/*!
\brief The TFunctorInvoker is a singleton class that can be used to invoke
functions
as Qt slots without having to inherit from QObject.
\details \par Rationale
Signal and slots are an important part of the Qt framework -
however, using them
requires to explicitly inherit from QObject. This singleton object
is provided
to avoid the memory overhead of inheriting from QObject in the
case of simple
function calls - notably functions that need to synchronize with
Qt's main event
loop.
\par Usage
Inherit from TFunctorInvoker::BaseFunctor and allocate a new
instance on the heap,
to be supplied to the TFunctorInvoker::invoke() slot.
\n
The following code exemplifies a correct usage for this class:
\n
\code
class MyFunctor final : public TFunctorInvoker::BaseFunctor
{
MyParams m_params; // Function
parameters
public:
MyFunctor(const MyParams& params) : m_params(params) {}
void operator()()
{
// The function body, operating on m_params
}
};
//------------------------------------------------------------------
void invokeMyFunctor_queued(const MyParams& params)
{
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(TFunctorInvoker::instance(), "invoke",
Qt::QueuedConnection,
Q_ARG(void*, new MyFunctor(params))
);
}
\endcode
