QT5 Radio button signal not compatible with function, even though it should be

问题

According to the QT5 docs, the QRadioButton inherits the 4 signals from QAbstractButton, which includes the clicked signal. The template for it is clicked(bool checked = false) so I'm confused why this code returns a long error message, part of which is error: static assertion failed: Signal and slot arguments are not compatible.

Code (Simplified, may contain mistakes that are not part of the original):

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QRadioButton>

#include <iostream>

class front_end : public QWidget
{
  Q_OBJECT

public:
  void load()
  {
    auto *rbtn_0 = new QRadioButton(tr("Reference"), this);
    rbtn_0->setChecked(true);

    QObject::connect(rbtn_0, &QRadioButton::clicked, this, SLOT(rbtn_toggle(bool)));
  }

public slots:
  void rbtn_toggle(bool arg_0)
  {
    std::cout << "Toggle\n";
  }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  QApplication app(argc, argv);

  front_end FrontEnd;
  FrontEnd.load();

  return app.exec();
}

Compiled with:

qmake -project -norecursive -Wall -Wparser -o main.pro;
echo "QT += widgets" >> main.pro;
echo "CONFIG += c++11" >> main.pro;

qmake -norecursive main.pro;
make;

Edit:

Yes, I know changing the signal syntax to the QT4 standard "SIGNAL(clicked(bool))" would fix it, but I'm trying to get away from that syntax, and more importantly, understand the problem.

回答1:

You're mixing the old syntax and the new. Pick one per call to connect/disconnect. For overloaded signals/slots you'll need to cast the function pointer to the proper type in case of the new syntax

回答2:

I searched on stackoverflow for this type of problem, but didn't find anything, until Silicomancer pointed me to quite an excellent post - Part/Rule 5.

After reading this, the solution was simple:

QObject::connect(rbtn_0, &QRadioButton::clicked, this, &front_end::rbtn_toggle);
