The rule in this form is not as helpful as intented.
Paraphrasing comments from the linked issue:
This rule was created based on clazy's “Warn when iterator objects are
implicitly cast to const_iterator" which was likely an attempt to limit
hidden detaches of implicitly-shared Qt containers.
But mixing const_iterator and iterator is not the problem. The problem
is calling a non-const begin()/end()/find()/etc when you only need
const_iterators. So if you ban the implicit conversion from iterator to
const_iterator, you will catch these, theoretically. Practically, no-one
writes QList<Foo>::const_iterator it = l.begin() these days anymore,
everyone is using auto, so the check can never actually trigger for True
Positives.
As-is, it produces False Positives which has a potential to make the
code actually worse.
An alternative to reach a similar goal is to use QT_STRICT_ITERATORS, so
there’s no need for an Axivion check for it.

HOW TO BUILD Qt 6
Synopsis
System requirements
- C++ compiler supporting the C++17 standard
- CMake
- Ninja
- Python 3
For more details, see also https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/build-sources.html
Linux, Mac:
cd <path>/<source_package>
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase
cmake --build .
Windows:
- Open a command prompt.
- Ensure that the following tools can be found in the path:
- Supported compiler (Visual Studio 2022 or later, or MinGW-builds gcc 13.1 or later)
- Python 3 ([https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/] or from Microsoft Store)
cd <path>\<source_package>
configure -prefix %CD%\qtbase
cmake --build .
More details follow.
Build!
Qt is built with CMake, and a typical
configure && cmake --build . build process is used.
If Ninja is installed, it is automatically chosen as CMake generator.
Some relevant configure options (see configure -help):
-releaseCompile and link Qt with debugging turned off.-debugCompile and link Qt with debugging turned on.
Example for a release build:
./configure -prefix $PWD/qtbase
cmake --build .
Example for a developer build: (enables more autotests, builds debug version of libraries, ...)
./configure -developer-build
cmake --build .
See output of ./configure -help for documentation on various options to
configure.
The above examples will build whatever Qt modules have been enabled by default in the build system.
It is possible to build selected repositories with their dependencies by doing
a ninja <repo-name>/all. For example, to build only qtdeclarative,
and the modules it depends on:
./configure
ninja qtdeclarative/all
This can save a lot of time if you are only interested in a subset of Qt.
Hints
The submodule repository qtrepotools contains useful scripts for
developers and release engineers. Consider adding qtrepotools/bin
to your PATH environment variable to access them.
Building Qt from git
See http://wiki.qt.io/Building_Qt_6_from_Git and README.git for more information. See http://wiki.qt.io/Qt_6 for the reference platforms.
Documentation
After configuring and compiling Qt, building the documentation is possible by running
cmake --build . --target docs
After having built the documentation, you need to install it with the following command:
cmake --build . --target install_docs
The documentation is installed in the path specified with the
configure argument -docdir.
Information about Qt's documentation is located in qtbase/doc/README
Note: Building the documentation is only tested on desktop platforms.
