Using QThread in a webassembly app with latest upstream
-
Hi All,
There's a thing regarding emscripten SDK and Qt threads that has to be clarified.
In one hand, Qt indicates the following (from October 2019, 8th):
The known-good versions are:
Qt 5.12: 1.38.16
Qt 5.13: 1.38.27 (multithreading: 1.38.30)
Use emsdk to install specific emscripten versions (example):./emsdk install sdk-1.38.16-64bit
./emsdk activate --embedded sdk-1.38.16-64bitbut on the other hand, beneficiating from a fast build requires to follow these steps (from here):
emsdk install latest-upstream emsdk activate latest-upstream
The "lastest" implies now it will install emscripten version 1.39.0:
MACBOOKs-MacBook-Pro:mandelbrot macbook$ which em++ /Users/macbook/emsdks/emsdk/upstream/emscripten/em++ MACBOOKs-MacBook-Pro:mandelbrot macbook$ em++ --version emcc (Emscripten gcc/clang-like replacement) 1.39.0 (commit ae5044e7797654f2ed5fb7c0e174e7c8ead5187b) Copyright (C) 2014 the Emscripten authors (see AUTHORS.txt) This is free and open source software under the MIT license. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
There is an incoherence in the installation process, as versions differ.
And using 1.39 does not allow me to enjoy multithreading, as it simly freezes the wep app (i.e the "Mandelbrot" project, or my own projects whuch use QThread).Is it related ? Is there a way to combine both fast build using the latest sdk with upstream and QThread ?
Thanks a lot.

Is it related ? Is there a way to combine both fast build using the latest sdk with upstream and QThread ?There is a known issue where a wakeup event doesn't reach the app so it doesn't update, but if you move the mouse it will update.

Other than that, I haven't had any problem with 1.39.0 with threads.

None of the examples using QThreads works. Among them:
QueudCustomTypes
Mandelbrot
TextureInThreadI built Qt sources 5.13.1 using upstream 1.39.0
here's my Qt setup:
Qt Creator 4.8.1 Based on Qt 5.12.0 (Clang 10.0 (Apple), 64 bit) From revision e8df914ef2 Built on Jan 15 2019 22:17:21
But I still have Sources from Qt 5.13.1
I can't update my Qt as I run it on Sierra 10.12 when Qt 5.13 needs Sierra 10.13.Project WARNING: Qt requires at least version 10.13 of the platform SDK, you're using 10.12. Please upgrade.
Is it related to this warning ?
Thank you.

Ok, so I updated my OS, and rebuilt my sources using the configure options :
./configure -xplatform wasm-emscripten -nomake examples -prefix $PWD/qtbase -no-warnings-are-errors -device-option WASM_OBJECT_FILES=1 -feature-thread
And building my sources with the command:
gmake -j4 module-qtbase module-qtdeclarative module-qtquickcontrols2 module-qtwebsockets module-qtsvg module-qtcharts module-qtmqtt module-qtdatavisualization
It all compiles pretty well.
But know when I try to compile a thread example (Mandelbrot for example) the building gives my this:

And I have no clue what it means.
Thanks.
