Lagging window/gui when using realtime table view
-
@JKSH said in Lagging window/gui when using realtime table view:
I'm guessing you meant: The program lags when resultAvailable() is emitted (which runs addResult()). In contrast, it doesn't lag if you simply print the Result object's data to the console (using printf() or std::cout or qDebug()) without emitting the signal.
Exactly, sorry for the wrong description.
Quick check: What happens if you don't link your model to the table view (comment out tableView->setModel(...)? Does the UI still lag?
It doesn't lag at all.
That is the entire model code:
#include "resultsmodel.hpp" #include "result.hpp" ResultsModel::ResultsModel(QObject *parent) : QAbstractTableModel(parent) { // ... } int ResultsModel::rowCount(const QModelIndex &) const { return mResults.size(); } int ResultsModel::columnCount(const QModelIndex &) const { return 5; } QVariant ResultsModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const { if (! index.isValid()) { return QVariant(); } if (index.row() >= mResults.size() || index.row() < 0) { return QVariant(); } auto result = mResults.at(index.row()); if (role == Qt::DisplayRole) { switch (index.column()) { case 0: return result->filename().isEmpty() ? "?" : result->filename(); break; case 1: return result->url(); break; case 2: return result->source(); break; case 3: return result->fileSize().isEmpty() ? "?" : result->fileSize(); break; case 4: return result->isOnline() ? "Yes" : "No"; break; } } return QVariant(); } bool ResultsModel::setData(const QModelIndex &, const QVariant &, int) { return false; } QVariant ResultsModel::headerData(int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role) const { if (role != Qt::DisplayRole) { return QVariant(); } if (orientation == Qt::Horizontal) { switch (section) { case 0: return tr("Filename"); break; case 1: return tr("Url"); break; case 2: return tr("Source"); break; case 3: return tr("Size"); break; case 4: return tr("Online"); break; default: return QVariant(); break; } } return QVariant(); } Qt::ItemFlags ResultsModel::flags(const QModelIndex &index) const { if (! index.isValid()) { return Qt::ItemIsEnabled; } return QAbstractTableModel::flags(index); } void ResultsModel::addResult(Result *result) { if (mResults.contains(result)) { return; } auto index = mResults.size(); beginInsertRows(QModelIndex(), index, index); mResults << result; endInsertRows(); } void ResultsModel::reset() { beginResetModel(); qDeleteAll(mResults.begin(), mResults.end()); mResults.clear(); endResetModel(); }@Mr-Gisa said in Lagging window/gui when using realtime table view:
if (! index.isValid()) { return QVariant(); } if (index.row() >= mResults.size() || index.row() < 0) { return QVariant(); } auto result = mResults.at(index.row());And here I would first check for the role, then the bounds and at last for the validity since this is the most expensive operation here.

@Christian-Ehrlicher I made the changes you pointed out and it helped a lot, it's still lagging, but way less than it was before. I can feel the gui freezing when trying to move, and as it's a lot of incoming data per second in the model you can really feel the lag in the gui.
I think you know a software called Wireshark, it was made using Qt and their table receives A LOT (way more than mine) of packets information and it doesn't lag at all, but in my application I can feel the lag when I try to move the window around while the results are being displayed in the table. -
Another idea is to collect some results and add them once in a second (or every n seconds) instead every single one.

Because now the compiler don't need to generate debug information and compiles your code with optimizations.
-
You think I should leave that way getting results at real time or do the batched thing? What is the best alternative here?
-
5~10 thousands, I can't get to 100~200 cause I have to code the other APIs, but with that it's working normally at this point.

Exactly, that is what I'm going to do. Thank you all for your help. If anything happen in the future I'll say it here.
I'm also going to get a copy with a friend of mine of his Intel Parallel Studio 2018 to check a few things in the application, I hope it works with Qt. -

Well its a compiler so good chance it can compile Qt.

I'm not going to use the compiler, but the Intel® Inspector and Intel® VTune™ Amplifier.
Intel® Inspector: Memory and Thread Debugger
Intel® VTune™ Amplifier: Performance Profiler -
Yes, but you can also specify the source code and it will show you the places that it has leaks and is slow, stuff like that.
