Qt Remote Objects (QtRO) is an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) module
|
|
developed for Qt. This module extends Qt's existing functionalities to enable
|
|
information exchange between processes or computers, easily.
|
|
|
|
One of Qt's key features, to enable this information exchange, is the
|
|
distinction between an object's API (defined by its properties, signals, and
|
|
slots) and the implementation of that API. QtRO's purpose is to meet that
|
|
expected API, even if the true QObject is in a different process. A slot called
|
|
on a copy of an object (the Replica in QtRO) is forwarded to the true object
|
|
(the Source in QtRO) for handling. Every Replica receives updates to the
|
|
Source, either property changes or emitted signals.
