User Interface Compiler (Uic) qt3 vs qt4/5, impl argument equivalence

[peterphonic]

I would like to know what happened to the -impl argument in qt4/5 that was available in qt3?

qt3 : https://doc.qt.io/archives/3.3/uic.html
qt5 : https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/uic.html

This argument is gone from qt4 and 5 and I am wondering if there is an equivalence or it is just obsolete and not needed anymore in 4/5?

thx

Hi and welcome to the forums.
What did -impl do waaaay back then ?

[peterphonic]

Generate implementation:

uic [options] -impl <headerfile> <file>
<headerfile> - name of the declaration file

@peterphonic
I think that's implicit now.

I guess it's not needed anymore. If I understood the Qt3 docs correctly, it was there to set a custom header file or name.
Now, the class and uic will set up the header automatically.
