main and background thread example

user4592357

what do you mean by check? and no, how should i?

SGaist

Using the top command for example. Valgrind etc.

user4592357

okay, thanks.
one last question, as you can see, on timer's timeout i execute a function. is it possible stop the timer (so the function won't be executed), and then restart it again?

SGaist

Yes:
QTimer::stop
QTimer::start

hi again,
i ran valgrind and it says there's a memory leak on exec() which is in run() overridden method. so what's wrong?

@user4592357 said in main and background thread example:

ThreadObj obj;
m_thread = std::thread(&ThreadObj::work, &obj);

obj is allocated on the stack, it will go out of scope and delete itself

@VRonin

hi, thanks for the reply.
the code has been modified since the first post (see my last code-post), so it's not the problem

@VRonin

i've read similar articles, saying "you shouldn't subclass QThread". in my case i need to do that.

SGaist

Out of curiosity, what are you doing that requires to subclass QThread ?

@SGaist

nothing requires it. it's just that the whole implementation is done and i don't wanna change everything
