QWeakPointer is superior and preferred.
Remove QMetaObject::addGuard(), QMetaObject::changeGuard(),
QMetaObject::removeGuard(), and QObjectPrivate::clearGuards().
Implement QPointer using QWeakPointer<T> instead. This changes the
behavior of QPointer in 2 ways:
- During destruction of a QWidget. Previously, the destructor of QWidget
would reset all QPointers so that they would return zero when destroying
children. Update tst_QPointer to account for this change.
- When constructing a QSharedPointer to take ownership of an object
after a QPointer is already tracking the object. Previously, the shared
pointer construction would not be affected by the QPointer, but now
that QPointer is implemented using QWeakPoiner, constructing the
QSharedPointer will cause an abort(). Fix tst_QSharedPointer by
removing the use of QPointer in the objectCast() test.
These behavior changes are documented in the QPointer class
documentation and in the changes file.
