[Qt-interest] sockets and threads on linux

[william.crocker at analog.com]

Some detail omitted   :-)

1 - Subclass QTcpServer and redefine incomingConnection(int)
     ( The QTcpServer runs in the main thread. )

2 - In this function, create a thread and pass it the int file descriptor.

3 - In the ::run method of the thread, create a ::run/local QTcpSocket and
     setSocketDescriptor with the incoming file desc.

4 - Create some other ::run/local object to handle the readyRead()

5 - Create and ::exec an event loop.

I have a server which has been running flawlessly
under this scenario for years.
