does Qt have a thread-safe Queue?
thanks

unless something has changed in recent versions you need to manage queue access using a semaphore.

@opengpu said in does Qt have a thread-safe Queue?:

Then you should also provide the link to the stack overflow post that has that code in it.

Just in case, Qt also provides all the building blocks to implement a shared queue in a similar way.
