Multiple start() on same QThread Object

[mdecandia]

Hi all,
can I run multiple start() method on same QThread object ?

Simple example follows:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
        QCoreApplication app(argc,argv);
        threadHandler *TH=new threadHandler();
        TH.start()
        TH.start()
 
        return app.exec();
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
        QCoreApplication app(argc,argv);
        threadHandler *TH=new threadHandler();
        TH.start()
        TH.start()

        return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This code executes the two run() methods as two serial executions.
Is this correct? Do you have experience in this?

Thanks,
Michele

No, only the first call will be effective.
If you call start() a second time while the thread is running, it will do nothing !

You can use the same class, but two objects, to get two threads. Myabe this is what you want.

Am I correct if I suppose this means that start() can be called several times IF the run() method has returned between the calls?

Yes, you can start the thread again when it has already finished.
