QException Class

The QException class provides a base class for exceptions that can be transferred across threads. More...

Detailed Description

Qt Concurrent supports throwing and catching exceptions across thread boundaries, provided that the exception inherits from QException and implements two helper functions:

 class MyException : public QException
 {
 public:
     void raise() const override { throw *this; }
     MyException *clone() const override { return new MyException(*this); }
 };

QException subclasses must be thrown by value and caught by reference:

 try  {
     QtConcurrent::blockingMap(list, throwFunction); // throwFunction throws MyException
 } catch (MyException &e) {
     // handle exception
 }

If you throw an exception that is not a subclass of QException, the Qt Concurrent functions will throw a QUnhandledException in the receiver thread.

When using QFuture, transferred exceptions will be thrown when calling the following functions:

`[virtual]` QException *QException::clone() const

In your QException subclass, reimplement clone() like this:

 MyException *MyException::clone() const { return new MyException(*this); }

`[virtual]` void QException::raise() const

In your QException subclass, reimplement raise() like this:

 void MyException::raise() const { throw *this; }
