QThread::create is still behind a few #ifdefs in Qt 6. It requires: 1) a configure-time check for C++11 std::future and std::async 2) a compile-time check for C++14 std::invoke and some C++14 language features
#1 enables the create() function at all; #2 enables the ability to pass a callable that takes argumentst and those extra arguments to create() . During Qt 5 that made sense because we only required C++11. Qt 6 requires C++17 core language. Do we also want to require C++17 standard library? Or at least the C++14 standard library? Or even the C++11 library? The reason I ask is that there is one platform in the CI that is currently failing to compile some QThread::create-using code because even #1 is failing. That is, it doesn't have complete C++11 standard library support (or the cmake test is failing for other reasons). Do we want to kick it to the curb? I think we should require #1 and #2 to pass and simply remove the tests. Simply make qthread.h assume they are there and let the build fail if not. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
