Convert small PyQt script to Qt C++

From a glance, it seems to me you are doing well. I hope you don't mean you are giving up having got this far? I can't spare much time, but do you want me to tell you the C++ for the couple of bits I see commented out in your .cpp?

Kris Revi

@JonB sadly i am giving up :/ when i ran this it gave me a shit load of errors (i know that 1 error can cause other things to error out aswell) but i couldn't figure out the error anyway so

That's why you should always fix the first error first :-)

@jsulm i coded everything needed (the cpp and h i linked) befor testing so :/

i bet it wouldn't fix it anyway :/

@Kris-Revi
It would not fix errors, no! I'm not clear whether you are saying your "errors" are at compile/link time, or at runtime....

I don't know what you mean here.
You wrote that you get errors when building the code, right?
So, start with the first error...

Hi,

One issue in your code is in your constructor, you are checking if the vector is empty but you have the logic reversed. You do something with it when it's actually empty.

@ compile

SGaist

Can you share the errors you got ?

JonB

@Kris-Revi
Then, if you can't figure it, show us the first line at fault and what the error message is, if you'd like help... :)

BTW, it won't affect your compile behaviour, but you absolutely need to heed @SGaist's earlier observation for your run-time behaviour. Plus, I didn't follow the logic for the consequence, but you still have the commented-out initialization of the array when it's empty to deal with.

Merry Christmas!

After some testing, the functionality is kind of strange, not sure if thats intended behavior, or if I made a bug 🤔
For you to find out I guess 😜

@J-Hilk wow, thank you sooo much! christmas came early!! <3

i get these errors in the Header file alone

G:\QT GUI\TesterGradient\gradient.h:31: error: C2429: attribute 'nodiscard' requires compiler flag '/std:c++17'

@Kris-Revi well, it compiles for me :P

remove the [[nodiscard]] attribute, its not needed, and if your compiler is not c++17 capable, no need to have it there

Edit: check the repo, I updated it, inclusive a bugfix I found.
