Well, it's as single threaded as it can be, and I think that is the problem.
The emits are direct invocations. The problem arises when I want to simulate
the communications - the comms with other systems won't happen the same way as
if I pretend to get a reply.
For what I am running into, there is a remote system that is being communicated
with. I can be connected to it, but I can't be connected all the time, so I
have a look up of request:response. instead of doing the actual i/o I pretend
to get the response back:
if (dummyMode == InDummyMode) {
Message m = Message::parse(message);
QByteArray reply = dummyReplies.contains(m.op) ? dummyReplies[m.op]: "";
if (reply.length()) {
qDebug() << Q_FUNC_INFO << "dummy reply" << reply;
emit received(reply);
}
}
However in the live system the direct invocation does not occur, this creates
differences in the signal emission order between the dummy and the real system.
For whatever reason, the handlers get inverted. I need to find a way to not
have them switch order. I cant start Function 10 (STF10) before I've passed
function 9 (PSF09). Passing 9 is what starts 10.
