Simon Brunel 18739bd8e0 New documentation based on GitBook CLI
Split the root README.md in multiple Markdown files (in the `docs/` folder) to make easier reading, editing and extending the documentation. An online version is also available on netlify (https://qtpromise.netlify.com). Building it requires Node.js installed, then:

- npm install -g gitbook-cli
- gitbook install ./
- gitbook build . dist/docs

Thread-Safety

QPromise is thread-safe and can be copied and accessed across different threads. QPromise relies on explicitly data sharing and thus auto p2 = p1 represents the same promise: when p1 resolves, handlers registered on p1 and p2 are called, the fulfilled value being shared between both instances.

Note: while it's safe to access the resolved value from different threads using then, QPromise provides no guarantee about the object being pointed to. Thread-safety and reentrancy rules for that object still apply.
