Technically, having a single constructor limits the use-cases for this
class. We should take into account that:
- an opened socket descriptor must be available at the moment of
construction;
- the constructor unconditionally enables the notifier (the possible
solution
notifier = new QSocketNotifier(...);
notifier->setEnabled(false);
is suboptimal due to heavy operations inside the event dispatcher);
- for these reasons, QSocketNotifier most often cannot be a member of
another class (we have an extra allocation and indirect access).
This patch addresses this shortcoming by making it possible to set the
socket descriptor at a later point:
[ChangeLog][QtCore][QSocketNotifier] Added setSocket() and an additional
constructor which requires no socket.
