Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class QFutureWatcher< T >

The QFutureWatcher class allows monitoring a QFuture using signals and slots. QFutureWatcher provides information and notifications about a QFuture. Use the setFuture() method to start watching a particular QFuture. The future() method returns the future which was set by calling setFuture().

Status changes are reported via the started(), finished(), canceled(), paused(), resumed(), resultReadyAt(), and resultsReadyAt() signals. Progress information is provided from the progressRangeChanged(), progressValueChanged(), and progressTextChanged() signals.

Throttling control is provided by the setPendingResultsLimit() method. When the number of pending resultReadyAt() or resultsReadyAt() signals exceeds the specified limit the computation represented by the future will be throttled automatically. The computation will resume once the number of pending signals drops below the limit.

Not all computations can be canceled or paused. For example, the future returned by QtConcurrent::run() can not be canceled, however the future returned by QtConcurrent::mappedReduced() can be canceled or paused.

Several of the QFuture methods are also available in this class.

Example

The following example shows starting a computation and getting a slot callback when it is finished.

// Instantiate the objects and connect to the finished signal.
MyClass myObject;
QFutureWatcher<int> watcher;
connect(&watcher, SIGNAL(finished()), &myObject, SLOT(handleFinished()));
 
// Start the computation.
QFuture<int> future = QtConcurrent::run(...);
watcher.setFuture(future);

QFutureWatcher<void> is specialized to not contain any of the result fetching functions. Any QFuture<T> can be watched by a QFutureWatcher<void> as well. This is useful if only status or progress information is needed, not the actual result data.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T >

QFutureWatcher< T >::QFutureWatcher ( QObject * parent = nullptr )

inline

Constructs a new QFutureWatcher with the given parent.

template<typename T >

QFutureWatcher< T >::~QFutureWatcher ( )

inline

Destroys the QFutureWatcher.

Method Documentation

template<typename T >

QFuture< T > QFutureWatcher< T >::future ( ) const

inline

Returns the watched future.

See also: setFuture()

template<typename T >

T QFutureWatcher< T >::result ( ) const

inline

Returns the first result in the future(). If the result is not immediately available, this method will block and wait for the result to become available. Equivalent to calling resultAt(0).

See also: resultAt()

template<typename T >

T QFutureWatcher< T >::resultAt ( int index ) const

inline

Returns the result at index in the future(). If the result is not immediately available, this method will block and wait for the result to become available.

See also: result()

template<typename T >

void QFutureWatcher< T >::setFuture ( const QFuture< T > & future )

inline

Starts watching the given future.

One of the signals might be emitted for the current state of the future. For example, if the future is already stopped, the finished signal will be emitted.

To avoid a race condition it is important to call this function after doing the connections.
