Using pthreads for a front end

[kachofool]

Hi all,

I'm designing a GUI front end for a multi threaded linux application. I don't have much sway on the application itself. The threading is implemented with pthreads.

I had some questions on how I should proceed.

* Can I continue to only use pthreads? The GUI only needs to run member functions which launch threads.

* I read that the GUI app needs to be launched from the 'main' thread... does this only apply if I'm using qthreads? Can I have one thread dedicated to the GUI and that's it? Currently the GUI doesn't do much outside of linking buttons to functions.

TiA,

Hi.
Normaly you can use pthread with Qt as long as you don't use a QOBject. But the main thread should be use to run GUI.

And if you use pthread, you lost the Qt signal/slot between thread.
