can a slot be a global func?
i want to write a timer and its slot...
the slot should be a global func in main.cpp...
how can i write the connect?
thank you

Slot should be a method inside a class that is derived from QObject. It can be global, I think.

And with the new connection syntax in Qt 5, you can use any method (including a lambda function) as a slot: just pass the functor there.

@sierdzio It can be global, I think.
but how connect to a global func?

Let's see if that works:

void myFunc() { qDebug() << "Aha!"; }
int main ()
{
    MyClass a;
    QObject::connect(&a, &MyClass::someSignal, &myFunc); // or just myFunc
    // ...
}
