QObject creating in one thread using in other
-
Tobias, but simple reading member (without any operatinos from other threads on it) of object from another thread should not crash app.

You can you a QMutex to solve the writing part, afair...

danilocesar, it is part what I am saying of. As I think author doesn't have race conditions, but has some problems with accessing members. So I think source will be really good to help him.

Denis: Sure, but how do you guarantee that no other thread does some writing somewhere without using a mutex or something similar?

You don't, however you need to understand/know what your code is doing =)
I believe we will help better when sriky27 post some code...

Tobias, of course there are no guarantee, but I think that question is not about mutexes. Let's wait for authors response.

I thought this message was for me =/

Hi,
Thanks for the responses there I am currently stripping my project related content and creating a simple application to present here. To explain what I am doing.
My objective of creating and starting a new thread was to improve startup of my process, the thread purely constructs an QObject and returns it to the main thread. The thread dies after that.
I believe I should not have any race conditions there. No one else is trying to access the object.-Sriky

A commonly used trick to improved perceived startup performance is to create some objects using a singleshot QTimer. That way the complexity of multithreading can be avoided in some cases. Maybe that would be applicable to your setup, too.
