Verdigris
A header-only library enabling Qt development without the MetaObject Compiler (moc) using compile-time macros.
What is Verdigris?
Verdigris is a header-only C++ library that allows developers to use Qt without the MetaObject Compiler (moc). It replaces Qt's moc-specific macros with its own set, generating QMetaObject data at compile-time while maintaining full binary compatibility with Qt. This solves build system complexities and enables advanced C++ features like templated QObjects.
C++ developers working with Qt who face build system integration challenges, need templated QObjects, or want to avoid moc's limitations. Particularly useful for projects using non-Qt build systems or requiring advanced metaprogramming.
Developers choose Verdigris because it eliminates moc dependency, simplifies builds, and extends Qt with features like templated QObjects—all while remaining fully compatible with existing Qt libraries and tooling.
