How to implement signal/slot mechanism in simplest terms with C?
In my opinion, sometimes it is unnecessary to link to a massive
code libraries if only one feature is needed.
AlsaModularSynth uses Qt's signals and slots in audio processing, and thus requires the whole Qt and mixes GUI toolkit
to audio side.
It could be wise to use sigc++ or minimal S/S code in audio processing
and Qt only in GUI.
But because Qt comes with every Linux distribution, maybe bad
dependencies can be allowed.
I don't see why Qt is a bad dependency, on the contrary, having it all in one
place seems like a very good way to cut down on dependencies.
Since it's mostly used as a shared library the impact becomes much smaller as
soon as you use more than one program linked to Qt.
Though, if I'm right about the above, it might be the totally wrong choice.
