Worker thread doesn't seem to start event loop?

The thing is that I need them because I test my algorithms performances for some research and they all have a computational budget of X seconds. So I need QTimers for each to use that precise amount of time and not more...

Looks like you want some time based scheduling which makes sure that algorithm doe not run for more than X seconds. or may you just want to measure the time consumed by each algorithm. In either cases QTimer will not help, you have use QTime

QTime t;
t.start();
some_lengthy_task();
qDebug("Time elapsed: %d ms", t.elapsed());

QTime t;
t.start();
some_lengthy_task();
qDebug("Time elapsed: %d ms", t.elapsed());

That's perfect ! I didn't know about QTime, this should do the trick !
Thanks again for everything

Or even QElapsedTimer if you don't need to convert into hours/minutes/seconds and just want the most efficient class http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtc...psedtimer.html

Indeed, it's even better for my use! Thank you
