How to correctly Connect from qthreadpool

[SGaist]

Hi,

Do you mean from your QRunnable subclass ?

Hy,
thats what i mean.

i have implemented a QRunnable to do that work.
Then i loop through a list were the params in, create an object, connect the signal and slot, and start the work with pool->start().

But all i get is "Function recv() failed" on console but no entrie in my list.
Is that correct? Or shall i implement an own kind of threadpool?

regards,

Since you have a list of parameters that you iterate, why not use QtConcurrent::map and QFutureWatcher ?

You'll have the progress indication for free.

I know Threadpools from python and thought it works the same way.
But ok i will give that a shot.

QImage scaled(const QImage &image)
{
return image.scaled(100, 100);
}

QList<QImage> images = ...;
QFuture<QImage> thumbnails = QtConcurrent::mapped(images, scaled);

like that?

Thx

Yes, adding a QFutureWatcher in the mix.

@SGaist
hey is there also a way to get the already compute results while running?
So i want to update the gui, as soon as an results is computed.
Or isnt it a good idea?

@PXLFuSSeL You get the result from QFuture and then update the GUI. Using QFutureWatcher (as @SGaist suggested) you also get notification when a job is finished and then use QFuture to get the result.

[PXLFuSSeL]

@jsulm yes that is implemented, but i am interested in getting a result as soon as it is calculated, because am working with really big lists

[SGaist]

As already hinted twice, QFutureWatcher is your friend.

[PXLFuSSeL]

@SGaist yes, thx, my fault was trying to iterate through the future until not be ready.
now i got what i want, not as fast as i want, but it works stable.
