    Hi
    This is while you are compiling ?
    Mine also uses nearly 100% cpu compiling code so not sure
    why you think its an issue ?
    Or did i miss something ?

    yes it is happening when i start compiling

    ofcourse it is very big issue, no any complier or any IDE take more then 90% CPU when code is compiling , even it is also possible to affect CPU and may be possible to system is fail in near future

      That means your other compiler/IDE is not making full use of your CPU.

      Higher CPU usage == Shorter compilation time

          I want my compiler to use 100% CPU.

          If my compiler uses 100% CPU, it will finish my project quickly. If my compiler only uses 20% CPU, that means it will take a long time to finish compiling my project.

              Thanks for your reply

              According To your explanation if compiler uses 100% CPU then my project quickly complied

              but i my case when i start compilation it take 3 to 4 minutes for project compilation
              and it is huge and high time to build any project

              so i can't avoid this problem
              i can give only 1 or 2 minutes for project compilation

                Why?

                What will happen if it takes 4 minutes instead of 2 minutes?

                Compilation time depends on your PC's specifications and your project's complexity.

                Qt is a huge project. It takes 2 hours to compile Qt on my PC at 100% CPU. This is normal.

                  Okay Let me tell you my PC's specifications

                  -> intel(R) Core(TM) I3-3220 CPU @ 3.30GHz
                  -> Shared GPU Memory
                  -> 64 Bit OS Windows 10 Pro
                  -> 1TB SSD
                  -> 8GM RAM

                  this are specifications in my PC have it
                  and My Project Complexity is i just used my Image Processing function that's it nothing more

                  Or Other things is if My Application is running that time it take high CPU uses than i can control but at compilation time CPU Uses Control is not in my hand.

                  and in your case ,2 hours to compile your Project on your PC so i can assume your Project is not any simple Desktop application or not any simple GUI base Application it may Be Very Valuable Project.

                    run your applications in your system which are uses more than 70% CPU and also your application run 10 to 20 function working parallelly For continuously 2 or 3 days. that time it may be your system can be failed.

                    in any program or application have memory leakage that time programmers can handle it at run time using memory concepts but CPU uses control at runtime it is very difficult and very complex

                      now you are talking about faulty applications. Before you were talking about running the compiler.
                      A faulty application may make your system unstable yes. But thats the fault of a badly programmed application then. Even if the system is out of memory the OS tries to solve it and terminates the application. The application should be fixed then.
                      So the conclusion that 100% CPU means unstable system is still wrong. If the application is programmed correctly the machine can run for weeks with 100% CPU load.

                        Perhaps OP is using / is concerned about wrong measuring stick.

                        Maybe he should try this approach .
                        Compile an application with barely any other software running -
                        I did and it took 50 seconds to finish.
                        Then I run musical video and after recompile I got 1:20 seconds.
                        Both apps are sharing SOME resources and both are performing as expected.

                        In other way - 100% CPU usage is not about overloading the CPU.

                        100% usage should be viewed as top notch efficiency of the compiler instead.

                            Your Qt version is probably not relevant. You are reporting the C++ compiler taking a lot of time. And since you say

                            i was create one qt application And i Used Some image Processing Library in my application and used it's functions

                            I can only guess that your image processing library --- the header files you include from it --- are so "complex" that it just takes the compiler a long time to compile code which includes them.

                            Please confirm that if you let it take whatever time it wants your compile/link do complete successfully? In which case I wouldn't worry about it, it is what it is. If on the other hand it fails to come to a successful conclusion, then that would be a different matter....

                              When you run the application the complier does nothing. It have finished the work and it have generated an executable file.
                              Are you sure that the application is not doing anything?
                              Could you try to comment the processing library include files and run the application again?

                                i was create one qt application And i Used Some image Processing Library in my application and used it's functions

                                I can only guess that your image processing library --- the header files you include from it --- are so "complex" that it just takes the compiler a long time to compile code which includes them.

                                Please confirm that if you let it take whatever time it wants your compile/link do complete successfully? In which case I wouldn't worry about it, it is what it is. If on the other hand it fails to come to a successful conclusion, then that would be a different matter....

                                Thanks for you reply

                                i am used Same Library in Microsoft visual studio 2015 and i create new project in Microsoft visual studio 2015 and i didn't get Any Issus my project Compile Successfully
                                and when i start compiling my visual studio c++ project that time my System used less than 20% Of CPU.

                                and i think in Qt MSVC 2015 Kit and Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 are used Same Compiler for C++

                                  When you run the application the complier does nothing. It have finished the work and it have generated an executable file.
                                  Are you sure that the application is not doing anything?
                                  Could you try to comment the processing library include files and run the application again?

                                    You are mixing compilation times and execution times. Where is your problem? When compiling or when running? And wich is the problem? High CPU usage? When comiling as more CPU used less time to compile and when running it will depend on what is your application doing.
                                    About faulty applications... If it faults it has a bug so you have to find it and remove it.

                                      I believe @Ketan__Patel__0011 has consistently only reported compilation/link timings, I don't see where you see he might be reporting runtime execution time?

                                      If he says that outside of Qt Creator it compiles with 20% CPU while inside it is 90% that does sound a touch strange.... It looks like it is the Microsoft Compiler Driver which is taking the time....

                                        No i am not talking about execution time

                                        My Problem is High CPU Uses When I start to Build My Project

                                        And Tell me one think you never faced this problem ?

                                          Maybe QtCreator is uning multiprocessor compiling while Visual Studio is not. The Intel i3-3220 has 4 core threads, so 20~25 CPU usage during compilation sounds like only one core is used.
                                          On Visual Studio check the "C/C++" options , section "All options" parameter "Additional options", and set "/MP4" to it. It will use 4 cores on compilation.
