[Qt-interest] QRunnable question

[Philippe]

This should work.

Note: because of an API design flaw that Nokia does not want to admit, you won't be able to sleep in your QRunnable code, by using QThread::sleep(...) since this API is "Static protected". Or you have to trick the API.

Apart that, the thread pool is a nice API that works very well for me.

Forgot to add that I have already considered QtConcurrent. Spent a lot time on it, learnt, implemented but later found out that only sequence that it works on are QList and QVector or sequential containers. I have my task using QMap, an associative one, so that leaves me stranded...
