Simple tutorial for safe-usage QFlags

Overview

First of all we should write about macro

Q_FLAGS

This macro registers one or several flags types to the meta-object system

The

Q_DECLARE_OPERATORS_FOR_FLAGS()

macro declares global

operator|()

functions for Flags, which is of type

QFlags&lt;T&gt;

. The

Q_DECLARE_FLAGS()

macro does not expose the flags to the meta-object system, so they cannot be used by Qt Script. To make the flags available for these purpose, the

Q_FLAGS()

macro must be used.

testFlag(flag)

method checks if flag is set in

QFlags

.
