When a ObjC++ QObject subclass is listed in the regular HEADERS, qmake
creates a .cpp file. The moc file will then fail to compile, as it
requries ObjC++ headers. Using Q_FORWARD_DECLARE_OBJC_CLASS() can be
used to let the class be parsed by The compiler, but link will still
fail, as the generated methods (e.g. signals) must be built with ObjC++
compiler, in case they have ObjC parameters:
Q_FORWARD_DECLARE_OBJC_CLASS(NSString);
class MyClass: public QObject {
Q_OBJECT
signals:
void objcSignal(NSString * myObj);
};
The canonical workaround for that is including the .cpp file into the
corresponding .mm file. This also offers a compilation speed advantage,
but is somewhat counter-intuitive.
Therefore, we introduce a separate variable which instructs moc to create
.mm files directly.
