Singleton QDateTime Issues

Is it possible to make singleton class that inherits from QDateTime?
I would like use the same QDateTime instance insted of currentTime in all my classes.
For exemple:
#ifndef CALENDAR_H #define CALENDAR_H #include <QDateTime> #include <QObject> class Calendar : public QDateTime { Q_OBJECT public: virtual ~Calendar() {} static Calendar & GetInstance() { static Calendar instance; return instance; } private: explicit Calendar() : QDateTime() {} }; #endif // CALENDAR_HThis code produce a lots of MOQ errors

And what do you think you gain with this class??

I would include this class in all widgets and use this instead of System Clock
QString dateTimeStr = Calendar::GetInstance().toString("\"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm\""); dateTimeLbl = new QLabel(dateTimeStr); -

Can I define a static QDateTime in main mainwindow and use it in all widgets included inside itself?

Why do you need a static QDateTime? What is your use case?

Hi
As @jsulm says , you don't need a singleton and static class to do this if you have to do something else that we don't know.
To do this you can write QString text = QDateTime::currentDateTime().toString(""yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm""); without declare new class o singleton class.My application works on embedded device and the system time is not reliable so I would use a RTC (Real Time Clock IC) such a main clock.
I could use QDateTime::currentDateTime().toString(""yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm"") only if I can set my system time equal to RTC time but I don't know if it's possible

@Simof
So don't use rawcurrentDateTime. If you don't want to repeatedly read RTC (I don't do embedded, maybe that is expensive or inconvenient?), read it once and getcurrentDateTime()at same time, calculate offset difference, use that adjustment amount tocurrentDateTime()from then onward?
