[Interest] QTimer stops triggering

[Vannoote, Frederik]

Hey all,

 

 

 

I'm having a weird thing about Qtimer which I can't explain until now.

We are using a dedicated application to kick the processor watchdog.
This application is based on a QTimer. Basically, it only has to call an
ioctl once every 30 seconds. This is the only thing the application
does.

 

We see that after a random time, the QTimer stops triggering. We have
proven that it does not get stuck somewhere, it just does not get
scheduled any more.

I've replaced the code with a while loop instead of the QT event loop.
That seems to be running fine.

 

 

Can anyone help me explain how this is possible?

 

 

 

Thanks,

Frederik
