QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type

First you should get your code compiling and running correctly as per @ChrisW67. You will need to use the Q_OBJECT macro., and you should use connect() syntax shown, not SIGNAL/SLOT() macros.

But you may end up needing to reconsider your array/list arguments to the signal/slot. I assume you are signalling across threads. Qt will copy any arguments. If your array is "large" or if you intend to update the array in the slot (not just read from it) you may/will need to reconsider.

it compiles and runs, but

QObject::connect: Cannot queue arguments of type 'QList<float>'
(Make sure 'QList<float>' is registered using qRegisterMetaType().)

shows on console while running

@micha_eleric Which version of Qt are you running ?

been asked this before, and still no clue how to find out. All I can find is the version of the editor.

Which version of Qt am I using? How do I find out?

instructions do not work for my version of QT Create, and once i did find preference->kit->kit, nothing was listed under auto-detected nor manual

That sounds very strange.

What do you see when you try Step #2 in the instructions?

lol, second step also gave no version, but can find editor version elsewhere
Qt Creator 6.0.2
Based on Qt 5.15.3 (GCC 11.2.0, 64 bit)

This is meaningless. It's the Qt version which was used to build your QtCreator version.

How are your build folders named? In some case they are named by default like:
build_<Projectname>_<QtX_X_X>_<Compiler>_<Architecture>

There you also can find out what Qt version you are using

again nothing of use, "build-GraphicsView-Desktop-Debug"

@micha_eleric well, after pecking around, i found:
Qt 4.8.7 in PATH (qt4) /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake
Qt 5.15.3 in PATH (qt5) /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmake
Qt 5.15.3 in PATH (System) /usr/bin/qmake

i found another post that said to add

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QList<qfloat16>)

but still gave same error while running.

@micha_eleric If you are on Ubuntu 22.04 (a guess on my part), have not installed a Qt version separately from that installed by Ubuntu, and everything is up-to-date then you are using Qt 5.15.3.

Open a terminal and type qmake -v

QMake version 3.1

micha_eleric

in .h file, but only in one .h file

Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(QList<qfloat16>)


//data
int id;

in .cpp file, constructor

id = qRegisterMetaType< QList<qfloat16> >();

@micha_eleric Impossible! My demo runs fine and I'm using Qt version 5.6
