QTimer and QThread

[TheKedge]

Hello,
I've got QThread sub-classed with run() re-implemented thus:

void Logger::run()
{
	QTimer* timer = new QTimer();
	timer->setInterval(updateIntervalSeconds*1000);
	connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(doJob()));
	timer->start();
 
	exec();
	timer->stop();
 
	delete timer;
	return;
}

void Logger::run()
{
	QTimer* timer = new QTimer();
	timer->setInterval(updateIntervalSeconds*1000);
	connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(doJob()));
	timer->start();

	exec();
	timer->stop();

	delete timer;
	return;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

where doJob() is a func that contains stuff to be done. The doJob() func gets called as excpected but when ending the thread I get a crash that points to the timer->stop(). Commenting that out the crash points at the delete timer; commenting that out, the crash points to run()s end brace.

I get a Qt message QThread object destroyed while thread is still running, but I call the quit() func before deleting the object. what's going on?

thanks
K
