InstrumentNotifier: any reason to inherit from QObject? To have Q_OBJECT?

Why does class InstrumentNotifier inherit from QObject? Why does it have macro Q_OBJECT?

assigned to @j.wuttke

The Q_OBJECT macro must appear in the private section of a class definition that declares its own signals and slots or that uses other services provided by Qt's meta-object system.

mentioned in commit bb2872dd

Inheritance from QObject is needed when the connect function is called for any class member function.

The macro Q_OBJECT is only needed if the class contains signals, or slots, or involves a .ui file.
