C++20 via P1120 is deprecating arithmetic operations between
unrelated enumeration types, and GCC 10 is already complaining.
Hence, these operations might become illegal in C++23 or C++26 at
the latest.
A case of this that affects Qt is in key combinations: a
QKeySequence can be constructed by summing / ORing modifiers and a
key, for instance:
Qt::CTRL + Qt::Key_A
Qt::SHIFT | Qt::CTRL | Qt::Key_G (recommended, see below)
The problem is that the modifiers and the key belong to different
enumerations (and there's 2 enumerations for the modifier, and one
for the key).
To solve this: add a dedicated class to represent a combination of
keys, and operators between those enumerations to build instances
of this class.
I would've simply defined operator|, but again docs and pre-existing
code use operator+ as well, so added both to at least tackle simple
cases (modifier + key).
Multiple modifiers create a problem: operator+ between them yields
int, not the corresponding flags type (because operator+ is not
overloaded for this use case):
Qt::CTRL + Qt::SHIFT + Qt::Key_A
\__________________/ /
int /
\______________/
int
Not only this loses track of the datatypes involved, but it would
also then "add" the key (with NO warnings, now its int + enum, so
it's not mixing enums!) and yielding int again.
I don't want to special-case this; the point of the class is
that int is the wrong datatype. Everything works just fine when
using operator| instead:
Qt::CTRL | Qt::SHIFT | Qt::Key_A
\__________________/ /
Qt::Modifiers /
\______________/
QKeyCombination
So I'm defining operator+ so that the simple cases still work,
but also deprecating it.
Port some code around Qt to the new class. In certain cases,
it's a huge win for clarity. In some others, I've just added
the necessary casts to make it still compile without warnings,
without attempting refactorings.
[ChangeLog][QtCore][QKeyCombination] New class to represent
a combination of a key and zero or more modifiers, to be used
when defining shortcuts or similar.
[ChangeLog][Potentially Source-Incompatible Changes] A keyboard
modifier (such as Qt::CTRL, Qt::AltModifier, etc.) should be
combined with a key (such as Qt::Key_A, Qt::Key_F1, etc.) by using
operator|, not operator+. The result is now an object of type
QKeyCombination, that stores the key and the modifiers.
