inter-process communication using Qt5 objects

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

Qt Remote Objects (QtRO) is an inter-process communication (IPC) module developed for Qt. The idea is to extend existing Qt's functionalities to enable an easy exchange of information between processes or computers. One of the key features of Qt to enable this is the distinction between an objects API (defined by its Q_Property, Signals and Slots) and the implementation of that API. The purpose of QtRO is to meet the expected API, even if the true QObject is in a different process. A Slot called on a copy of an object (called a Replica) is forwarded to the true object (called a Source) for handling. Updates to the Source, either property changes or emitted Signals, are forwarded to every Replica. This package contains actual libraries to be used by apps.
