Threading Classes

These Qt Core classes provide threading support to applications. The Thread Support in Qt page covers how to use these classes.

Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce

Concurrent Map and Map-Reduce

Concurrent Run

QAtomicInteger

Platform-independent atomic operations on integers

QAtomicPointer

Template class that provides platform-independent atomic operations on pointers

QFuture

Represents the result of an asynchronous computation

QFutureSynchronizer

Convenience class that simplifies QFuture synchronization

QFutureWatcher

Allows monitoring a QFuture using signals and slots

QMutex

Access serialization between threads

QMutexLocker

Convenience class that simplifies locking and unlocking mutexes

QReadLocker

Convenience class that simplifies locking and unlocking read-write locks for read access

QReadWriteLock

Read-write locking

QRecursiveMutex

Access serialization between threads

QRunnable

The base class for all runnable objects

QSemaphore

General counting semaphore

QSemaphoreReleaser

Exception-safe deferral of a QSemaphore::release() call

QThread

Platform-independent way to manage threads

QThreadPool

Manages a collection of QThreads

QThreadStorage

Per-thread data storage

QWaitCondition

Condition variable for synchronizing threads

QWriteLocker

Convenience class that simplifies locking and unlocking read-write locks for write access

QtConcurrent

High-level APIs that make it possible to write multi-threaded programs without using low-level threading primitives
