How to call functor with QThread

[SRaD]

I have a class with an operator() overloaded.

class MyWorker : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    private:
    // ...
    signals:
        void t_changed(const QString &);
    public:
    void operator()();
        // ...
};

How does one call the functor of MyWorker using QThread?

my_worker = std::make_unique<MyWorker>(this);
// ...

QThread *my_thread = new QThread;
my_worker->moveToThread(my_thread);
my_thread->start(); // I want MyWorker::operater()() to be called.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi,

If you want to use QThread, you should rather use the working object approach as described in QThread's documentation. Replace that operator with a slot as shown in said documentation.
