If your signal emits by const-ref, the slot takes the parameter by const-ref and it's an intra-thread delivery, then there's actually no copying. The only copy that may happen is in cross-thread delivery. For each slot whose delivery is in another thread, a full set of copies of each of the parameters is made, by way of the metatype system. In this case, Qt's containers are more interesting because there's no actual copy, only implicit sharing. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
