[solved] linking error when setting up signals and slots within a thread

[kpks]

Hello,

I have a tcpServer class calling a thread when there is an incoming connection; The thread in-turn creates a tcpSocket and waits for data. I want the data to be analyzed/plotted. I tried setting up a signal on readyread connection to a slot defined in the thread.
@void listenWriteThread::run()
{
QTcpSocket tcpSocket;
if (!tcpSocket.setSocketDescriptor(socketDescriptor)) {
emit error(tcpSocket.error());
return;
}

connect(tcpSocket,SIGNAL(readyRead()),this,SLOT(analyzeThis()));@

I get a No-matching function error:
D:\kpks\software\tcpComm\listenWriteThread.cpp:18: error: no matching function for call to 'listenWriteThread::connect(QTcpSocket&, const char*, listenWriteThread* const, const char*)'
connect(tcpSocket,SIGNAL(tcpSocket.readyRead()),this,SLOT(analyzeThis()));

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks and Regards,
kpks

Sorry! That was atrocious doubt! I just forgot to make tcpSocket a pointer :(

I changed my thread definition to have socket as a pointer:

@class listenWriteThread : public QThread
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
listenWriteThread(int socketDescriptor, const QString &fortune, QObject *parent);

void run();

public slots:
void analyzeThis();
signals:
void error(QTcpSocket::SocketError socketError);

private:
QTcpSocket* tcpSocket;
int socketDescriptor;
QString text;
};@

I have a new problem though, the connection is fine and my C client is sending data every 100ms but qt does nothing! My qt application is tcpComm.exe

Then I get a windows error saying
"the tcpCOmm.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close "

Should I make this a separate thread?

Hi,

Did you initialize tcpSocket properly ? Did you update your run function ?
