    Description

      Emscripten supports downloading and opening libraries asynchronously, via the emscripten_dlopen() call. However since the current QLibrary API is synchronous we can't use it today.

      Investigate if adding an async load() API to QLibrary is possible. The API could be supported cross-platform: use emscripten_dlopen() on WebAssembly, and fall back to calling dlopen() on other platforms.

      Suggested API addition:

        QLibrary::loadAsync()
        signal QLibrary::libraryLoaded()

          Epic - Created by Jira Software - do not edit or delete. Issue type for a big user story that needs to be broken down. QTBUG-103246 Qt should have a QIo like what KIO is. But much much better

          • P2: Important - Urgent, should be fixed, but will not stop the release.
