For several very KDE-specific functions +there is no real replacement, but only stub functions that allow +the program to compile and link. + +This stuff is not intended to be used for anything else but KDiff3. +Think of it rather as a big hack, that only has the advantage +that I need not mess up the normal program with many ugly +#ifdef/#endif-clauses. + +Most include files in this directory only include kreplacements.h +where the actual declarations are. The implementions are in +kreplacements.cpp. + +The *.moc-files are dummies. The new KDE-philosophy seems to be +that *.moc-files are directly included into the sources. +The Qt-philosophy still is to generate moc*.cpp files which will +be compiled seperately. With these dummy-moc-files both versions +can be compiled. + + +Joachim +(2003-10-02) |
