Re: [Interest] Terminating a QThread

Except in this particular case where: - The flag is set to false at the start of the thread - Set to true for stopping by the controlling(parent) thread (writen, never read) - Checked by the thread as a quit condition (read, never written) In that case, there is absolutely no possible race cond

[Interest] Getting the QQuickView that created a QMediaService instance or requested a QMediaPlayerControl

Hi! I'm working on a plugin for hardware acceleration of Media Player Qt API. To do this I need to run some code on the scene graph thread. All the possible ways I've been given to do this require to somehow access the QQuickWindow in which the service is created. But can I do this from the QMedi

Re: [Interest] Terminating a QThread

Hi, This was my case, but after a careful study of how the event loop and queued signal/slot connection works, I figured it out and everything works cleanly now. It's easy to have this issue, as if you ask the thread to quit via a signal/slot, you have to ensure that nothing is destroyed or blocke

Re: [Interest] Terminating a QThread

Well, after a quick test, it seems that terminate is not working under windows (at least, not working as expected by reading the manual). That's a very good occasion for you to re-think your code and make it work without terminate. There is nothing less clean than terminate (just remind that, amon

André, my idea was more to continue the discussion of the qt-project.org forum. In my first post on this list I precised the conclusion we have made on the qt-project.org forum post that is to say the different behaviours of the two approaches using the worker approach or not. My question in th

Re: [Interest] Terminating a QThread

Thanks Etienne and Mandeep for your answers. However as I wrote in my initial post (in the code of the objectInThread class), in my real application I do not have a while loop just a sequence of functions. With a while loop and the flag the code is clean like that. However, in my case that mean

Re: [Interest] Terminating a QThread

Sorry Mandeep, I didn't read your post first. Basically what I posted is similar. A mutex is a little bit overkill here, you could use an atomic variable if you want to be sure, but just a bool flag will be enough as it is always set atomically AFAIK 2013/6/21 Mandeep Sandhu > On Fri, Jun 21,

Re: [Interest] Terminating a QThread

The best is still not to terminate threads if not absolutely necessary. Even without an event loop, you can poll a flag that asks the thread to return from the run function. For instance: void RenderThread::run() { while(!stopRequested) { //Do some intensive calcul

Dear all, Even if I know that it can be dangerous to terminate a thread, I need to do it for my application. The function that run into the thread is like a long linear sequence of code that has not been designed in a signal/slot way. Moreover, in my thread, I need an eventloop as I use in it s
