[Qt-interest] QAtomicInt and QThread

[Francisco Gonzalez]

Hi,

this example compiles and run ok, but is it correct?

//code

#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <QObject>
#include <QTimer>
#include <QThread>
#include <QAtomicInt>
#include <QDebug>

class Object :public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    Object(QObject *parent =0):QObject(parent),m_count(0),m_follow(1){}
signals:
    void finished();
public slots:
    void loop() {
        qDebug() << "Loop Started";
        while (m_follow==1)
        {
            m_count++;
        }
        qDebug() << m_count;
        emit finished();
    }
    void reset() {
        m_follow=0;
    }
    quint64 read() {
        quint64 result = m_count;
        qDebug() << result;
        return result;
    }

private:
    quint64 m_count;
    QAtomicInt m_follow;
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTimer timeToStop;
    QTimer timeToRead;
    QThread thread;
    Object object;
    timeToStop.setInterval(10000);
    timeToRead.setInterval(1000);
    QObject::connect(&thread,SIGNAL(started()),&object,SLOT(loop()));
    QObject::connect(&timeToRead,
SIGNAL(timeout()),&object,SLOT(read()), Qt::DirectConnection);
    QObject::connect(&timeToStop,SIGNAL(timeout()),&object,SLOT(reset()),Qt::DirectConnection);
    QObject::connect(&object,SIGNAL(finished()),&thread,SLOT(quit()));
    QObject::connect(&thread,SIGNAL(finished()),&a,SLOT(quit()));
    object.moveToThread(&thread);
    timeToStop.start();
    timeToRead.start();
    thread.start();

    return a.exec();
}

#include "main.moc"
// end code
