I fixed the typo of parented (damn autocorrect...

Well, while you're at it..."QTcoSocket?"

Argle........ Done

@kshegunov I don't know how to do that in this case. If my SerialPort object is defined:

class SerialPort : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit SerialPort(Worker *parent = nullptr);
...
SerialPort::SerialPort(Worker *parent) : QObject(parent)

Then how do I declare an instance of SerialPort in my worker object? If I do it like this:

    SerialPort m_serial;

Then it doesn't seem to get moved.

The usual: pointer and allocate it in the constructor with a parent.

@SGaist OK, thanks. I had (incorrectly) inferred from kshegunov's post that it somehow could be done as an ordinary member variable.

[kshegunov]

@mzimmers No the inference is correct. This shall work, shan't it?

class Worker : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    Worker();
private:
    SerialPort m_serial;
};

Worker::Worker()
    : m_serial(this)
{
}

@kshegunov well...yes it does. I was missing the " : m_serial(this)" clause. Thanks!
