We want to provide a library QSerialDevice v 2.0 to work with serial ports: https://gitorious.org/qserialdevice/qserialdevice/trees/2.0
We would like to include it as a separate module for Qt.
The implementation of the library is closely linked to the internal architecture of Qt
and uses some private classes Qt.
We want to know: Is there interest in this subject, and find like-minded in its development?
At present, the library has two classes of SerialPort and SerialPortInfo.
So what we have:
Class SerialPort - full-fledged support for OS Windows, WinCE, POSIX-compatible.
Partially implements the interface for OS Symbian.
As a basis of the SerialPort was taken QAbstractSocket, therefore, their implementation is somewhat similar.
Class SerialPortInfo - fully supports OS Windows, WinCE, GNU/Linux, MacOSX, other * nix (simplified), Symbian.
As a basis of the SerialPortInfo was taken QPrinterInfo, therefore, their implementation is somewhat similar.
For all class added comments in QDoc style.
What else is needed make:
1. Implement SerialPort support in OS Symbian.
2. Make a proper configuration for documentation generation.
3. Make the correct configuration to build the project.
4. Correct spelling errors in comments.
If you're interested to include it into reguar Qt stuff - please let me know
