Mutable field

[gamecreature]

View components use mutable fields. Is this really required?

[vadi2]

Which ones do you mean specifically?

[gamecreature]

edbee-lib/edbee-lib/edbee/views/components/textmargincomponent.h

Lines 104 to 105 in fce8954

	mutable int width_;
	mutable int lastLineCount_;

[vadi2]

Ah. I'd stay away from such a mechanic in my own code.

Well it's used for caching the width in the withHint() const call ... (Which interface is defined by QWidget so it cannot be changed)

edbee-lib/edbee-lib/edbee/views/components/textmargincomponent.cpp

Line 170 in fce8954

int TextMarginComponent::widthHint() const

Guess it isn't a big issue since width_ is a private member.
