[Qt-interest] emit signal from spawned thread

[Guido Seifert]

By reading the documentation of QtConcurrentRun?

The object, which 'spawns' your thread (actually takes a thread from
the thread pool) is _not_ the thread object. So connecting signals
does not make much sense. Regardless where you put your connects.

>From the docs:
> To run a function in another thread, use QtConcurrent::run():

>  extern void aFunction();
>  QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(aFunction);

> This will run aFunction in a separate thread obtained from the default
> QThreadPool. You can use the QFuture and QFutureWatcher classes to
> monitor the status of the function.

I did not look much deeper and might have missed a trick, but I doubt
you can use QtConcurrentRun the way you want to.
