This is a temporary solution to allow compiling. Any code which actually depends on this method will log to the console. Before shipping code depending on QTimer(parent) we would need to actually make these timers destruct when their parent objects do.
Created attachment 2764 [details] adds QTimer(parent) support
Comment on attachment 2764 [details] adds QTimer(parent) support r=me *but*, the side effect could be a lot worse than a leak if this is really used - it could lead to incorrect behavior or a crash if the timer fires after it's expected to be gone.
landed with better log message: if (parent) LOG(NotYetImplemented, "Parent pointer ignored. QTimer will be leaked and may fire after parent dealloc causing crash.");
