[Interest] Segmentation fault on exiting Qt event loop

[Andrew Ialacci]

Wow, Yes!

I forgot to include actually killing the threads first before checking if they are running. Oops…

Assuming each threads quit() is called and all operations are stopped in each thread correctly is using a loop and sleep still ok?

Which you shouldn't do.

What I ended up doing was sleeping the main thread until each worker threads isRunning() return false;
I’d love to know if this is the //best// solution to this problem but from what I’ve found it works very well.

Nope. Call QThread::quit or QThread::requestInterruption (depending on whether you have a running event loop in the thread(s)). And wait for them with QThread::wait before allowing the QThread objects to be destroyed.
