So basically open source/standard Qt was considered appropriate for safety critical devices prior to the introduction of Safe Renderer in 2017, but now only commercial Qt with Safe Renderer is appropriate for that purpose. Before anyone says otherwise, Qt was widely used in safety critical a

Prime billing on QtC's front page is a picture of the combined dashboard/infotainment system for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz A-Class. Dashboard is definitely safety critical in eyes of regulators. Infotainment system too if is integrated with backup cam. -Original Message- From: Matthew Woeh

I find this whole argument that Qt is not appropriate for functional safety very puzzling. Aren’t vehicle dashboards QtC’s main market these days? What are vehicle dashboards if not safety critical? If Qt is no longer appropriate for embedded medical devices, why is it still appropriate for

Hi Konstantin, Welcome to the hell that is 3D in Qt. To understand the problems that you are facing, you need to know a little history. Other users can perhaps provide additional insight or correct any errors, since my recollection and understanding of these matters is probably not perfe

The FitBit and its many fly-by-night knockoffs are a great example. Its “food plan” app will probably soon have privileged access to all of your kitchen appliances. And it can even be used to monitor when the supervisor at your local nuclear power plant goes on his daily constitutional. From

There are much worse possible outcomes than spoiled food. “App-controlled” smart ovens are now all the rage. Even if there are safety measures to prevent remotely burning down your house, what fraction of ovens in a community do you need to simultaneously preheat to bring down the entire electri

Not sure if it's an option for you guys, but I've been very impressed by the rapid pace of improvement of Qt/CMake/Git/Linux x-compilation tools in MSVC over the past couple of years. They have all gone from being semi-supported add-ons to fully-integrated and functional in the IDE (including ev

Neat, thanks for the tip. Have you heard of anyone using LVGL for desktop development? It looks like it should be pretty easy to throw something together using the SDL2-based device simulator as a starting point. Might give it a whirl and see how it compares to ImGUI. From: Jason H > I'm not

Thank you for your informative reply Roland. I am curious whether any companies that you know of have considered switching to a cross-platform windowing library like SDL plus a lean immediate mode GUI (e.g. Dear ImGUI, Nuklear, Nanogui, or whatever else is current)? I really like the idea of doi
