Best practice for workaround moc's inability to handle ifdef?

[Vadi2]

I have the following code:

public slots:
#if !defined(Q_OS_MACOS)
    void installOrRestartClicked(QAbstractButton* button, QString filePath);
#endif

#if !defined(Q_OS_MACOS)
void Updater::installOrRestartClicked(QAbstractButton* button, QString filePath)
{
...

moc on macOS still finds this code and fails the compilation for me:

/Users/travis/build/Mudlet/Mudlet/build/src/moc_updater.cpp:84:21: error: no member named 'installOrRestartClicked' in 'Updater'

        case 1: _t->installOrRestartClicked((*reinterpret_cast< QAbstractButton*(*)>(_a[1])),(*reinterpret_cast< QString(*)>(_a[2]))); break;

                ~~  ^

1 error generated.

very annoying. One way to deal with this is to leave the declaration intact and just do:

void Updater::installOrRestartClicked(QAbstractButton* button, QString filePath)
{
#if !defined(Q_OS_MACOS)
...

How do other people workaround this moc bug?

Hi,

What version of Qt are you using ?

[Vadi2]

The latest, 5.9

Can you try with ifndef ?

Hi, just guessing, but to add to @SGaist, you could also try to insert an extra #include <QtCore/qglobal.h> somewhere at the top of update.h to make sure that moc really sees the that #define Q_OS_MACOS
