<p>Hi,</p>
<p>As you all know, Qt is heavily used by QGIS. Qt has some
non-standard C++ concepts like signals and slots. These are very
powerful but also bear some risks when not used properly. And it's
not always easy to see what "properly" means.</p>
<p>Thanks to the folks at KDE, there is a tool named <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/KDE/clazy#clazy-v17">clazy</a>, that
can detect many of these risks at compile time. We have recently
corrected a number of issues reported by clazy, which will result
in an increased stability of QGIS.</p>
<p>We have also integrated clazy on our CI infrastructure (travis)
which will help the stability of QGIS in the long run by
disallowing risky code to enter the QGIS codebase.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
<p><br>
