Yes, but for instance you can't move-pass an object between signals and

The Qt style on designing signals, is to use those for indicating that
something happened, but not passing the something in the signal. For example,
you get a signal that new data is available (e.g. a datagram), but you don't
get the datagram passed as signal argument.
You don't? Well, you can certainly get a pointer to it (which is cheap, of course)...
See QNetworkAccessManager::finished(QNetworkReply *reply); [signal]

I would say that it is quite normal to signal the finishing of some operation _and_ directly pass along the results of that operation. If that is a std::vector, then indeed it would result in copying (so I'd go looking for a different design there, perhaps use a QVector instead).
