moc: Properly handle modules

When moc'ing module interfaces and partitions, we make the generated cpp
file part of the respective module.
We do not support Q_OBJECT & friends in implementation units and private
module fragments, as our generated source file will not have access to
the respective classes, and we certainly do not want to carry over our
file inclusion hacks into the module world.

[ChangeLog][moc] moc now supports C++ modulesmoc: Properly handle modules

Note there is still a lot of work to be done: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/767846 and I can't seem to find the PR where they fixed some qtbase code to make it work with modules. I guess most other qt modules will need some small fixes to work with modules as well.

What if AI could do more than suggest code, and actually drive hardware-in-the-loop test cycles on real systems? This talk looks under the hood of a practical agentic AI workflow for embedded C++ development.

I recently did a big update to my ankerl::unordered_dense::map which now features several optimizations, bug fixes, and most importantly an SSE optimized lookup which brings the lookup speed quite close to the fastest competitor which is boost::unordered_flat_map. Get it here: https://github.com/martinus/unordered_dense

Since it is not easy to decide what map is best for one's usecase, I have redone and improved the benchmarks I did a while ago, crunched some numbers and tried to compress everything into a quiz that helps you figure out what to use.

While doing the numbers, a few things surprised me:

• My random access benchmark was not random enough. The CPU was able to optimize the branch predictor in a way I did not think was possible. I have fixed this for the new numbers. Clever girl.

• Even though the absl maps are very similar in concept to the boost maps, they perform badly if you expect lots of misses. 1.6 times slower than boost.

• I didn't think SSE optimization of my unordered_dense map would be any benefit. Thanks to AI, I found a way to speed up random access a lot, it is now very close to boost::unordered_flat_map.

• Heavy insert & erase on flat maps require rehashing every once in a while due to the accumulation of tombstones. That means some insert/erase operation will have very high latency. This does not happen for a robin-hood hashmap like my unordered_dense map.

It would be nice if there was a single place to see where, for example, the keyword "SFINAE" shows up across the content of all papers, not just titles. Thanks!

I know this is something that pops up quite often, but I was wondering if I could get your guys' opinion on a fixed ordering of qualifiers. This is my current thoughts after recently trying to formalize my personal style:

static -> thread_local -> inline -> constexpr -> friend -> virtual

My reasoning for each:

1. static first. Inside a class, its basically javas static. There is a pretty strong consensus in java for static first. Its very important context, for both functions and variables. Outside of classes, its more of a linkage specifier, which is arguably more important/nasty if you mess it up. The fact that it has this dual behaviour in C++ in my opinion makes an even stronger argument for including it first, your brain is able to parse it first thing. i.e okay this is static, we are in a class? -> its java static, we are in global scope -> its static linkage.
2. thread_local directly after static, and then inline, then constexpr/consteval. This way, qualifiers which impact storage and or linkage are stuck together. I personally like to write inline even for constexpr/consteval functions, as its sometimes easy to forget the implicit inline. I used to do this for member functions with definitions in the class, but I feel the implicit inline there is a bit more well known/easier to intuit.
3. The rest I'm far less opinionated on, since I barely ever use inheritance or the friend keyword. . I could go both ways on virtual/friend, so i default to alphabetical/aesthetics.

What do you guys think? I know this is pedantic and a very well explored topic but I wanted to know if you guys had any particular wisdom to sway me either way, mainly on the ordering of the first few.

The intro from August's StockholmCpp Meetup: news about C++ in Sweden from the NB and the community, some words from our event sponsor, and, of course, a quiz!

I am far from presuming myself a compiler expert, and no this was not AI, I promise. I'm simply a long-time user of gcc/g++, and it's not everyday I am confident enough that a bug is not in my code but with the tool, haha. I'm pretty warning-sensitive so this kind of thing catches my attention. Wondering if I'm missing something, so asking it here first.

g++ version: g++ (GCC) 16.2.1 20260819 (Red Hat 16.2.1-2) (I'm on Fedora 44)
C++20

Given lines like this:

cpp std::uint16_t count = 0; // int other_var set elsewhere count += (other_var == 5); // <-- -Wconversion flags this

specifically, the warning is:

bash <file>:<line>:<col>: warning: conversion from ‘int’ to ‘uint16_t’ {aka ‘short unsigned int’} may change value [-Wconversion] <line> | count += (other_var == 5);

-Wconversion /w either -O0 and -O3 (my usual build optimization lvls to catch optimization-dependent warnings), this gets flagged.

Well, the result of a boolean expression is 0 or 1, so obviously, there should not be a conversion. Even with the accumulate op here and integer promotion, there shouldn't be a warning (you can do count += 1 or count++ and it definitely doesn't flag -Wconversion). And more notably, the below code doesn't get flagged:

cpp std::uint16_t count = 0; // int other_var set elsewhere bool match = (other_var == 5); count += match;

I also noted that clang with -Wconversion and the same optimization lvls does not flag this. I also know I've done this before in C with other versions of gcc and don't get flagged with this.

So, am I missing something or am I right to suspect this is a possible bug with at least my version of g++?
