QObject::runInBackgroundThread

Simple, non-template QObject member functions, available on all platforms:

runInBackgroundThread(const char * slot, ... args);
runInObjectThread(const char * slot, ... args);
cancelAll();

• Monitors the event loop queue and ajusts the number of threads to prevent overloading the ObjectThread.
• Blocks until all tasks have finised when the object is deleted.

Example:
void ImageViewer::loadFiles(const QStringList &files)
{
foreach (QString &file, files)
runInBackgroundThread("decodeFile", Q_ARG(QString, file));
}

QImage ImageViewer::decodeFile(const QString &fileName)
{
QImage image(fileName);
runInObjectThread("addImage", Q_ARG(QImage, image));
}

void ImageViewer::addImage(const QImage &image)
{
layout()->addWidget(new QLabel(image));
update();
}

Distributed programming add-on
runInDistributedThread(const char * slot, ... args);
