I don't know if this is the right forum but here goes.

I'm working on a plugin for Amarok which is written in QtScript. I need to open a TCP connection to localhost. The QTcpSocket::connectToHost needs a unsigned short (16-bit int) as its port parameter.

QtScript is loosly typed and each number as such is probably a 32-bit integer. When calling connectToHost I get this error:

Code: Select all

Error: QAbstractSocket::connectToHost(): could not find a function match; candidates are:
connectToHost(QHostAddress address, unsigned short port, OpenMode mode)
connectToHost(String hostName, unsigned short port, OpenMode mode)

It seems that you can not call a Qt4 function that requires a short integer as type casting is impossible within QtScript.

Am I wrong about this? If so, how do I call connectToHost?
