Hoi Thomas

Thank you for your answer.

I found that a few nights ago. I could not get to sleep, and it  
occurred to me that there might be some documentation "out there" that  
would a) enlighten me on QScopedPointer and b) send me to sleep.  
Suffice it to say that both goals were achieved 8-)

Ok, that also makes sense. Combining everything, I think I will opt for:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
     bool simulator = true;

     QScopedPointer<QGuiApplication> app(SailfishApp::application(argc, argv));
     QScopedPointer<QQuickView> view(SailfishApp::createView());
     view->rootContext()->setContextProperty("cppproperty",  cppproperty);
     view->setSource(SailfishApp::pathTo("qml/SetContextPropertyQt5.qml"));
     view->show();
     view->showFullScreen();
     return app->exec();
}

And given that main is short, I don't think the typedef version brings  
any benefits (but that was a tongue-in-cheek suggestion wasn't it?).

Thanks

Chris
