In Qt 5 times, if Qt was configured with -make examples, running
make install would not only build and install the example binaries,
but would also install the example sources into the prefix.
Installation of example sources was not implemented when the Qt 6
build system has switched to using CMake.
There is still a use case for it though, mainly for Qt Creator, which
only shows the examples of a Qt kit if the sources are available.
In contrast to Qt 5, in Qt 6 we will not install example sources
by default. It will be opt in.
To enable installation of examples sources, configure with
configure -make examples -install-examples-sources
or
cmake -DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -DQT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES_SOURCES=ON
The -make examples part is required, otherwise
-install-examples-sources has no effect.
All example sources can be installed by calling
cmake --install . --component examples_sources
in the qt repo build directory.
In a top-level build, per-repo installation can be done using
cmake --install . --component examples_sources_<repo_name>
where repo_name could be 'qtbase'.
A single example's source can be installed by calling
cmake --install . --component examples_sources_<subdir_name>
where subdir_name is the subdirectory name of the example, e.g.
'gallery'.
Implement installation of example sources by hooking into the
qt_internal_add_example command.
This means that all examples in all repos need to be added via
qt_internal_add_example instead of add_subdirectory, to ensure the
sources are installed. The majority of repos already use it.
For testing purposes one can configure with
-DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES=ON -DQT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES_SOURCES=ON
-DQT_INTERNAL_NO_CONFIGURE_EXAMPLES=ON to allow testing installation
of examples sources without building them.
Take into account an additional variable called
QT_INTERNAL_EXAMPLES_SOURCES_INSTALL_PREFIX to allow installation of
example sources into a location different from the example binaries.
As a cleanup, the NAME option that could previously be passed to
qt_internal_add_example_external_project has been removed.
That's because it's never used anywhere and could not have worked
anyway because qt_internal_add_example_in_tree never handled it.

Introduce a new -no-prefix option that can be used to build Qt without
having to install it.
Currently, -no-prefix is already implied by -developer-build, but
-developer-build also implies -warnings-are-errors and
-feature-private-tests, which not everyone might want to use.
Some Qt builders likely use -developer-build for the no-prefix
behavior, hence we introduce a standalone -no-prefix option to offer
a nicer user experience without -Werror and friends.
Previously it was possible to achieve the same by specifying
-prefix $PWD, but that relies on $PWD expanding property in the used
shell.
The new -no-prefix doesn't depend on the type of the shell and
is shorter to type.
Internally this gets passed by configure as -DINPUT_no_prefix=yes to
CMake, and transformed into a -DQT_FEATURE_no_prefix=ON feature.
The feature also gets automatically auto-detected to ON if
developer-build is set, -prefix is either unset or $PWD.
CMake code should still query QT_WILL_INSTALL to decide whether
files need to be installed or not.
As a drive-by, we now also export QT_FEATURE_developer_build to
be available for querying during configuration of other repos
(previously it was only possible to query FEATURE_developer_build).

Ensure that Qt user projects build with sanitizer flags if Qt was

To compile Qt with sanitizer support enable any of Qt sanitizer
features.
Passing -DECM_ENABLE_SANITIZERS=address to CMake is NOT supported
anymore.
When configuring Qt using CMake directly, pass

-DFEATURE_sanitizer_undefined=ON
instead of
-DECM_ENABLE_SANITIZERS=address;undefined
When configuring Qt with the configure script pass
-sanitize address -sanitize undefined
as usual.
QtConfig.cmake now records the sanitizer options that should be
enabled for all consuming projects based on the enabled Qt features.
This applies to internal Qt builds as well as well as tests an
examples.
The recorded sanitizer options are assigned to the ECM_ENABLE_SANITIZERS
variable in the directory scope where find_package(Qt6) is called.
The ECMEnableSanitizers module is included to add the necessary flags to
all targets in that directory scope or its children.
This behavior can be opted out by setting the
QT_NO_ADD_SANITIZER_OPTIONS variable in projects that use Qt and might
be handling sanitizer options differently.
