KDToolBox

KDAB's collection of miscellaneous useful C++ classes and stuff.

Tools List

Generic Tools

C++ Tools

  • future-backports Backports of future C++ library components to C++11:
    • k20::erase/k20::erase_if - C++20's uniform container erasure
  • DuplicateTracker A helper class to keep track of "seen" elements, e.g. to avoid processing duplicate elements in a collection. It transparently uses std::pmr::monotonic_buffer_resource to improve its memory usage (compared to a 'plain' set implementation).
  • toContainer Helper functions to convert a container to another container, using a convenient pipeline style.
  • propagate_const A backport of propagate_const from the C++ Extensions for Library Fundamentals version 3.

Qt Tools

  • Ui Watchdog A header-only tool to break the program when the main-thread event loop is blocked for more than 300ms.
  • Qml Stacktrace Helper A function for retrieving a QML backtrace with gdb.
  • Qml PropertySelector A QML Item to easily set property values based on a combination of conditions
  • Model/View ModelIterator A set of (template) classes to allow iteratating over QAbstractItemModels using std algorithms
  • Model/View SortProxyModel A QSortFilterProxyModel replacement that just does sorting, but properly signals moves due to sorts.
  • Model/View UpdateableModel A template class to make defining a model that sends proper update signals easy
  • Model/View Table to List Proxy A proxy model flattening a table model into a list model (mainly for Qt Quick 2).
  • Functional Sort/Filter Proxy A QSortFilterProxyModel convenience subclass that allows to set filtering/sorting functions, removing the need for subclassing.
  • TabWindow widget A tab widget that allows extracting a tab to a new window, like modern web browsers.
  • EventFilter A way for "connecting" a QEvent to lambda with two lines of code.
  • MessageHandler An API to help you intercept the output going through qDebug()/qWarning()/etc.
  • QStringTokenizer A universal, safe, zero-allocation string splitter.
  • Signal/Slot Connection Throttlers An implementation of throttler/debouncer classes for signal/slot connections.
  • Single Shot Connect A header only version of QObject::connect, that establishes a single shot connection.
  • Qt Hasher A header-only hasher object for using Qt types together with unordered_map, unordered_set, etc.
  • NotifyGuard A RAII guard object to make sure object notification signals are properly emitted.
  • asan_assert_fail_qt Intercept Q_ASSERT failures with ASAN and print a backtrace.
  • KDSqlDatabaseTransaction A RAII wrapper for database transactions when using the Qt SQL APIs.
  • pointer_cast Tools to ease migrating from QSharedPointer to std::shared_ptr.
  • qt_fmt Convenience for printing Qt classes through libfmt.
  • cmake-project A replacement for qmake -project, generating a ready-to-use CMakeLists.txt.
  • includemocs A script to add inclusion of moc files to all .cpp files in the project.
  • qt6_natvis Natvis file for Qt6 debugging with Visual Studio and VS Code, with a test project.
  • KDStlContainerAdaptor Classes to ease the transition from Qt containers to the C++ Standard Library containers.
