Detailed Description
See the Qt Concurrent module documentation for an overview of available functions, or see below for detailed information on each function.
Type Documentation
enum QtConcurrent::ReduceOption
flags QtConcurrent::ReduceOptions
This enum specifies the order of which results from the map or filter function are passed to the reduce function.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
QtConcurrent::UnorderedReduce | 0x1 | Reduction is done in an arbitrary order. |
QtConcurrent::OrderedReduce | 0x2 | Reduction is done in the order of the original sequence. |
QtConcurrent::SequentialReduce | 0x4 | Reduction is done sequentially: only one thread will enter the reduce function at a time. (Parallel reduction might be supported in a future version of Qt Concurrent.) |
The ReduceOptions type is a typedef for QFlags<ReduceOption>. It stores an OR combination of ReduceOption values.
Function Documentation
template <typename Sequence, typename KeepFunctor> void QtConcurrent::blockingFilter(Sequence &sequence, KeepFunctor filterFunction)
Calls filterFunction once for each item in sequence. If filterFunction returns true, the item is kept in sequence; otherwise, the item is removed from sequence.
Note: This function will block until all items in the sequence have been processed.
See also Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce.
template <typename Sequence, typename KeepFunctor> Sequence QtConcurrent::blockingFiltered(const Sequence &sequence, KeepFunctor filterFunction)
Calls filterFunction once for each item in sequence and returns a new Sequence of kept items. If filterFunction returns true, a copy of the item is put in the new Sequence. Otherwise, the item will not appear in the new Sequence.
Note: This function will block until all items in the sequence have been processed.
See also filtered() and Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce.
template <typename OutputSequence, typename Iterator, typename KeepFunctor> OutputSequence QtConcurrent::blockingFiltered(Iterator begin, Iterator end, KeepFunctor filterFunction)
Calls filterFunction once for each item from begin to end and returns a new Sequence of kept items. If filterFunction returns true, a copy of the item is put in the new Sequence. Otherwise, the item will not appear in the new Sequence.
Note: This function will block until the iterator reaches the end of the sequence being processed.
See also filtered() and Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce.
template <typename ResultType, typename Sequence, typename KeepFunctor, typename ReduceFunctor> ResultType QtConcurrent::blockingFilteredReduced(const Sequence &sequence, KeepFunctor filterFunction, ReduceFunctor reduceFunction, ReduceOptions reduceOptions = ReduceOptions(UnorderedReduce | SequentialReduce))
Calls filterFunction once for each item in sequence. If filterFunction returns true for an item, that item is then passed to reduceFunction. In other words, the return value is the result of reduceFunction for each item where filterFunction returns true.
Note that while filterFunction is called concurrently, only one thread at a time will call reduceFunction. The order in which reduceFunction is called is undefined if reduceOptions is QtConcurrent::UnorderedReduce. If reduceOptions is QtConcurrent::OrderedReduce, reduceFunction is called in the order of the original sequence.
Note: This function will block until all items in the sequence have been processed.
See also filteredReduced() and Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce.
template <typename ResultType, typename Iterator, typename KeepFunctor, typename ReduceFunctor> ResultType QtConcurrent::blockingFilteredReduced(Iterator begin, Iterator end, KeepFunctor filterFunction, ReduceFunctor reduceFunction, ReduceOptions reduceOptions = ReduceOptions(UnorderedReduce | SequentialReduce))
Calls filterFunction once for each item from begin to end. If filterFunction returns true for an item, that item is then passed to reduceFunction. In other words, the return value is the result of reduceFunction for each item where filterFunction returns true.
Note that while filterFunction is called concurrently, only one thread at a time will call reduceFunction. The order in which reduceFunction is called is undefined if reduceOptions is QtConcurrent::UnorderedReduce. If reduceOptions is QtConcurrent::OrderedReduce, the reduceFunction is called in the order of the original sequence.
Note: This function will block until the iterator reaches the end of the sequence being processed.
See also filteredReduced() and Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce.
template <typename Sequence, typename MapFunctor> void QtConcurrent::blockingMap(Sequence &sequence, MapFunctor function)
Calls function once for each item in sequence. The function is passed a reference to the item, so that any modifications done to the item will appear in sequence.
Note: This function will block until all items in the sequence have been processed.
See also map() and Concurrent Map and Map-Reduce.
template <typename Iterator, typename MapFunctor> void QtConcurrent::blockingMap(Iterator begin, Iterator end, MapFunctor function)
Calls function once for each item from begin to end. The function is passed a reference to the item, so that any modifications done to the item will appear in the sequence which the iterators belong to.
Note: This function will block until the iterator reaches the end of the sequence being processed.
See also map() and Concurrent Map and Map-Reduce.
template <typename OutputSequence, typename InputSequence, typename MapFunctor> OutputSequence QtConcurrent::blockingMapped(const InputSequence &sequence, MapFunctor function)
Calls function once for each item in sequence and returns an OutputSequence containing the results. The type of the results will match the type returned my the MapFunctor.
Note: This function will block until all items in the sequence have been processed.
See also mapped() and Concurrent Map and Map-Reduce.
template <typename Sequence, typename Iterator, typename MapFunctor> Sequence QtConcurrent::blockingMapped(Iterator begin, Iterator end, MapFunctor function)
Calls function once for each item from begin to end and returns a container with the results. Specify the type of container as the a template argument, like this:
QList<int> ints = QtConcurrent::blockingMapped<QList<int> >(beginIterator, endIterator, fn);
Note: This function will block until the iterator reaches the end of the sequence being processed.

Note that while mapFunction is called concurrently, only one thread at a time will call reduceFunction. The order in which reduceFunction is called is determined by reduceOptions.
Note: This function will block until all items in the sequence have been processed.
See also mapped() and Concurrent Map and Map-Reduce.
template <typename ResultType, typename Iterator, typename MapFunctor, typename ReduceFunctor> ResultType QtConcurrent::blockingMappedReduced(Iterator begin, Iterator end, MapFunctor mapFunction, ReduceFunctor reduceFunction, QtConcurrent::ReduceOptions reduceOptions = QtConcurrent::ReduceOptions(QtConcurrent::UnorderedReduce | QtConcurrent::SequentialReduce))

template <typename T> QFuture<T> QtConcurrent::run(Function function, ...)
Equivalent to
QtConcurrent::run(QThreadPool::globalInstance(), function, ...);
Runs function in a separate thread. The thread is taken from the global QThreadPool. Note that function may not run immediately; function will only be run once a thread becomes available.
T is the same type as the return value of function. Non-void return values can be accessed via the QFuture::result() function.
Note: The QFuture returned can only be used to query for the running/finished status and the return value of the function. In particular, canceling or pausing can be issued only if the computations behind the future has not been started.
See also Concurrent Run and QThreadPool::start().
template <typename T> QFuture<T> QtConcurrent::run(QThreadPool *pool, Function function, ...)
Schedules function on pool. Note that function may not run immediately; function will only be run once a thread becomes available.
T is the same type as the return value of function. Non-void return values can be accessed via the QFuture::result() function.
Note: The QFuture returned can only be used to query for the running/finished status and the return value of the function. In particular, canceling or pausing can be issued only if the computations behind the future has not been started.
This function was introduced in Qt 5.4.
