    \title qt3to4 - The Qt 3 to 4 Porting Tool

    \ingroup porting

    \keyword qt3to4

    The \c qt3to4 tool provides help when moving a project from Qt 3

    to Qt 4. It is designed to automate the most tedious part of the

    porting effort.

    See \l{Porting to Qt 4} and \l{Porting UI Files to Qt 4} for

    more information about porting Qt 3 applications to Qt 4.

    \section1 Usage

    \c qt3to4 can be run either on individual C++ source or header

    files, or on an entire project specified by a \c qmake \c .pro

    file:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt3to4.qdoc 0

    In project mode, \c qt3to4 reads the \c .pro file and converts

    all files specified in it. The tool modifies the files in place.

    You might want to make a copy of your project before you run the

    tool.

    \section1 Porting Rules

    The Qt porting tool loads its porting rules from an XML file

    called \c q3porting.xml located in Qt's \c tools/porting/src directory. 

    By editing this file, you can add your own rules or remove some

    rules.

    The standard \c q3porting.xml file specifies the following

    conversions:

    \list

    \o  Rename classes that are now part of the Qt 3 support

        library (e.g., replace \c QFileDialog with \c{Q3FileDialog}).

    \o  Prefix or rename enum values that have been moved or

        renamed (e.g., replace \c QButton::On with \c{QCheckBox::On}) or

        members of the Qt namespace (e.g., replace \c QWidget::red with

        \c{Qt::red}).

    \o  Add \c #include directives that might be needed in Qt 4.

    \endlist

    \section2 Location of the qt3porting.xml File

    You can now specify the location of the \c qt3porting.xml file with the

    \c{-f} command line option. This is useful if you want to use a modified

    file with your own rules. 

    If you you don't want to maintain a modified \c qt3porting.xml it is

    possible to create a "patch" file that includes the original file and adds

    or disables rules. The syntax for this file looks like this:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt3to4.qdoc 1

    \section1 Logging

    The porting tool logs all changes to a file called \c

    portinglog.txt in the current directory. This file lists all

    changes made to the source files.

    \section1 Advanced Usage

    When porting, \c qt3to4 parses the source files and ports the

    contents according to the C++ language rules. This C++ parsing

    step can be disabled with the \c -disableCppParsing option.

    If C++ parsing is enabled, \c qt3to4 must be able to locate the

    headers included from the source files. Necessary headers include

    the public Qt headers and  any headers that declares names that

    may conflict with names in the public Qt headers. The standard

    C++ headers and system headers are usually not needed.

    You can tell \c qt3to4 where to look for headers by using the

    \c{-I} command-line option. Qt 3.3 header information is built

    in, so it is normaly not necessary to specify the location of the

    Qt headers. If you are porting from a different version of Qt 3,

    you may want to disable the built-in headers with

    \c{-disableBuiltInQt3Headers}, and then add the path to the

    actual headers with the \c{-I} option.

    When porting a project, \c qt3to4 will read the \c INCLUDEPATH

    and \c DEPENDPATH variables from the \c .pro file and add the

    paths specified here to the list of include search directories.

    To see which headers that are not found, use the \c{-missingFileWarnings}

    option.

    \section1 Limitations

    In some cases, you might get compiler errors because of identifiers

    in the global namespace (e.g., \c CTRL). Adding

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_qt3to4.qdoc 2

    at the beginning of the source file that contains

    the indentifier solves the problem.
