Can you help me for not work in signals problem.

nyamnyam

Hello.
I think it's beginner's problem.. but i'm not solve this problem in 5 hours.

this code is console source and error message is shown.

main.obj:-1: error: LNK2019: "public: void __cdecl EndChecking::quitSignal(void)" (?quitSignal@EndChecking@@QEAAXXZ) external sign (reference location: "protected: virtual void __cdecl EndChecking::run(void)" (?run@EndChecking@@MEAAXXZ) function )에서 확인하지 못했습니다.

how do i modify it? i can't understand where error code is.
Please help me for this situations.

Thx.

in source is below

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QThread>
#include <iostream>

class EndChecking : public QThread
{
Q_OBJECT
protected:
virtual void run() override;

signals: void quitSignal();
};

void EndChecking::run()
{
char c = NULL;

while (true)
{
    std::cin >> c;

    if (c == 'q' || c == 'Q')
        emit quitSignal();
}

}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

std::cout << "type Q to exit Program" << std::endl;

EndChecking* pchk = new EndChecking();
QObject::connect(pchk, SIGNAL(quitSignal()), &a, SLOT(quit()));
pchk->start();

return a.exec();

}

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you put that all in a single file ?

nyamnyam

@SGaist yes. i tested for quit console program.

@nyamnyam Move EndChecking to its own header and cpp file

nyamnyam

@jsulm Wow Thx.. it is worked.
But, i don't understand why this dvede in different cpp n h files.
I think that (devide and combine classes ) is same.
Can you help me why combine file is not work?
First of all, thak you for solving my problem.
Thx.

@nyamnyam The reason for that is that QObject based classes needs to be parsed by moc Qt tool which generates code for signals/slots. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/why-moc.html

SGaist

If you have everything in a single file you need to add:

#include "main.moc"

At the bottom of the file and re-run qmake so that moc is run on that cpp file and thus the corresponding code is generated.

Ah ha! :) Now that I am doing C++ with Qt: could you be specific about what requirements/restrictions this imposes? Does this mean, say, that you cannot have two classes derived from QObject in the same .cpp/.h as one another?

SGaist

No particular restrictions. As written before, QObject based classes are usually declared in their own header. Nothing prevents you from having them in a cpp file, you just have to put the corresponding include at the end so they are also parsed by moc for QObject based classes in them.
