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](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qexplicitlyshareddatapointer.html#details) 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/then.md), QPromise provides no guarantee about the object being pointed to. Thread-safety and reentrancy rules for that object still apply.
