QML Profiler - Interpretation of results - Compiling section

[Benjamin07 0]

Dear all,

I would appreciate your help in interpreting QML profiler results on my application. By looking at the results, a lot of time is spent compiling the different qml files (and several times the same qml files).

What is surprising is that I use Qt Quick Compiler.

Some more information on the context :

• The application has been profiled on a release compilation
• Qt Quick Compiler is enabled (through Projects > Build Steps) and seems to work since no qml files are located in the build path
• CONFIG+=qtquickcompiler has been added to the pro file
• All qml files are included in .qrc
• The pro file includes the resources (RESOURCES += ...)
• QQuickView objects in .cpp are setting the source through url : .setSource(QUrl("qrc:/...)
• Qt version 5.11.1, MSVC2017

Several questions:

• Is it normal that so much time is spent on compiling qml files with Qt Quick Compiler enabled ?
• Why are the same files compiled several times (as many times as qml object are instantiated) ?

Thank you for any feedback you could provide...

More information on the problem description:

• A given qml file is compiled as many times as the corresponding C++ object (which uses QML through QQuickView object) is instantiated. I thought it woul be compiled only once ?
