The rule I use is that you should use your own pool if you plan on launching tasks that may block, but it's ok to use the global one if you need to run things that run as fast as they can without blocking. QHostInfo uses its own thread pool because it calls a blocking function that is known to sometimes take 30 seconds to return (getaddrinfo). > In my case my app will run inside a host application, so my gut feeling > says to create my own thread pool so I don't accidentally hijack the > host application's pool, but I may be wrong?! You're probably right. QHostInfo's example also matches your thinking: Qt's behind-the-scenes usage should not affect the main application's ability to use the global thread pool. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
