QtDBus module discussions at Qt Contributor Summit 2013
Topics for discussion:
- Rewriting the engine:
- Dropping the libdbus-1 dependency
- Moving the connection handling to a dedicated thread
- Adding support for kdbus
- kdbus overview
Discussion:
- Take ahartmetz’s marshaller/demarshaller and put on top of QtDBus & libdbus-1
- Moving the handling to a thread
- Handling our own socket
- Remember the specifics about sockets on Windows
- Adding kdbus compatibility
- Generator in QtDBus generates synchronous property get and set
- QtDBus should discourage sync calls more
- For properties, we could add new API that is async (returns QDBusPendingReply<void> and QDBusPendingReply<QDBusVariant>)
- There is no error-checking in qdbus_cast (from variants)
- No way to distinguish a T() returned from qdbus_cast<T>() as empty or as error
- Parse documentation annotations and generate documentation in the Interface and Adaptors?
- Investigate the type system used by Telepathy
- Update documentation about supporting multiple platforms (specifically, Windows)
- Right now, it says it’s Unix-only
- Would be nice to have better tutorials too
