Unable to start QThread in Qt 5.4 beta

[anutosh]

I recently installed Qt 5.4 beta. I am facing an issue with QThread. QThread::start() function never returns. It just hangs there. For example in the below code snippet:

void EmulatorTest::threadTest(){
QThread thread;
qDebug() << "starting thread";
thread.start();
qDebug() << "thread started";
}
The debug statement "thread started" never gets printed and my application hangs. Please let me know if anyone is facing this issue.

You use emulator or real devices to test your code?

In this case I have used emulator. But with Qt 5.3 I had used both emulator and device and that worked fine.

I suggest you try Qt 5.4 RC once it is available.

Hi Vincent,

I have tried Qt 5.4 RC as well and still the same issue. This time I tested it on both emulator and windows phone.

Please advise.
