- This article is not the right place to describe the low-level
mechanisms of moc and qmake, or to discuss QMetaObject features that
are unrelated to signals and slots.
- Most users never need to run moc directly.
- The current content only mentions qmake for moc automation, but CMake,
QBS, and the Visual Studio Add-In can also do that.
In light of the above 3 points, let's simply link to the "Meta-Object
System" article for those who are interested in the behind-the-scenes
details.
Most of the content deleted by this patch are already discussed in
detail in the articles "The Meta-Object System" and "Using the Meta-
Object Compiler (moc)" (the former links to the latter). The exception
is Snippet 5 -- this is deleted without replacement because
qobject_cast() is a much safer alternative to QMetaObject::inherits()
with static_cast(), so we should encourage the former.
