QMutexLocker with Q_GLOBAL_STATIC

beecksche

Hi,
i change my code to Qt 6 and get a compilation errer with QMutexLocker and a Q_GLOBAL_STATIC variable. The error occours not in Qt 5.15.

Qt 6.5, MSVC2019, 64 bit, Win10

Q_GLOBAL_STATIC(QMutex, mutex)

...

void myFun() {
   QMutexLocker locker(&mutex); 
   //C2039, "lock" is not a member of "QGlobalStatic<QtGlobalStatic::Holder<`anonymous-namespace'::Q_QGS_m_mutex>>"
}

jsulm

@beecksche said in QMutexLocker with Q_GLOBAL_STATIC:

Q_GLOBAL_STATIC(QMutex, mutex)

Why does it have to be global static?

Because of ... reasons ... No, you're absolutely right:

QMutex mutex;
...
void myFun() {
   QMutexLocker locker(&mutex); 
}

is totally sufficient. (And works by the way). Thanks
