Olivier Goffart 583c55b243 New QObject connection syntax
In addition to the old connection syntax, you can now connect using function pointers.

    connect(sender, &Sender::valueChanged,
            receiver, &Receiver::updateValue );

You can connect also to functor or C++11 lambdas

The connections are now type safe (no more problems with namespaces
or typedefs).  Implicit type conversion is also supported.

The new syntax forces us to change the meaning of signal form
protected to public, in order to be able to access the signal's
address everywhere

The way it works is by introducing new overload of QObject::connect
that take function pointer as parametter. Those new overload are template
function, that are implemented inline. The actual implementation is
in QObject::connectImpl which take a QObject::QSlotObject* as parametter
for the slot.  That slot object contains a virtual function which call
the slot which has to be implemented in the header as it depends on the
template parametter.  So the internals of QObjectPrivate::Connection
will store this QObjectSlot* in order to be able to make the call.

Thread on the mailing list:

http://lists.qt.nokia.com/pipermail/qt5-feedback/2011-September/001248.html
(The discussions on the mailing list were about trying to find a
solution that do not need making signals public, but no user friendly
solution was found)

Note: support for QueuedConnection, and the symetric QObject::disconnect is
added in another commit.
Qt::UniqueConnection is not supported yet in the new overload.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on QTestlib. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
