[Qt-interest] concurrent-run of a static function

Gabriele -

It's not clear to me what you are asking.

"Execute async."?  I suppose you mean execute a function asynchronously, by
which I suppose you mean execute a function in another thread.

The next question is "static function".  I suppose this could either
mean a static
member function of a class, or a free function (that is, a function
that is not a
member of a class).  These two cases are basically the same.

It is possible to execute both a free function and a static member function from
a thread -- you just call it.

E.g.

   int returnZero { return 0; }  // free function

   class A {
      public:
         static int returnOne() { return 1; }
   };

   class B : public QThread {
      public:
         void run() {
            int i = getZero();
            int j = A::getOne();
         }
   };

   // some code...
   B *b = new B;
   b->start();   // this will call getZero() and getOne() in the new thread

(Of course, this example doesn't really do much, but you get the idea...)

If you are asking something different (that is, asking not about
simply executing
a function from a thread), then you will have to elaborate so we can understand
what you're looking for.

Good luck.

(Is there some way you could turn off "ACK" message?  It would help clean
up the list traffic a little if you could.  Thanks.)
