QTcpServer, multi-threads VS multi-processes

luca

Hi all,
I have an application that handles every new tcp connection with a new thread. I get this by sub-classing QTcpServer::incomingConnection as usual and passing the QTcoSocket to a new thread.

Now I'd like to have a new process for every socket. This way if one of the processes crashes (I'd like it never happens ) I get the others running.

The problem is that I don't understand how to pass the socket to a new process...

Do you think it's possible?

Socket end point is local kernel/tcp-ip resource. This can't be passed across the process address space. I think your idea is to provide High availability. You need to look for other mechanism for doing your objective.

What do you think about "fork" my application for every client connection?

Have someone already tried?

It seems Apache works like this.
