How to correct use QtConcurrent::run

[SGaist]

Just to be sure, are you connecting this to a QML UI ?

[shav]

Yes, I'm calling this method from QML and return result to QML.

[SGaist]

Can you show how you used it both in C++ and QML ?

[shav]

Hi,

In QML I've called this:

    MenuItem {
        id: openLogMenuItem
        text: qsTr("Open...")
        shortcut: StandardKey.Open

        onTriggered: {
            if(openFileDialog !== null)
            {
                openFileDialog.accepted.connect(function () {
                    manager.openFile(openFileDialog.fileUrl);
                    manager.viewer.settingsManager.addRecentFile(openFileDialog.fileUrl.toString());
                });
                openFileDialog.open();
            }
        }
    }

Also I've connected slot:

MdlManager {
    id: mdlManager

    onMdlLogParserDidStart: {
        spinnerView.running = true;
        cententViewLoader.setSource("");
    }

    onMdlLogParserDidFinished: {
        spinnerView.running = false;
        if(parser !== null)
        {
            var options = { manager: loggerInfoView.mdl};
            cententViewLoader.setSource("Components/MdlCentralWidget.qml", options);
        }
    }

    onMdlLogParserErrorDetected: {
        spinnerView.running = false;
    }
}

In C++ I have method:

Q_INVOKABLE inline void openFile(QString file){m_lvManager->parseLogFile(file);}

And Connected slot:

    m_lvManager = new MdlLogViewerManager();
    m_lvManager->setParent(this);
    connect(m_lvManager->getParser(), &MdlLogParser::parserDidStart, this, [this]() {
        emit mdlLogParserDidStart();
    });
    connect(m_lvManager->getParser(), &MdlLogParser::parserDidFinished, this, [this](MdlLogParser* obj) {
        emit mdlLogParserDidFinished(obj);
    });
    connect(m_lvManager->getParser(), &MdlLogParser::errorChanged, this, [this](MdlLogParserError* obj) {
        emit mdlLogParserErrorDetected(obj);
    });
    connect(m_lvManager->getSettingsManager(), &ShavSettingsManager::settingsLoaded, this, [this](bool flag, ShavSettingsManager* settings) {
        emit mdlSettingsLoaded(flag, settings);
    });

And source code for method "parsingLogFile":

void MdlLogParser::parsingLogFile(QString fPath)
{
    try
    {
        m_wasParsed = false;
        m_logFileFolder.clear();
        m_logFilePath = fPath.replace("file://", "");
        QString logFileName = m_logFilePath.split("/").last();
        m_logFileFolder = m_logFilePath;
        m_logFileFolder.replace(logFileName, "");

        m_classes.clear();
        m_frameworksList.clear();
        m_sessions.clear();
        m_methods.clear();
        m_messages.clear();
        m_systemMessage.clear();
        m_images.clear();
        m_viewsStructures.clear();

        emit parserDidStart();
        QtConcurrent::run(this, &MdlLogParser::readLogFileContents);
    }
    catch(std::exception& exception)
    {
        ShavNotificationCenter::defaultManger()->postNotification(SHAV_NC_EXCEPTION_DETECTED, QVariant(exception.what()));
    }
}

Hi, everyone!

I still have problem with threads in my project, but now it's strange and I don't know why this happens.

I've changed code in my project and now I have class which reading file, the content from file unzip and decoding using AES decode algorithm from QCA library. In result class generate QVariantMap object which return to main program by signal. The code of all operation looks like:

if(!m_logFilePath.isEmpty())
{
    m_logFilePath = m_logFilePath.replace("file://", "");
    QFile file(m_logFilePath);
    if(file.exists())
    {
        if(file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
        {
            QTextStream stream(&file);
            QString content = stream.readAll();

            if(!content.isNull())
            {
                QByteArray compressedDatas = QByteArray::fromBase64(content.toUtf8());
                QString fileContent = QString(uncompressDatas(compressedDatas));        //Trying to decompress source datas

                QString decodedString;
                if(!fileContent.isEmpty()) //If source datas was compressed.
                {
                    decodedString = decode(fileContent, m_aesKey, m_aesIv);
                }
                else        //If source datas doen't compressed we trying to decode withot decompress.
                {
                    decodedString = decode(compressedDatas, m_aesKey, m_aesIv);
                }

                //Start convert to Objects
                if(!decodedString.isNull())
                {
                    QString crashString("Crash=Y");
                    bool wasCrash = false;
                    if(decodedString.startsWith(crashString, Qt::CaseInsensitive))
                    {
                        wasCrash = true;
                    }

                    decodedString = QString("[") + decodedString.mid(crashString.length(),
                                                                     decodedString.length()-crashString.length()-1) + QString("]");

                    QJsonDocument doc = QJsonDocument::fromJson(decodedString.toUtf8());
                    if(!doc.isEmpty())
                    {
                        QVariant data = doc.toVariant();
                        QList<QVariant> list = data.toList();

                            crashLog["image"] = crashImage;

                            emit fileReaderDidFinish(jsonObj);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

emit fileReaderDidFinish(QVariant());

When I need to use class I've called this code:

    if(!file.isEmpty())
    {
        emit m_parser->parserDidStart();

        QThread* thread = new QThread(this);
        MdlFileReader* fileReader = new MdlFileReader(file, m_settingsManager->getAesKey(), m_settingsManager->getAesInventoryKey());
        fileReader->moveToThread(thread);
        connect(fileReader, &MdlFileReader::fileReaderDidFinish, this, [this, file](QVariant jsonObj) {

            if(!jsonObj.isNull())
            {
                m_parser->updateFromJSONObject(jsonObj);
            }
        }, Qt::QueuedConnection);
        connect(thread, &QThread::started, fileReader, &MdlFileReader::startParseFile);
        thread->start();
    }

The problem is sometimes this code works and application does't crash. But sometimes application crashes. It's could happens every second time when I load application (without rebuild).

I've also tried QtConcurrent::run but no luck.

Full crash report looks like:

What I do wrong? Thanks for the any help!

[jalomic]

@shav Where is objects deletion?

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qthread.html Documentation contains very useful examles

[shav]

@jalomic Thanks for the reply!

I've added the attribute to my main class which must separate thread as

    /** Thread for read file.*/
    QThread* m_thread;

In constructor of my class I've aded this line to create thread instance like this:

    m_thread = new QThread(this);

and method where I'm using this thread looks like this:

        MdlFileReader* fileReader = new MdlFileReader(file, m_settingsManager->getAesKey(), m_settingsManager->getAesInventoryKey());
        fileReader->moveToThread(m_thread);
        connect(fileReader, &MdlFileReader::fileReaderDidFinish, this, [this](QVariant jsonObj) {

            m_thread->quit();
            m_thread->wait();

            if(!jsonObj.isNull())
            {
                m_parser->updateFromJSONObject(jsonObj);
            }
        });

        connect(m_thread, &QThread::started, fileReader, &MdlFileReader::startParseFile);
        m_thread->start();

in destructor of my main class I've added this line:

    m_thread->deleteLater();

By the way how I can call slot from main thread if signal send from separate thread? Maybe problem is that I'm updating GUI in separate thread? Because in QML I have slot which uses Loader to load QML file. This slot called when file was parse and ready to use.

[SGaist]

The connection should be queued, so the slot will be executed in the receiver thread (hence the use of signals and slots to transmit information for the GUI part to update)

I wonder if your object gets garbage collected

[shav]

Thanks! But I've tried this and this didn't help me to solved problem :-(

About GC I'll check.

[jalomic]

@shav connect(m_thread, &QThread::finished, fileReader, &QObject::deleteLater);

[shav]

@jalomic Thanks I'll try this.

[SGaist]

About the ownership: here is the doc

[shav]

@SGaist Thanks for the link! I'll check it!
