Two threads in a console application

[amleto]

Let start with:

while(getchar() != '\n') QCoreApplication::processEvents();
loop->start();

while(getchar() != '\n') QCoreApplication::processEvents();
loop->start();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

loop->start() will never get called since you didn't use scope for the while().

start will be called when the condition is false.
