I Need Some Help With QtConcurrent On Mac

TheCRV

@Christian-Ehrlicher m_prepareForChecksum01 is a QFuture<Void>, and treeChecksum01 and browseChecksum01 are local member functions to MainWindow.

Christian Ehrlicher

@TheCRV said in I Need Some Help With QtConcurrent On Mac:

d treeChecksum01 and browseChecksum01 are local member functions to MainWindow.

And what's the signature of those functions?
Please provide a minimal, compilable example so we can take a look on it - shouldn't be that hard here.

TheCRV

@Christian-Ehrlicher Thanks for your help. The signature of those functions are void and they take no parameters. I think that a minimally compilable example might be too much for here, so you can take a look at everything at: https://github.com/TheCRV/Checksum1-V1.0/tree/master

Again, I thank everyone for their help.

Christian Ehrlicher

@TheCRV Sorry but your code does not match what you've shown here. I don't see why it should be so hard to create a minimal class with a function and a QFuture member so we can check it.

TheCRV

@Christian-Ehrlicher Okay, here is some code that gives me the same error:

My mainwindow.h file:

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QtConcurrent>
#include <QFuture>
#include <QDebug>

QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}
QT_END_NAMESPACE

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MainWindow(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
    ~MainWindow();

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QVector<int> numbers;
    QFuture<void> future;

    void addNumbers1();
    void addNumbers2();
};
#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

My mainwindow.cpp file:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    addNumbers1();
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}


void MainWindow::addNumbers1()
{
    future = QtConcurrent::map(this, &MainWindow::addNumbers2);
}


void MainWindow::addNumbers2()
{
    for(int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i)
    {
        numbers.append(i);
        qDebug() << i;
    }
}

My main.cpp file:

#include "mainwindow.h"

#include <QApplication>
#include <QLocale>
#include <QTranslator>

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

    QTranslator translator;
    const QStringList uiLanguages = QLocale::system().uiLanguages();
    for (const QString &locale : uiLanguages) {
        const QString baseName = "Test_" + QLocale(locale).name();
        if (translator.load(":/i18n/" + baseName)) {
            a.installTranslator(&translator);
            break;
        }
    }
    MainWindow w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

Thanks again for any help. I'm pretty sure my problem has something to do with Qt 6, as with Qt 5.x I never had any trouble on Windows.

I would be perfectly happy if I could get QtConcurrent::run to work.

TheCRV

@Christian-Ehrlicher Okay, I have gotten QtConcurrent::run to work by changing my test code to this:

future = QtConcurrent::run(&MainWindow::addNumbers2, this);

I am still curious why map didn't work, but we can consider this solved. Thanks again.

@TheCRV
From https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtconcurrent.html#map I was wondering which overload you were intending to match in your QtConcurrent::map(this, &MainWindow::addNumbers2)? That page is for Qt6, must be some map() overload was removed from Qt5 which matched yours?

You said initially it was a Mac issue that worked on Windows. But now I think you are saying that was Qt5 and now is Qt6? Needs mentioning!

Christian Ehrlicher

I really wonder whats so hard to provide a minimal example... for sure it's important for the problem to load a translator and init an ui... simply not understandable.

Your code does and can not compile with msvc and Qt6 ueither because there is no QtConcurrent::map() which takes those parameters.

class Foo : public QObject {
public:
    Foo() {
        future = QtConcurrent::map(this, &Foo::addNumbers1);
    }
private:
    QFuture<void> future;
    void addNumbers1() {}
};

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    Foo foo;
    return a.exec();
}

TheCRV

@Christian-Ehrlicher I do apologize for not providing a minimal-enough example. You have showed me how to do so. Thanks again.

Christian Ehrlicher

It's not about showing - it's about thinking on how to provide the needed information instead simply copying something together and hope that the others fiddle out what the real problem is. Esp. since this helps to find out the real problem by yourself.

So did you solve your problem now?

TheCRV

@Christian-Ehrlicher Yes, my problem is solved. I'm having another problem with including openSSL in my app. I will open another post for this.
