Solved Get warnings by using a QObject class in DLL
-
I created a DLL and used it in another project. I found all DLL classes which inherit from QObject cause warings about dllimport, so I just made a very simple class called "MyLib" to create a DLL and to see if it will still hapen.
In mylib.h:
#ifndef MYLIB_H #define MYLIB_H #include "MyLib_global.h" #include <QObject> class MYLIB_EXPORT MyLib : public QObject { Q_OBJECT public: MyLib(); void Hello(); }; #endif // MYLIB_H
When the class inherits from QObject, it can run but the warnings show up:
warning: 'static void MyLib::qt_static_metacall(QObject*, QMetaObject::Call, int, void**)' redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored [-Wattributes]
debug\moc_mylib.cpp:55:6: warning: 'static void MyLib::qt_static_metacall(QObject*, QMetaObject::Call, int, void**)' redeclared without dllimport attribute: previous dllimport ignored [-Wattributes]

^~~~~

^~~~~If I remove QObject and test again, the warnings will disappear. I am using Qt6.0.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? -

MYLIB_EXPORT
Your definition of the macro is wrong when you use the library. Please read the docs.

Do you mean I should define Q_DECL_EXPORT and Q_DECL_IMPORT correctly?
I think they are correct because a header file created by Qt defines them.
When I move the cursor to "MYLIB_EXPORT", it also seems correct, as shown below.My shared library:
My client:
-
You must not add mylib.h to your pro-file of MyTest.pro - it does not belong to this project and triggers a moc run for it.

I think it's right.
Thanks for your help!
