[Development] QFutureInterface

[Bauer, Christian]

Hello,

There was a discussion about the "internal" class QFutureInterface a few months ago on this list [1] about making QFuture/QFutureInterface more like std::future/std::promise in C++11.
It seems this is not going to happen before Qt 6.

We have a use case for a promise though and the current QFutureInterface is not sufficient. A custom wrapper for the QFutureInterface solves this problem for now, but requires a patch of Qt.

I am wondering if you are willing to incorporate this patch into the official Qt release. It's about adding a getter to QFutureInterfaceBase for the d pointer QWaitCondition. Such a getter already exists inside the QFutureInterfaceBase for the d pointer QMutex.

Thanks
 Christian
