Function Documentation

QString GammaRay::Util::addressToString ( const void *  p)

Returns a string version (as a hex number starting with "0x") of the memory address p.

Parameters
pis a pointer to an address in memory.
Returns
a QString containing the human readable address string.
bool GammaRay::Util::descendantOf ( const QObject ascendant,
const QObject object 
)

Determines if the QObject obj is a descendant of the QObject ascendant.

Parameters
ascendantis a pointer to a QObject.
objectis a pointer to a QObject.
Returns
true if obj is a descendant of ascendant; false otherwise.
QString GammaRay::Util::displayString ( const QObject object)

Returns a human readable string name of the specified QObject.

This does include the type name.

Parameters
objectis a pointer to a valid or null QObject.
Returns
a QString containing the human readable display string.
void GammaRay::Util::drawTransparencyPattern ( QPainter painter,
const QRect rect,
int  squareSize = 8 
)

Draws a transparency pattern, i.e.

the common checkerboard pattern into rect.

Parameters
painterThe QPainter to draw with.
rectThe area to draw into.
squareSizeThe size of the individual checkerboard squares.
GAMMARAY_CORE_DEPRECATED_EXPORT QString GammaRay::Util::enumToString ( const QVariant value,
const char *  typeName,
const QObject object 
)

Translates an enum or flag value into a human readable text.

Parameters
valueThe numerical value. Type information from the QVariant are used to find the corresponding QMetaEnum.
typeNameUse this if the value has type int (e.g. the case for QMetaProperty::read).
objectAdditional QObject to search for QMetaEnums.
Returns
a QString containing the string version of the specified value.
Deprecated:
Use EnumUtils::enumToString.
template<typename T >
T* GammaRay::Util::findParentOfType ( QObject object)

Finds the parent QObject of the specified type T, if such exists.

Parameters
objectis a pointer to a QObject.
Returns
zero on failure; else a pointer to a data type T.
int GammaRay::Util::iconIdForObject ( const QObject object)

Returns a class icon id for the given object.

In normal operation a positive integer is returned containing the icon most closely associated with the data type pointed to by object

Parameters
objectis a pointer to a QObject.
Returns
on failure -1 is returned; else a positive integer.
bool GammaRay::Util::isNullish ( void *  ptr)
inline

Checks if the given pointer should be considered a nullptr.

One would assume this to be trivial, but there are some interesting hacks in for example the QSG software renderer that use near-null values to not trigger normal nullptr checkes but are still effectively null as far as we are concerned (as in: we will crash for sure when dereferencing them).

QString GammaRay::Util::prettyMethodSignature ( const QMetaMethod method)

Returns a display string for method.

This includes return types and argument names, if available.

QString GammaRay::Util::shortDisplayString ( const QObject object)

Short display string for a QObject, either the object name or the address.

This does not include the type name.

Parameters
objectvalid or 0 QObject
int GammaRay::Util::signalIndexToMethodIndex ( const QMetaObject metaObject,
int  signalIndex 
)

Turns a signal index into a method index.

Signals indexes are used internally by QObject as an optimization and are usually not exposed in public API. If you get them nevertheless, by using internals of QObject this method turns them into method indexes that work with public QMetaObject API.

Parameters
metaObjectThe meta object the signal belongs so
signalIndexThe signal index to convert.
Since
2.2
QString GammaRay::Util::tooltipForObject ( const QObject object)

Returns a suitable rich text tooltip string for object.

Parameters
objecta pointer to a valid or null QObject.
