Why do you think that this is a limitation? This is just a separate, cross-platform implementation of the serial port, taking into account the Qt-specific, and designed specifically for Qt, like as QAbstractSocket, QFile and so forth... So, we are not saying that QAbstractSocket and QFile restricts/limiting use !? PS: For example, boost also has its own implementation of ... PS2: or I misunderstood your question?
