Too much of the existing code in Qt requires eager evaluation without
large scale modifications. Combined with the fact that supporting both
eager and lazy evaluation has a high maintenance burden, keeping lazy
evaluation, at least in its current state, is not worth it.
This does not diminish other benefits of the new property system, which
include
- a C++ API to setup and modify bindings and
- faster execution compared to QML's existing bindings and the ability
to use them without having a QML engine.
We do no longer benefit from doing less work thanks to laziness. A later
commit will introduce grouping support to recapture some of this
benefit.
[ChangeLog][Import Behavior Change][QProperty] QProperty uses always
eager evaluation now when a dependency in a binding changes.
