What am I doing wrong?
-
So, coding is an on-and-off thing for me.
I've had to reimage my laptop several times over the last year.I'm running Qt Creator 4.9.0 based on Qt 5.12.2
The book I am working from is Blanchett and Summerfield "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4."I realise that the code in the book will not work correctly with the latest Qt without some changes.
So, I have a copy of the code that some gentleman (whose name escapes me) has written to account for Qt 5 changes.
The last time I was coding, this all worked well, and I was coding away fine with the updated code.That was a few months ago.
Now, here's the rub - I was getting back to working through the book and opened some basic, easy stuff from the updated code samples, and Qt has it lit up like a Christmas tree with warning and errors.So, has something changed in the newest version that I've installed (when I've reimaged my laptop, I downloaded the latest version of Qt Creator) or is the a setting that has bumped to "Compile using something-or-other mode" etc (as packages like this often tend to have?
A hint, anyone?
Regards,
Uberlinc.

Okay, so edit: I scrubbed all versions and simply re-copied the plain, original code from the Qt5 files and it did not light up all the errors as it did (possibly a typo somewhere critical which upset the whole thing) but it is still giving a warning:
"zero as null-pointer constant" after line stating:
FindDialog(QWidget *parent = 0);
Is this valid and why would there be a warning?
Many thanks,
Uberlinc.

C++11 introduced a nullptr keyword that should be used for, well, null pointers. 0 will still work but the warning is there to suggest you modernize. The example is simply pre C++11 code so it will give you that warning with newer compiler. You can ignore it or change it to
FindDialog(QWidget *parent = nullptr);It will work the same either way.
