Sync call with timeout
-
Hi all,
I new to Qt and I'm facing a problem that I'm sure it is very simple for you dear experts.
I want to obtain a synch call for a method that perform an async operation.
I used mutex to serialize the call to the method and want the sync call to return either when the operation has been terminated or when a timeout expired. For the timeout control I'm using QTimer.I tried many solution, with different threads combination but I always get blocked for one of the following reasones:
- The Qtimer thread affinity is not respected
- The Qtimer's timeout is not delivered since it seems that the event loop is blocked due to different mutexed call.
I have no code to provide in this instant but if it is needed I can redo one of my attemps and copy here. My belief, anyway is that it is not a matter of code, I need to understand how Qt works under the hood first. Am I rx?
Could you please help me to understand how to architecture the solution in the correct way?
Thanks in advance

with different threads
Why threads? You want to make an assync function block, right?
How do you know the assync operation has finished? Is there a callback or signal?
