Type Documentation
enum class QtConcurrent::FutureResult
This enum type is used to invoke a special overload of QtConcurrent::QTaskBuilder::spawn(QtConcurrent::FutureResult) that doesn't return a future object.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
QtConcurrent::FutureResult::Ignore | 0 | An auxiliary tag which introduced to improve code readability. |
[alias]
InvokeResultType
The simplified definition of this type looks like this:
template <class Task, class ...Args> using InvokeResultType = std::invoke_result_t<std::decay_t<Task>, std::decay_t<Args>...>;
The real implementation also contains a compile-time check for whether the task can be invoked with the specified arguments or not.
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> QFuture<void> QtConcurrent::filter(QThreadPool *pool, Sequence &sequence, KeepFunctor &&filterFunction)
Calls filterFunction once for each item in sequence. All calls to filterFunction are invoked from the threads taken from the QThreadPool pool. If filterFunction returns true
, the item is kept in sequence; otherwise, the item is removed from sequence.
Note that this method doesn't have an overload working with iterators, because it invalidates the iterators of the sequence it operates on.
See also Concurrent Filter and Filter-Reduce.
template <typename Sequence, typename KeepFunctor> QFuture<void> QtConcurrent::filter(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 that this method doesn't have an overload working with iterators, because it invalidates the iterators of the sequence it operates on.

template <typename ResultType, typename Sequence, typename KeepFunctor, typename ReduceFunctor> QFuture<ResultType> QtConcurrent::filteredReduced(QThreadPool *pool, Sequence &&sequence, KeepFunctor &&filterFunction, ReduceFunctor &&reduceFunction, QtConcurrent::ReduceOptions reduceOptions = ReduceOptions(UnorderedReduce | SequentialReduce))
Calls filterFunction once for each item in sequence. All calls to filterFunction are invoked from the threads taken from the QThreadPool pool. 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.

Calls filterFunction once for each item in sequence. All calls to filterFunction are invoked from the threads taken from the QThreadPool pool. 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

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.
In basic mode T is the same type as the return value of function. Non-void return values can be accessed via the QFuture::result() function.
In basic mode 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.
In run with promise mode, the function is expected to return void and must take an additional argument of QPromise<T> &
type, placed as a first argument in function's argument list. T is the result type and it is the same for the returned QFuture<T>
.
In run with promise mode, similar to basic mode, the QFuture returned can be used to query for the running/finished status and the value reported by the function. In addition, it may be used for suspending or canceling the running task, fetching multiple results from the called function or monitoring progress reported by the function.
