* If an ``#include`` statement like ``#include "foo.moc"`` is found,
then a ``Q_OBJECT`` is expected in the current source file and ``moc``
is run on the file itself. Additionally, header files with the same
base name (like ``foo.h``) or ``_p`` appended to the base name (like
``foo_p.h``) are parsed for ``Q_OBJECT`` macros, and if found, ``moc``
is also executed on those files. ``AUTOMOC`` checks multiple header
alternative extensions, such as ``hpp``, ``hxx`` etc when searching
for headers. The resulting moc files, which are not included as shown
above in any of the source files are included in a generated
``moc_compilation.cpp`` file, which is compiled as part of the
target.

The resulting ``moc_<basename>.cpp`` files are generated in custom
directories and automatically included in the generated

avoid name collisions for moc files with the same ``<basename>``.

* ``AUTOMOC`` always checks multiple header alternative extensions,
