c++ - QMetaMethods for regular methods missing? -

i'm new in qt, , i'm testing out moc. given class:

class counter : public qobject {  q_object  int m_value; public:  counter() {m_value = 0;}  ~counter() {}  int value() {return m_value;} public slots:  void setvalue(int value); signals:  void valuechanged(int newvalue); }; 

i want list of methods in class, seem getting list of signals , slots, although documentation says should methods? here's code:

#include <qcoreapplication> #include <qobject> #include <qmetamethod> #include <iostream>  using std::cout; using std::endl;  int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {  qcoreapplication app(argc, argv);   const qmetaobject cntmo = counter::staticmetaobject;  for(int = 0; != cntmo.methodcount(); ++i)  {   qmetamethod qmm(cntmo.method(i));   cout << qmm.signature() << endl;  }   return app.exec(); } 

please beware best c/p, perhaps forgot include headers.

my output:

destroyed(qobject*) destroyed() deletelater() _q_reregistertimers(void*) valuechanged(int) setvalue(int) 

does know why happening? qt not recognise

int value() {return m_value;} 

as valid method? if so, there macro i've forgotten or that?

p.s. i'm using 4.6.2

update

i forgot implementation of setvalue method, not makes difference actual question.

void counter::setvalue(int value) {     if(value != m_value)     {         m_value = value;         emit valuechanged(value);     } } 

as far remember can't access methods of qobject subclass through qmetaobject provides access signals, slots , invocable methods:

class myclass: public qobject {     q_object     public:         q_invocable int somemethod(const qstring &someparam); }; 

maybe it's provide access q_property getters , setters. read articles qt object model , meta object system more carefully.

quotation qmetaobject class description (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qmetaobject.html#details):

"method() , methodcount() provide information class's meta-methods (signals, slots , other invokable member functions)."

there no information normal c++ methods access. , it's since reflective techniques slow.
