Qt 帮助文档的解释:
Returns the given object cast to type T if the object is of type T (or of a subclass); otherwise returns nullptr. If object is nullptr then it will also return nullptr.
The class T must inherit (directly or indirectly) QObject and be declared with the Q_OBJECT macro.
A class is considered to inherit itself.
The qobject_cast() function behaves similarly to the standard C++ dynamic_cast(), with the advantages that it doesn't require RTTI support and it works across dynamic library boundaries.

  • 简单来说 就是使用这个函数会得到你转型的的一个实例,但是这个类必须继承自QObject 或者其子类并且声明Q_OBJECT 这个宏
  • QT 帮助文档中一个Example
    QObject *obj = new QTimer; 
    QTimer *timer = qobject_cast<QTimer *>(obj);
    

    这里顺便记录一下RTTI 与RAII,RAII 通常应用于对象资源管理,RTTI 可以动态判断对象类型,但使用RTTI会增加程序运行时间,这里简单记录区分一下 。

  • RTTI : Run-time type information
    #include <iostream>
    #include <typeinfo>
    class Base {
    public:
        virtual ~Base() = default;
    class Derived : public Base {};
    int main() {
        Base base;
        Derived derived;
        Base* ptr = &derived;
        Base& ref = derived;
        std::cout << typeid(base).name()<< std::endl;  // class Base 
        std::cout << typeid(derived).name()<< std::endl;  // class Derived
        std::cout << typeid(ptr).name()<< std::endl;  // class Base *
        std::cout << typeid(*ptr).name() << std::endl;  //class Derived           
        std::cout << typeid(ref).name() << std::endl;  //class Derived
    
  • RAII : Resource Acquisition Is Initialization
    代码来源 https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/raii
    std::mutex m;
    void bad() 
        m.lock();                    // acquire the mutex
        f();                         // if f() throws an exception, the mutex is never released
        if(!everything_ok()) return; // early return, the mutex is never released
        m.unlock();                  // if bad() reaches this statement, the mutex is released
    void good()
        std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lk(m); // RAII class: mutex acquisition is initialization
        f();                               // if f() throws an exception, the mutex is released
        if(!everything_ok()) return;       // early return, the mutex is released
    

    下面是QT通过qobject_cast获取信号发送对象的一个Demo,通过Qt Desinger 绘制两个按钮和一个文本框,将两个按钮的点击事件连接到同一个槽函数,在槽函数里面判断信号的发送者并作出不同的响应
    主要的代码如下:

    #ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
    #define MAINWINDOW_H
    #include <QMainWindow>
    QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
    namespace Ui { class MainWindow; }
    QT_END_NAMESPACE
    class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
        Q_OBJECT
    public:
        MainWindow(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
        ~MainWindow();
    public slots:
        void onButtonClicked();
    private:
        Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    #endif // MAINWINDOW_H
    #include "mainwindow.h"
    #include "ui_mainwindow.h"
    #include<QDebug>
    MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
        : QMainWindow(parent)
        , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
        ui->setupUi(this);
        connect(ui->leftButton,&QPushButton::clicked,this,&MainWindow::onButtonClicked);
        connect(ui->rightButton,&QPushButton::clicked,this,&MainWindow::onButtonClicked);
    MainWindow::~MainWindow()
        delete ui;
    void MainWindow::onButtonClicked()
        QPushButton *button =  qobject_cast<QPushButton *>(sender());
        ui->textLabel->setText(button->text());
        if(ui->leftButton == button)
            qDebug()<<"left Button clicked";
            ui->textLabel->setStyleSheet("background-color:yellow");
            button->setStyleSheet("background-color:yellow");
            ui->textLabel->setStyleSheet("background-color:green");
            button->setStyleSheet("background-color:green");
