1 | What is Opie PIM? Why is it special? | ||
2 | Why do we need Opie PIM? | ||
3 | |||
4 | The goal of OpiePIM is to be first of all | ||
5 | extendable, light weight, scalable and fast. | ||
6 | For the programmer we try to add a nice but | ||
7 | powerful API to all classes. | ||
8 | |||
9 | Memory is a costy resource on small and embedded | ||
10 | devices. So we try to keep the memory usage as | ||
11 | low as possible. Never the less we won't use structs | ||
12 | and Pointers in the public API. | ||
13 | The whole pim framework is value based. Internally we try | ||
14 | to use implicit sharing as found in other Qt classes as well. | ||
15 | This makes it possible to give 3rd party devels a nice | ||
16 | API while keeping the memory usage as low as possible. | ||

18 | We use C++ Templates | ||
