Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KInstance::KInstance ( const QCString instanceName  ) 

Constructor.

Parameters:
instanceName the name of the instance

Definition at line 69 of file kinstance.cpp.

KInstance::KInstance ( const KAboutData aboutData  ) 

Constructor.

When building a KInstance that is not your KApplication, make sure that the KAboutData and the KInstance have the same life time. You have to destroy both, since the instance doesn't own the about data. Don't build a KAboutData on the stack in this case ! Building a KAboutData on the stack is only ok for usage with KCmdLineArgs and KApplication (not destroyed until the app exits).

Parameters:
aboutData data about this instance (see KAboutData)

Definition at line 87 of file kinstance.cpp.

KInstance::~KInstance (  )  [virtual]

Destructor.

Definition at line 132 of file kinstance.cpp.

KInstance::KInstance ( const KInstance  )  [protected]

Copy Constructor is not allowed.
