QCOM questions
by SW on Sunday 08/Jul/2001, @09:54

Hello Eirik,

I'm really glad that you put QCOM (a COM
workalike) in Qt3. I think this will help
Qt and KDE developers a lot. Howewer, I have
some questions on this:

1. By making QCOM part of Qt and putting it under
GPL/QPL, don't you think that QCOM will be
just one of several component systems, which
are all derived from COM and all incompatible?
Could you LGPL it and make it independent
from Qt such that QCOM can be used
by everybody, removing the need for other
component models?

2. To make QCOM even more useful, it would be
great to have
- an IDL and an IDL compiler
- type libraries
- a scripting host a la WSH
Are there any plans in this direction?

Thanks
