Summary:                    AUTOMOC ignores Q_OBJECT if preceded by
non-whitespace characters
Description: 
A header file like

class A : public QObject
{    Q_OBJECT
};

or

class A : public QObject
{
 /* */ Q_OBJECT
};

with CMAKE_AUTOMOC will actually not run moc on that file, while

class A : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT;
};

will run moc. Apparently there may only be whitespace in front of Q_OBJECT to
trigger automoc. This is not documented and kind of surprising.


Steps to Reproduce: 
enable AUTOMOC
put a some none-whitespace before Q_OBJECT
