Detailed Description

template<typename Tsender, typename... Args>
class librepcb::Signal< Tsender, Args >

The Signal class is used to emit signals on non-QObject derived classes.

The classes librepcb::Signal and librepcb::Slot are similar to Qt's signal/slot concept. The main difference is that senders and receivers of signals do not need to be derived from QObject, thus our own signal/slot mechanism is better suited for low-level classes.

This gives the advantage of avoiding QObject overhead, but has several drawbacks:

  • No thread-safety
  • Always synchronous, no queued connections are possible
  • No endless loop detection
