QT calling functions ... How?
 

I looked at the connect function and all it takes is 2 objects and 2 strings. I checked the preprocessed output and each function is identified with 1 or 2 at the start of the string of the function.

How does QT call these functions only knowing the name of the functions as strings and a pointer to the objects?

I found this interesting because I have a lab todo for school and knowing this and using a similar mechanism I think it will simplify my lab :).

Thank you

Look at their source?

QT code is pre-processed with moc before it is compiled.

If I remember correctly it has a kind of dictionary. Remember that all signals and slots are marked.
