Cannot queue arguments of type...

Try. qRegisterMetaType<signed long long>("signed long long");

Try. qRegisterMetaType<signed long long>("signed long long");

That is correct answer. But in previous topic someone told me that "leave parentheses empty"))

P.S. i found that it working without macro, so only qRegisterMetaType<signed long long>("signed long long"); is enough

if such type would be unnecessary - it would not exist

Where did I say it is unnecessary?!
Please stay objective!

hmmm. I did not see any body suggesting like this. Everybody suggested to use the qRegisterMetaType. I was suspecting the way you have done. Hence i asked the code.

That someone explained you why as stated in the documentation of qRegisterMetatype.

Now your issue is fixed, you can move the issue to SOLVED state. It helps others.

Hi All,

I know the solution has been provided to this problem but it is not working for me.

Here is my code,

Class2.hpp
void slot_ofClass2(quint32 &p_Result, QVector<quint32> &p_Values,
Error& p_error);

Class1.hpp
void signal_fromClass1(quint32& p_Result, QVector<quint32>& p_Values,
Error& p_error);

Class1.cpp

    QObject::connect(this, &Class1::signal_fromClass1,
            loc_class2Obj.data(), &Class2::slot_ofClass2,
            Qt::QueuedConnection);

I have added Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(quint32) in Class2.hpp which is included in Class1.hpp and
qRegisterMetaType<quint32>("quint32"); in both the Constructors of Class1 and Class2.

It is still giving the error"QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'quint32&'
(Make sure 'quint32&' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)"

What am I missing?

I don't know anything about QML/registering meta types, so no point quizzing me further, but looking at the error message and your signal/slot parameters you have registered quint32 but your methods require quint32&. With QML/register meta-type maybe it cannot go from quint32 to quint32&? If so, either register quint32& or change your parameters to quint32 to see if that works? ~~There is little point in passing integer-types as references anyway.~~ [Whoops, I didn't realize you are changing the value.]

Savitha

@JonB Thank you for the reply.
If I change my parameters to quint32 it connects to the slot. But my slot_ofClass2 is updating these values which I will be handling in Class1 so I need quint32&.

If I try Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(quint32&) it gives error: 'type name' declared as a pointer to a reference of type 'quint32 &' (aka 'unsigned int &')
and qRegisterMetaType<quint32&>("quint32&"); gives error: no matching function for call to 'qRegisterMetaType<quint32&>(const char [9], quint32*)'

Any solution to handle this problem with references?

I have seen an example with (QString const& s) as a parameter and this works without having to register it as MetaType. So is there any workaround?

JonB

@Savitha
Did you try Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(quint32) as well as Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(quint32&)? Other than that you will have to await someone who knows about this.

Savitha

@JonB Yes, I tried both together and it gave error for qRegisterMetaType<quint32&>("quint32&");

For now, I will emit one more signal from my Class2 and try to catch my results in a slot of Class1.

Thank you @JonB

A slot can not take non-const references. Especially not when it's a queued connection.
