    \class QMetaObject
    \inmodule QtCore

    \brief The QMetaObject class contains meta-information about Qt
    objects.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    The Qt \l{Meta-Object System} in Qt is responsible for the
    signals and slots inter-object communication mechanism, runtime
    type information, and the Qt property system. A single
    QMetaObject instance is created for each QObject subclass that is
    used in an application, and this instance stores all the
    meta-information for the QObject subclass. This object is
    available as QObject::metaObject().

    This class is not normally required for application programming,
    but it is useful if you write meta-applications, such as scripting
    engines or GUI builders.

    The functions you are most likely to find useful are these:
    \list
    \li className() returns the name of a class.
    \li superClass() returns the superclass's meta-object.
    \li method() and methodCount() provide information
       about a class's meta-methods (signals, slots and other
       \l{Q_INVOKABLE}{invokable} member functions).
    \li enumerator() and enumeratorCount() and provide information about
       a class's enumerators.
    \li propertyCount() and property() provide information about a
       class's properties.
    \li constructor() and constructorCount() provide information
       about a class's meta-constructors.
    \endlist

    The index functions indexOfConstructor(), indexOfMethod(),
    indexOfEnumerator(), and indexOfProperty() map names of constructors,
    member functions, enumerators, or properties to indexes in the
    meta-object. For example, Qt uses indexOfMethod() internally when you
    connect a signal to a slot.

    Classes can also have a list of \e{name}--\e{value} pairs of
    additional class information, stored in QMetaClassInfo objects.
    The number of pairs is returned by classInfoCount(), single pairs
    are returned by classInfo(), and you can search for pairs with
    indexOfClassInfo().

    \note Operations that use the meta object system are generally thread-
    safe, as QMetaObjects are typically static read-only instances
    generated at compile time. However, if meta objects are dynamically
    modified by the application (for instance, when using QQmlPropertyMap),
    then the application has to explicitly synchronize access to the
    respective meta object.

    Invokes the \a member (a signal or a slot name) on the object \a
    obj. Returns \c true if the member could be invoked. Returns \c false
    if there is no such member or the parameters did not match.

    For the overloads with a QTemplatedMetaMethodReturnArgument parameter, the
    return value of the \a member function call is placed in \a ret. For the
    overloads without such a member, the return value of the called function
    (if any) will be discarded. QTemplatedMetaMethodReturnArgument is an
    internal type you should not use directly. Instead, use the qReturnArg()
    function.

    The overloads with a Qt::ConnectionType \a type parameter allow explicitly
    selecting whether the invocation will be synchronous or not:

    \list
    \li If \a type is Qt::DirectConnection, the member will be invoked immediately
       in the current thread.

    \li If \a type is Qt::QueuedConnection, a QEvent will be sent and the
       member is invoked as soon as the application enters the event loop in the
       thread that the \a obj was created in or was moved to.

    \li If \a type is Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection, the method will be invoked in
       the same way as for Qt::QueuedConnection, except that the current thread
       will block until the event is delivered. Using this connection type to
       communicate between objects in the same thread will lead to deadlocks.

    \li If \a type is Qt::AutoConnection, the member is invoked synchronously
        if \a obj lives in the same thread as the caller; otherwise it will invoke
        the member asynchronously. This is the behavior of the overloads that do
        not have the \a type parameter.
    \endlist

    You only need to pass the name of the signal or slot to this function,
    not the entire signature. For example, to asynchronously invoke
    the \l{QThread::quit()}{quit()} slot on a
    QThread, use the following code:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 2

    With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be copyable
    types, because Qt needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event
    behind the scenes. Since Qt 6.5, this function automatically registers the
    types being used; however, as a side-effect, it is not possible to make
    calls using types that are only forward-declared. Additionally, it is not
    possible to make asynchronous calls that use references to
    non-const-qualified types as parameters either.

    To synchronously invoke the \c compute(QString, int, double) slot on
    some arbitrary object \c obj retrieve its return value:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp invokemethod-no-macro

    If the "compute" slot does not take exactly one \l QString, one \c int, and
    one \c double in the specified order, the call will fail. Note how it was
    necessary to be explicit about the type of the QString, as the character
    literal is not exactly the right type to match. If the method instead took
    a \l QStringView, a \l qsizetype, and a \c float, the call would need to be
    written as:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp invokemethod-no-macro-other-types

    The same call can be executed using the Q_ARG() and Q_RETURN_ARG() macros,
    as in:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 4

    The macros are kept for compatibility with Qt 6.4 and earlier versions, and
    can be freely mixed with parameters that do not use the macro. They may be
    necessary in rare situations when calling a method that used a typedef to
    forward-declared type as a parameter or the return type.

    See the variadic invokeMethod() function for more information. This

    Invokes this method on the object \a object. Returns \c true if the member could be invoked.
    Returns \c false if there is no such member or the parameters did not match.

    For the overloads with a QTemplatedMetaMethodReturnArgument parameter, the
    return value of the \a member function call is placed in \a ret. For the
    overloads without such a member, the return value of the called function
    (if any) will be discarded. QTemplatedMetaMethodReturnArgument is an
    internal type you should not use directly. Instead, use the qReturnArg()
    function.

    The overloads with a Qt::ConnectionType \a type parameter allow explicitly
    selecting whether the invocation will be synchronous or not:

    \list
    \li If \a type is Qt::DirectConnection, the member will be invoked immediately
       in the current thread.

    \li If \a type is Qt::QueuedConnection, a QEvent will be sent and the
       member is invoked as soon as the application enters the event loop in the
       thread the \a obj was created in or was moved to.

    \li If \a type is Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection, the method will be invoked in
       the same way as for Qt::QueuedConnection, except that the current thread
       will block until the event is delivered. Using this connection type to
       communicate between objects in the same thread will lead to deadlocks.

    \li If \a type is Qt::AutoConnection, the member is invoked synchronously
        if \a obj lives in the same thread as the caller; otherwise it will invoke
        the member asynchronously. This is the behavior of the overloads that do
        not have the \a type parameter.

    With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be copyable
    types, because Qt needs to copy the arguments to store them in an event
    behind the scenes. Since Qt 6.5, this function automatically registers the
    types being used; however, as a side-effect, it is not possible to make
    calls using types that are only forward-declared. Additionally, it is not
    possible to make asynchronous calls that use references to
    non-const-qualified types as parameters either.

    To synchronously invoke the \c compute(QString, int, double) slot on
    some arbitrary object \c obj retrieve its return value:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp invoke-no-macro

    If the "compute" slot does not take exactly one \l QString, one \c int, and
    one \c double in the specified order, the call will fail. Note how it was
    necessary to be explicit about the type of the QString, as the character
    literal is not exactly the right type to match. If the method instead took
    a \l QByteArray, a \l qint64, and a \c{long double}, the call would need to be
    written as:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp invoke-no-macro-other-types

    The same call can be executed using the Q_ARG() and Q_RETURN_ARG() macros,
    as in:

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 8

    \warning this method will not test the validity of the arguments: \a object
    must be an instance of the class of the QMetaObject of which this QMetaMethod
    has been constructed with.

/*!
    \obsolete [6.5] Please use the variadic overload of this function

    Invokes this method on the object \a object. Returns \c true if the member could be invoked.
    Returns \c false if there is no such member or the parameters did not match.

    See the variadic invokeMethod() function for more information. This
    function should behave the same way as that one, with the following
    limitations:

    \list
    \li The number of parameters is limited to 10.
    \li Parameter names may need to be an exact string match.
    \li Meta types are not automatically registered.
    \endlist

    With asynchronous method invocations, the parameters must be of
    types that are known to Qt's meta-object system, because Qt needs
    to copy the arguments to store them in an event behind the
    scenes. If you try to use a queued connection and get the error
    message

    \snippet code/src_corelib_kernel_qmetaobject.cpp 7

    call qRegisterMetaType() to register the data type before you
    call QMetaMethod::invoke().

    \warning In addition to the limitations of the variadic invoke() overload,
    the arguments must have the same type as the ones expected by the method,
    else, the behavior is undefined.

    \class QMetaEnum

    \brief The QMetaEnum class provides meta-data about an enumerator.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    Use name() for the enumerator's name. The enumerator's keys (names
    of each enumerated item) are returned by key(); use keyCount() to find
    the number of keys. isFlag() returns whether the enumerator is
    meant to be used as a flag, meaning that its values can be combined
    using the OR operator.

    The conversion functions keyToValue(), valueToKey(), keysToValue(),
    and valueToKeys() allow conversion between the integer
    representation of an enumeration or set value and its literal
    representation. The scope() function returns the class scope this
    enumerator was declared in.

    \ingroup objectmodel

    Property meta-data is obtained from an object's meta-object. See
    QMetaObject::property() and QMetaObject::propertyCount() for
    details.

    \section1 Property Meta-Data

    A property has a name() and a metaType(), as well as various
    attributes that specify its behavior: isReadable(), isWritable(),
    isDesignable(), isScriptable(), revision(), and isStored().

    If the property is an enumeration, isEnumType() returns \c true; if the
    property is an enumeration that is also a flag (i.e. its values
    can be combined using the OR operator), isEnumType() and
    isFlagType() both return true. The enumerator for these types is
    available from enumerator().

    The property's values are set and retrieved with read(), write(),
    and reset(); they can also be changed through QObject's set and get
    functions. See QObject::setProperty() and QObject::property() for
    details.

    \section1 Copying and Assignment
