Q_GLOBAL_STATIC safe to use?
Message 1 in thread
HI, I just discovered to Q_GLOBAL_STATIC macro in one of the TT
examples. Looks interesting. Unfortunately the assistant contains
absolutely no documentation about it. Does this mean 'keep off,
internal use only'?

Yes, its internal. If you look into the src/corelib/global/qglobal.cpp in the
4.3 snapshots you will notice that it has gained some documentation and has been
marked as internal.

Like various "internal" things in Qt, there's nothing stopping you
from using it, but we don't guarantee that it will always be there
or that it won't be changed behind your back.
That's why the documentation for it (see qglobal.cpp) is marked as
internal.
