|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
GpgMEpp is a C++ wrapper (or C++ bindings) for the GnuPG project's
|
||||
gpgme (GnuPG Made Easy) library, version 0.4.4 and later.
|
||||
|
||||
It is fairly complete, with some minor things still missing (in
|
||||
particular, the key edit interface).
|
||||
|
||||
The design principles of this library are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
1. A value-based interface (most clases are implicitly shared)
|
||||
2. Callbacks are replaced by C++ interfaces (classes with only
|
||||
abstract methods).
|
||||
3. No exceptions are thrown
|
||||
4. There is (as yet) no explicit support for multi-threaded use
|
||||
(other than what gpgme itself provides; most notably the
|
||||
refcounting for implicit sharing is not thread-safe)
|
||||
5. To avoid binary incompatible interface changes, we make
|
||||
extensive use of the d-pointer pattern and avoid virtual
|
||||
methods; any polymorphism present is already provided by gpgme
|
||||
itself, anyway (see e.g. Data). A notable exception of the
|
||||
no-virtuals rule is the use of abstract classes to cover
|
||||
C-callbacks.
|
||||
|
||||
GpgME was originally developed as part of the KDEPIM community
|
||||
in KDE 4 it was part of kdepimlibs/gpgme++ for KF5 Gpgme++ was
|
||||
renamed to KF5GpgMEpp and moved into it's own repository.

|
||||
license than the one gpgme itself uses doesn't make sense.
