Trying to use QFuture and QFutureWatcher for the first time

Perdrix

I have a class called GridData that has a public member function:

        void
            interpolate(QPromise<void>& promise,
                const std::vector<double>& x, const std::vector<double>& y, const std::vector<double>& z,
                const std::vector<double>& xg, const std::vector<double>& yg, std::vector<double>& zg,
                InterpolationType type, float data = 0.0);

I'm trying to use that, attempting to follow the example for QtConcurrent.run in the docs which looks like:

 extern void aFunction(QPromise<void> &promise, int arg1, const QString &arg2);

 int integer = ...;
 QString string = ...;

 QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(aFunction, integer, string);

my code:

QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(gridData->interpolate(xValues, yValues, fwhmValues, xg, yg, zgFWHM, GridData::InterpolationType::GRID_NNIDW, 10.f));
futureWatcher->setFuture(future);

but I get:

D:\Github\DSS\DeepSkyStacker\QualityChart.cpp(223,56): error C2664: 'void DSS::GridData::interpolate(QPromise<void> &,const std::vector<double,std::allocator<double>> &,const std::vector<double,std::allocator<double>> &,const std::vector<double,std::allocator<double>> &,const std::vector<double,std::allocator<double>> &,const std::vector<double,std::allocator<double>> &,std::vector<double,std::allocator<double>> &,DSS::GridData::InterpolationType,float)': cannot convert argument 1 from 'std::vector<double,std::allocator<double>>' to 'QPromise<void> &'

what am I doing wrong please, and how do I fix it?

@Perdrix
The following quite untested but hopefully correct :)

QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(gridData->interpolate(xValues, yValues, fwhmValues, xg, yg, zgFWHM, GridData::InterpolationType::GRID_NNIDW, 10.f));

This is conceptually wrong, as gridData->interpolate(...) as a parameter would actually execute the function. Per the docs you have to pass (a reference to) the function you want called to QtConcurrent::run(), followed by the arguments as their own, separate parameters to QtConcurrent::run().

The next complication is that you want to call a member function on an object/instance.

The last complication is that the syntax (order of parameters to QtConcurrent::run()) appears to have changed at Qt6. A lot of older solutions you will find on the web presumably no longer work. Following
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/concurrent-changes-qt6.html#qtconcurrent-run
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70054114/how-to-run-a-member-function-in-qtconcurrent-in-qt6
I think you want:

QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(&GridData::interpolate, gridData, xValues, yValues, fwhmValues, xg, yg, zgFWHM, GridData::InterpolationType::GRID_NNIDW, 10.f);

The first argument is the class method to call, the second argument is the object/instance to call it on and the remaining arguments are parameters to pass to the method call.

All being well, and with your interpolate() function having QPromise<void>& promise as its first parameter (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtconcurrentrun.html#the-mandatory-qpromise-argument), QtConcurrent::run() will rearrange all the arguments to produce something like the following:

QPromise<void> promise;
gridData->interpolate(promise, xValues, yValues, fwhmValues, xg, yg, zgFWHM, GridData::InterpolationType::GRID_NNIDW, 10.f);
return promise;

@JonB I tried all sorts of stuff around what you suggested, and I've now made interpolate a static member function of GridData.

However, I still can't get it to compile (even though GridData::interpolate is now just a common C++ function ptr AFAIK.

future = QtConcurrent::run(GridData::interpolate, xValues, yValues, fwhmValues, xg, yg, zgFWHM, GridData::InterpolationType::GRID_NNIDW, 10.f);

gets me this mess of errors:

@Perdrix
While you await an expert, or someone to test (I am not at Qt at this time). If I wanted to investigate further, I would export a test member method from GridData without the QPromise and with no parameters. And get that working. Supposedly in Qt6:

class GridData {
public:
void test() const {}
};

QtConcurrent::run(&GridData::test, gridDataInstancePointer);

as per the answers in e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70054114/how-to-run-a-member-function-in-qtconcurrent-in-qt6.

If that works start adding in some parameters to test() and then the QPromise.

The full horrid set of errors is too large to post here :(
So I've placed it on my website as a text file:
http://www.perdrix.co.uk/QtConcurrentRunErrors.txt

Even the totally trivial case:

       //void test([[maybe_unused]]QPromise<void>& promise) const {}
       void test() const {}

invoked with:

future = QtConcurrent::run(&GridData::test, gridData);

fails:

@Perdrix said in Trying to use QFuture and QFutureWatcher for the first time:

QtConcurrent::run(&GridData::test, gridData);

Just in case your version of Qt does not have this apparent "parameter order swap for member methods introduced at Qt6", did you just verify it's not:

QtConcurrent::run(gridData, &GridData::test);

Just to be sure :)

In a moment I will type in the simplest case in my Qt6/gcc and verify....

Perdrix

Hmmm I doubt that's the issue as this is 6.10.0. However I changed that invocation:

future = QtConcurrent::run(gridData, &GridData::test);

and got this:

The following example compiles fine just as I expected:

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QtConcurrent>

void func1()
{

}

class AClass
{
public:
    void func2() const {}
    void func3(int arg1, float arg2) const {}
    void func4(QPromise<void> &promise, int arg1, float arg2) const {}
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    QFuture<void> fut1 = QtConcurrent::run(func1);

    AClass *instance(new AClass);

    QFuture<void> fut2 = QtConcurrent::run(&AClass::func2, instance);

    QFuture<void> fut3 = QtConcurrent::run(&AClass::func3, instance, 42, 42.0f);
    
    QFuture<void> fut4 = QtConcurrent::run(&AClass::func4, instance, 42, 42.0f);

    return a.exec();
}

gcc 13.3.0 and Qt 6.4.2 as supplied with Ubuntu 24.04 distro.

OK I've reduced the replication to a relatively simple case:

You can find the source files here:
http://www.perdrix.co.uk/TestQtConcurrent.zip

If you want the entire MSVC solution, say so and I will zip that up and make it available.

@Perdrix
Can't you start by just copy/paste my code and say whether that works or not....?!

Perdrix

I did precisely that and then extended it until I got a fail.

JonB

@Perdrix Ah, well it helps if you say that! I will have a look at your code to see if I can spot something different.....

JonB

@Perdrix said in Trying to use QFuture and QFutureWatcher for the first time:

If I just open it in Chrome nothing happens.
If I force it to download (it seems to start but never finishes) I get about 4k and then it stops.
If you want someone to access this then please verify it works for you from an incognito browsing session....
UPDATE OK, although the download does not finish properly if I rename the temporary .crdownload file to .zip it seems to have content....

Perdrix

The zip file is only 4kB... - worked for me in an incognito Chrome session on Windows, but did bitch that it wasn't https ...

@Perdrix
So I have copied/pasted the 3 files you supply into their own project.

I don't even see how what you have supplied would compile. In griddata.h there are two errors:

No template named QPromise
Use of undeclared identifier std

These are both visible in Creator. And make sense to me, as the necessary includes are not in griddata.h. That is improved with the addition of #include <QPromise> in griddata.h. (And I had to comment out a couple of other includes.)

Now I think I am down to a couple of compilation error messages like you have been showing. I will investigate further... :)

The zip file is only 4kB...

I know! But for whatever reason my Chrome does not complete the download of this file from you. It seems to get the full content but never sees it finish, so does not rename the temporary download file to the intended .zip. But doing that manually I seem to have the full zip so I am good.

Perdrix

Don't need a template GridData only uses a reference: QPrimose<void>& promise but won't harm to include it.

Don't need to do anything for std:: stuff, so long as you call it out by its full name

JonB

@Perdrix

@Perdrix said in Trying to use QFuture and QFutureWatcher for the first time:

    void
        interpolate(QPromise<void>& promise,
            const std::vector<double>& x, const std::vector<double>& y, const std::vector<double>& z,
            const std::vector<double>& xg, const std::vector<double>& yg, std::vector<double>& zg,
            InterpolationType type, float data = 0.0);

All the other std::vector<double>&s are const, but not the final zg one. Intended or not? This is the error.

If you make that one const too it compiles.

If you test just

void
GridData::interpolate2(QPromise<void>& promise,
                       const std::vector<double> &x)

QFuture<void>future2 = QtConcurrent::run(&GridData::interpolate2, instance.get(), xValues);

That works. But take out the const and it fails.

You could have reduced it down to just this parameter type, nothing to do with all the member methods:

void func1(QPromise<void>& promise, std::vector<double> &xValues)
{
}

QFuture<void> fut1 = QtConcurrent::run(func1, xValues);

std::vector<double> &xValues does not pass. Either (or both) of adding in const or removing the & do pass.

I don't use std::vector and am going leave it to you now. You may need e.g. @Christian-Ehrlicher to explain the deep reason. I am not sure anyway about accessing non-const reference to arrays in the thread(s) run by QtConcurrent. As I wrote, if you can change yours to const std::vector<double>& zg or std::vector<double> zg it won't matter. Though of course we would like to hear from a C++ expert for the definitive explanation!

Phew!

And, yes, no, C++ compiler errors, especially with templates, are not the simplest.

P.S.
Just this fails in same way:

void func1(QPromise<void>& promise, int &test)
{
}

int test;
QtConcurrent::run(func1, test);

And again changing func1() to either const int &test or int test works. So nothing to do with std::vector. You evidently cannot pass a mutable reference parameter here, I am thinking QtConcurrent::run() does not allow this because of threading/need to copy requirements? Now that we knows this is the issue we find e.g.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25091518/qt-concurrent-run-pass-value-by-reference-but-the-memory-address-is-different

QtConcurrent::run creates internal copies of all arguments that you pass to it. Your thread function is then given access to these copies, not to the original arguments. Passing something by raw reference does not prevent creation of a copy. In other words, QtConcurrent::run enforces pass-by-value semantics internally.

The address that you see in the ref function is the address of that internal copy.

For this reason, if you specifically want access to the original object, instead of a naked reference you have to use something with pointer semantics or with "copyable reference" semantics.

That was a few years ago. Perhaps the definitions/compiler now show an attempt to pass a non-const reference as a compile-time error where it used to get through but then did not act as expected?

Perdrix

Argh! I need that to be a non const vector reference, as the interpolate code populates that vector.

@JonB Thanks for finding out what was stopping it working! I'd never have guessed that was the problem.

I've updated the files so it should compile OK on Linux, and refreshed the zip file:
http://www.perdrix.co.uk/TestQtConcurrent.zip
@Christian-Ehrlicher Can you advise please?

Meantime I will change the code to use std::ref(zgEccentricity).

UPDATE: using std::ref(zgEccentricity) worked fine. May I suggest that some documentation updates to say you can't pass a non-const thing using a normal reference and that using std::ref might be useful. Either that or?
