It is designed to automate the most tedious part of the + porting effort. + + See \l{Porting to Qt 4} and \l{Porting .ui Files to Qt 4} for + more information about porting Qt 3 applications to Qt 4. + + \section1 Usage + + \c qt3to4 can be run either on individual C++ source or header + files, or on an entire project specified by a \c qmake \c .pro + file: + + \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt3to4.qdoc 0 + + In project mode, \c qt3to4 reads the \c .pro file and converts + all files specified in it. The tool modifies the files in place. + You might want to make a copy of your project before you run the + tool. + + \section1 Porting Rules + + The Qt porting tool loads its porting rules from an XML file + called \c q3porting.xml located in Qt's \c tools/porting/src directory. + By editing this file, you can add your own rules or remove some + rules. + + The standard \c q3porting.xml file specifies the following + conversions: + + \list + \o Rename classes that are now part of the Qt 3 support + library (e.g., replace \c QFileDialog with \c{Q3FileDialog}). + \o Prefix or rename enum values that have been moved or + renamed (e.g., replace \c QButton::On with \c{QCheckBox::On}) or + members of the Qt namespace (e.g., replace \c QWidget::red with + \c{Qt::red}). + \o Add \c #include directives that might be needed in Qt 4. + \endlist + + \section2 Location of the qt3porting.xml File + + You can now specify the location of the \c qt3porting.xml file with the + \c{-f} command line option. This is useful if you want to use a modified + file with your own rules. + + If you you don't want to maintain a modified \c qt3porting.xml it is + possible to create a "patch" file that includes the original file and adds + or disables rules. The syntax for this file looks like this: + + \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt3to4.qdoc 1 + + \section1 Logging + + The porting tool logs all changes to a file called \c + portinglog.txt in the current directory. This file lists all + changes made to the source files. + + \section1 Advanced Usage + + When porting, \c qt3to4 parses the source files and ports the + contents according to the C++ language rules. This C++ parsing + step can be disabled with the \c -disableCppParsing option. + + If C++ parsing is enabled, \c qt3to4 must be able to locate the + headers included from the source files. Necessary headers include + the public Qt headers and any headers that declares names that + may conflict with names in the public Qt headers. The standard + C++ headers and system headers are usually not needed. + + You can tell \c qt3to4 where to look for headers by using the + \c{-I} command-line option. Qt 3.3 header information is built + in, so it is normaly not necessary to specify the location of the + Qt headers. If you are porting from a different version of Qt 3, + you may want to disable the built-in headers with + \c{-disableBuiltInQt3Headers}, and then add the path to the + actual headers with the \c{-I} option. + + When porting a project, \c qt3to4 will read the \c INCLUDEPATH + and \c DEPENDPATH variables from the \c .pro file and add the + paths specified here to the list of include search directories. + + To see which headers that are not found, use the \c{-missingFileWarnings} + option. + + \section1 Limitations + + In some cases, you might get compiler errors because of identifiers + in the global namespace (e.g., \c CTRL). Adding + + \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt3to4.qdoc 2 + + at the beginning of the source file that contains + the indentifier solves the problem. + + \section1 Legal Notices + + Some source code in \c qt3to4 is licensed under specific highly + permissive licenses from the original authors.
