No matching function for call to QObject::connect
-
I'm trying to compile this code inside a constructor of a class named
MyClass:QTimer *timer = new QTimer; timer->setInterval(0); QObject::connect(timer, &QTimer::timeout, [this](){ //Do some stuff }); timer->start();This compiles just fine in Visual Studio on Windows. But with GCC on Linux it gives the error "no matching function for call to 'MyClass::connect(QTimer*&, void(QTimer::*)(QTimer::QPrivateSignal), MyClass::MyClass()::<lambda()>)'. What should I do?

I found the problem. I had to activate C++11, which is not activated be default. In Qt Creator, I had to add the following line:
CONFIG += c++11 -

@Donald-Duck It's probably because QTimer::timeout is a private signal, the new style syntax can't access it. If that's the case you have to use the old SIGNAL/SLOT syntax without lambda.

Regarding to the 0-timer I don't know why you need to have a 0-timer in a constructor, but in the doc of QTimer it says to 0-timers http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtimer.html#details:This is the traditional way of implementing heavy work in GUI applications, but as multithreading is nowadays becoming available on more and more platforms, we expect that zero-millisecond QTimer objects will gradually be replaced by QThreads.
Otherwise you can use the startTimer() function of the QObject class

Hi,
Which version of Qt are you using in each OS ?
Also, aren't you missing
#include <QTimer>in your .cpp file ? -

@Donald-Duck Probably, you are using older version of Qt on your Linux that doesn't understand the newer format of QObject::connect statement. Try with older format.
