How to implement method, that receives object and slot of any given class?

[Amir Afendin]

Inside my class I'd like to implement such method that receives object and slot of any given class and makes connection for that slot. For example:

void Emitter::emitToSlot(receiver, Receiver::slot)
{
    connect(this, &Emitter::signal, receiver, slot);
}

Emitter myEmitter;
Receiver myReceiver;
myEmitter.emitToSlot(&myReceiver, &Receiver::mySlot);

I tried something like this:

template<typename Func2>
void Emitter::emitToSlot(const typename QtPrivate::FunctionPointer<Func2>::Object *receiver, Func2 slot)

but this method only works inside Emitter class for Emitter slots.

Just moved definition in header file and it worked.

Why do you want to do this? It's basically just a wrapper around QObject::connect().

Let's say I have my reasons. Although I understand that it looks strange.

Then you have to reimplement what QObject::connect() does.
