template <typename T> int Cute::registerType()

This function registers the type T to Cute so that it can be used on remote signals and slots. T must be fully defined and T must be declared with Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(). Returns the meta type Id.

void Cute::setErrorHandler(Cute::IErrorHandler *errorHandlerInstance)

Sets errorHandlerInstance as the instance responsible for receiving errors. Although errors may originate from different threads, Cute Server serializes error reporting to this instance. Thus, implementors do not have to worry about making handler thread-safe. Any previously set handler is destroyed. This function is thread-safe.

Note that remote objects are compiled into a shared library that is loaded by server during runtime. Thus, to set the error handler, setErrorHandler can be called in a function tagged with the constructor attribute. Both GCC and Clang support attributes. setErrorHandler can be called during library loading as shown below:

// function to run when library loads
__attribute__((constructor))
static void initialize_remote_objects_lib()
{
    // MyErrorHandler is a class that inherits IErrorHandler
    Cute::setErrorHandler(new MyErrorHandler);
}
