DEBUG_OUTPUT was defined during compilation.
If you pass the function a format string and a list of arguments, it works in similar way to the C printf() function.
Example:
qDebug("Items in list: %d", myList.size());
If you include <QtDebug>, a more convenient syntax is also available:
qDebug() << "Brush:" << myQBrush << "Other value:" << i;
This syntax automatically puts a single space between each item, and outputs a newline at the end. It supports many C++ and Qt types.
Warning: The internal buffer is limited to 8192 bytes, including the '\0'-terminator.
See also qWarning(), qCritical(), qFatal(), qInstallMsgHandler(), and Debugging Techniques.
Calls the message handler with the fatal message msg. If no message handler has been installed, the message is printed to stderr. Under Windows, the message is sent to the debugger.
If you are using the default message handler this function will abort on Unix systems to create a core dump. On Windows, for debug builds, this function will report a _CRT_ERROR enabling you to connect a debugger to the application.
This function takes a format string and a list of arguments, similar to the C printf() function.
Example:
int divide(int a, int b)
{
if (b == 0) // program error
qFatal("divide: cannot divide by zero");
return a / b;
}
Warning: The internal buffer is limited to 8192 bytes, including the '\0'-terminator.
See also qDebug(), qCritical(), qWarning(), qInstallMsgHandler(), and Debugging Techniques.
Reads a big-endian number from memory location src and returns the number in the host byte order representation. On CPU architectures where the host byte order is little-endian (such as x86) this will swap the byte order; otherwise it will just read from src.
Note: Template type T can either be a qint16, qint32 or qint64. Other types of integers, e.g., qlong, are not applicable.
There are no data alignment constraints for src.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
See also qFromLittleEndian(), qToBigEndian(), and qToLittleEndian().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Converts src from big-endian byte order and returns the number in host byte order representation of that number. On CPU architectures where the host byte order is little-endian (such as x86) this will return src with the byte order swapped; otherwise it will return src unmodified.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Reads a little-endian number from memory location src and returns the number in the host byte order representation. On CPU architectures where the host byte order is big-endian (such as PowerPC) this will swap the byte order; otherwise it will just read from src.
Note: Template type T can either be a qint16, qint32 or qint64. Other types of integers, e.g., qlong, are not applicable.

Compares the floating point value p1 and p2 and returns true if they are considered equal, otherwise false.
The two numbers are compared in a relative way, where the exactness is stronger the smaller the numbers are.
Note: This function is thread-safe.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
Note: This function is thread-safe.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.
Installs a Qt message handler which has been defined previously. Returns a pointer to the previous message handler (which may be 0).
The message handler is a function that prints out debug messages, warnings, critical and fatal error messages. The Qt library (debug version) contains hundreds of warning messages that are printed when internal errors (usually invalid function arguments) occur. If you implement your own message handler, you get total control of these messages.
The default message handler prints the message to the standard output under X11 or to the debugger under Windows. If it is a fatal message, the application aborts immediately.
Only one message handler can be defined, since this is usually done on an application-wide basis to control debug output.
To restore the message handler, call qInstallMsgHandler(0).
Example:
#include <qapplication.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void myMessageOutput(QtMsgType type, const char *msg)
{
switch (type) {
case QtDebugMsg:
fprintf(stderr, "Debug: %s\n", msg);
break;
case QtWarningMsg:
fprintf(stderr, "Warning: %s\n", msg);
break;
case QtCriticalMsg:
fprintf(stderr, "Critical: %s\n", msg);
break;
case QtFatalMsg:
fprintf(stderr, "Fatal: %s\n", msg);
abort();
}
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
qInstallMsgHandler(myMessageOutput);
QApplication app(argc, argv);
...
return app.exec();
}
See also qDebug(), qWarning(), qCritical(), qFatal(), QtMsgType, and Debugging Techniques.
Use QSysInfo::MacintoshVersion instead.
See also QSysInfo.
Returns the maximum of value1 and value2. For example:
int myValue = 6;
int yourValue = 4;
int maxValue = qMax(myValue, yourValue);
// maxValue == myValue
Returns the minimum of value1 and value2. For example:
int myValue = 6;
int yourValue = 4;
int minValue = qMin(myValue, yourValue);
// minValue == yourValue
Rounds value to the nearest 64-bit integer. For example:
qreal valueA = 42949672960.3; qreal valueB = 42949672960.7; int roundedValueA = qRound(valueA); // roundedValueA = 42949672960 int roundedValueB = qRound(valueB); // roundedValueB = 42949672961
Rounds value to the nearest integer. For example:
qreal valueA = 2.3; qreal valueB = 2.7; int roundedValueA = qRound(valueA); // roundedValueA = 2 int roundedValueB = qRound(valueB); // roundedValueB = 3
Writes the number src with template type T to the memory location at dest in big-endian byte order.
Note that template type T can only be an integer data type (signed or unsigned).
There are no data alignment constraints for dest.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
See also qFromBigEndian(), qFromLittleEndian(), and qToLittleEndian().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Returns the version number of Qt at run-time as a string (for example, "4.1.2"). This may be a different version than the version the application was compiled against.
See also QT_VERSION_STR.
Calls the message handler with the warning message msg. If no message handler has been installed, the message is printed to stderr. Under Windows, the message is sent to the debugger. This function does nothing if QT_NO_WARNING_OUTPUT was defined during compilation; it exits if the environment variable QT_FATAL_WARNINGS is defined.
This function takes a format string and a list of arguments, similar to the C printf() function.
Example:
void f(int c)
{
if (c > 200)
qWarning("f: bad argument, c == %d", c);
}
If you include <QtDebug>, a more convenient syntax is also available:
qWarning() << "Brush:" << myQBrush << "Other value:" << i;
This syntax inserts a space between each item, and appends a newline at the end.
Warning: The internal buffer is limited to 8192 bytes, including the '\0'-terminator.
See also qDebug(), qCritical(), qFatal(), qInstallMsgHandler(), and Debugging Techniques.
Thread-safe version of the standard C++ rand() function.
Returns a value between 0 and RAND_MAX (defined in <cstdlib> and <stdlib.h>), the next number in the current sequence of pseudo-random integers.
Use qsrand() to initialize the pseudo-random number generator with a seed value.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also qsrand().
Thread-safe version of the standard C++ srand() function.
Sets the argument seed to be used to generate a new random number sequence of pseudo random integers to be returned by qrand().
If no seed value is provided, qrand() is automatically seeded with a value of 1.
The sequence of random numbers generated is deterministic per thread. For example, if two threads call qsrand(1) and subsequently calls qrand(), the threads will get the same random number sequence.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also qrand().
Enables automatic mnemonics on Mac if on is true; otherwise this feature is disabled.
Note that this function is only available on Mac where mnemonics are disabled by default.
See also QShortcut.
Expands to the size of a pointer in bytes (4 or 8). This is equivalent to sizeof(void *) but can be used in a preprocessor directive.
This macro can be used to ensure that the application is run against a recent enough version of Qt. This is especially useful if your application depends on a specific bug fix introduced in a bug-fix release (e.g., 4.0.2).
The argc and argv parameters are the main() function's argc and argv parameters. The version parameter is a string literal that specifies which version of Qt the application requires (e.g., "4.0.2").
Example:
#include <QApplication>
#include <QMessageBox>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QT_REQUIRE_VERSION(argc, argv, "4.0.2")
QApplication app(argc, argv);
...
return app.exec();
}
Marks the string literal sourceText for dynamic translation in the given context and with comment, i.e the stored sourceText will not be altered. The context is typically a class and also needs to be specified as string literal. The string literal comment will be available for translators using e.g. Qt Linguist.
The macro expands to anonymous struct of the two string literals passed as sourceText and comment.
Example:
static { const char *source; const char *comment; } greeting_strings[] =
{
QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP3("FriendlyConversation", "Hello",
"A really friendly hello"),
QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP3("FriendlyConversation", "Goodbye",
"A really friendly goodbye")
};
QString FriendlyConversation::greeting(int type)
{
return tr(greeting_strings[type].source,
greeting_strings[type].comment);
}
QString global_greeting(int type)
{
return qApp->translate("FriendlyConversation",
greeting_strings[type].source,
greeting_strings[type].comment);
}
This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.
See also QT_TR_NOOP(), QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP(), and Internationalization with Qt.
Marks the string literal sourceText for dynamic translation in the given context, i.e the stored sourceText will not be altered. The context is typically a class and also needs to be specified as string literal.
The macro expands to sourceText.
Example:
static const char *greeting_strings[] = {
QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("FriendlyConversation", "Hello"),
QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP("FriendlyConversation", "Goodbye")
};
QString FriendlyConversation::greeting(int type)
{
return tr(greeting_strings[type]);
}
QString global_greeting(int type)
{
return qApp->translate("FriendlyConversation",
greeting_strings[type]);
}
See also QT_TR_NOOP(), QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP3(), and Internationalization with Qt.
Marks the string literal sourceText for dynamic translation in the current context (class), i.e the stored sourceText will not be altered.
The macro expands to sourceText.
Example:
QString FriendlyConversation::greeting(int type)
{
static const char *greeting_strings[] = {
QT_TR_NOOP("Hello"),
QT_TR_NOOP("Goodbye")
};
return tr(greeting_strings[type]);
}
See also QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP() and Internationalization with Qt.
This macro expands a numeric value of the form 0xMMNNPP (MM = major, NN = minor, PP = patch) that specifies Qt's version number. For example, if you compile your application against Qt 4.1.2, the QT_VERSION macro will expand to 0x040102.
You can use QT_VERSION to use the latest Qt features where available. For example:
#if QT_VERSION >= 0x040100
QIcon icon = style()->standardIcon(QStyle::SP_TrashIcon);
#else
QPixmap pixmap = style()->standardPixmap(QStyle::SP_TrashIcon);
QIcon icon(pixmap);
#endif
See also QT_VERSION_STR and qVersion().
This macro expands to a string that specifies Qt's version number (for example, "4.1.2"). This is the version against which the application is compiled.
See also qVersion() and QT_VERSION.
Prints a warning message containing the source code file name and line number if test is false.
Q_ASSERT() is useful for testing pre- and post-conditions during development. It does nothing if QT_NO_DEBUG was defined during compilation.
Example:
// File: div.cpp
#include <QtGlobal>
int divide(int a, int b)
{
Q_ASSERT(b != 0);
return a / b;
}
If b is zero, the Q_ASSERT statement will output the following message using the qFatal() function:
ASSERT: "b == 0" in file div.cpp, line 7
See also Q_ASSERT_X(), qFatal(), and Debugging Techniques.
Prints the message what together with the location where, the source file name and line number if test is false.
Q_ASSERT_X is useful for testing pre- and post-conditions during development. It does nothing if QT_NO_DEBUG was defined during compilation.
Example:
// File: div.cpp
#include <QtGlobal>
int divide(int a, int b)
{
Q_ASSERT_X(b != 0, "divide", "division by zero");
return a / b;
}
If b is zero, the Q_ASSERT_X statement will output the following message using the qFatal() function:
ASSERT failure in divide: "division by zero", file div.cpp, line 7
See also Q_ASSERT(), qFatal(), and Debugging Techniques.
This macro represents a value you can compare to the macro Q_BYTE_ORDER to determine the endian-ness of your system. In a big-endian system, the most significant byte is stored at the lowest address. The other bytes follow in decreasing order of significance.
#if Q_BYTE_ORDER == Q_BIG_ENDIAN ... #endif
See also Q_BYTE_ORDER and Q_LITTLE_ENDIAN.
This macro can be used to determine the byte order your system uses for storing data in memory. i.e., whether your system is little-endian or big-endian. It is set by Qt to one of the macros Q_LITTLE_ENDIAN or Q_BIG_ENDIAN. You normally won't need to worry about endian-ness, but you might, for example if you need to know which byte of an integer or UTF-16 character is stored in the lowest address. Endian-ness is important in networking, where computers with different values for Q_BYTE_ORDER must pass data back and forth.
Use this macro as in the following examples.
#if Q_BYTE_ORDER == Q_BIG_ENDIAN ... #endif or #if Q_BYTE_ORDER == Q_LITTLE_ENDIAN ... #endif
See also Q_BIG_ENDIAN and Q_LITTLE_ENDIAN.

You can use this macro to specify information about a custom type Type. With accurate type information, Qt's generic containers can choose appropriate storage methods and algorithms.
Flags can be one of the following:
Example of a "primitive" type:
struct Point2D
{
int x;
int y;
};
Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO(Point2D, Q_PRIMITIVE_TYPE);
Example of a movable type:
class Point2D
{
public:
Point2D() { data = new int[2]; }
Point2D(const Point2D &other) { ... }
~Point2D() { delete[] data; }
Point2D &operator=(const Point2D &other) { ... }
int x() const { return data[0]; }
int y() const { return data[1]; }
private:
int *data;
};
Q_DECLARE_TYPEINFO(Point2D, Q_MOVABLE_TYPE);
Same as foreach(variable, container).
This macro is available even when no_keywords is specified using the .pro file's CONFIG variable.
See also foreach().
Same as forever.
This macro is available even when no_keywords is specified using the .pro file's CONFIG variable.
See also foreach().
Expands to a string that describe the function the macro resides in. How this string looks more specifically is compiler dependent. With GNU GCC it is typically the function signature, while with other compilers it might be the line and column number.
Q_FUNC_INFO can be conveniently used with qDebug(). For example, this function:
template<typename TInputType>
const TInputType &myMin(const TInputType &value1, const TInputType &value2)
{
qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "was called with value1:" << value1 << "value2:" << value2;
if(value1 < value2)
return value1;
else
return value2;
}
when instantiated with the integer type, will with the GCC compiler produce:
const TInputType& myMin(const TInputType&, const TInputType&) [with TInputType = int] was called with value1: 3 value2: 4
If this macro is used outside a function, the behavior is undefined.
Wraps the signed 64-bit integer literal in a platform-independent way. For example:
qint64 value = Q_INT64_C(932838457459459);
See also qint64 and Q_UINT64_C().
This macro represents a value you can compare to the macro Q_BYTE_ORDER to determine the endian-ness of your system. In a little-endian system, the least significant byte is stored at the lowest address. The other bytes follow in increasing order of significance.
