The qt plugins have a utility that is used when examining QObject::connect and disconnect function calls.  If the function is called in an unexpected way then the utility fails to resolve it and the function is ignored.

For the non-static versions of connect and disconnect, we expect the function call to look like:

    this->connect( ... )

It fails in either of these cases (when called from within the body of a non-static method):

    connect( ... )
    QObject::connect( ... )

One result of this is that the Codan checker will not examine SIGNAL parameter in:

    class Q : public QObject
    {
    Q_OBJECT
        void f()
        {
            QObject::disconnect( SIGNAL( destroyed() ), this, SLOT( deleteLater() ) );
        }
    };
