Overview of this book

Qt 5.11 is an app development framework that provides a great user experience and develops full capability applications with Qt Widgets, QML, and even Qt 3D. Whether you're building GUI prototypes or fully-fledged cross-platform GUI applications with a native look and feel, Mastering Qt 5 is your fastest, easiest, and most powerful solution. This book addresses various challenges and teaches you to successfully develop cross-platform applications using the Qt framework, with the help of well-organized projects. Working through this book, you will gain a better understanding of the Qt framework, as well as the tools required to resolve serious issues, such as linking, debugging, and multithreading. You'll start off your journey by discovering the new Qt 5.11 features, soon followed by exploring different platforms and learning to tame them. In addition to this, you'll interact with a gamepad using Qt Gamepad. Each chapter is a logical step for you to complete in order to master Qt. By the end of this book, you'll have created an application that has been tested and is ready to be shipped.

Transforming SysInfo into a singleton

Promises are made to be kept: we will now transform the SysInfo class into a singleton. C++ offers many ways to implement the singleton design pattern. We will explain one of them here. Open the SysInfo.h file and make the following changes:

class SysInfo 
{ 
public: 
    static SysInfo& instance(); 
    virtual ~SysInfo(); 
 
    virtual void init() = 0; 
    virtual double cpuLoadAverage() = 0; 
    virtual double memoryUsed() = 0; 
 
protected: 
    explicit SysInfo(); 
 
private: 
    SysInfo(const SysInfo& rhs); 
    SysInfo& operator=(const SysInfo& rhs); 
}; 

The singleton must guarantee that there will be only one instance of the class and that this instance will be easily accessible from a single access point.

So the first thing to do is to change the visibility of the constructor to protected. This way, only this...
