Thank you @Alex F for your suggestion.
Here is what I tried then:
#include <QApplication>
#include <QThread>
#include "mydialog.h"
#include <QDebug>
void foo()
{
// simulkate a long work
qDebug() << " Starting Qthread1 ..." ;
QThread::msleep(5000);
}
void bar()
{
qDebug() << " Starting Qthread2 ..." ;
QThread::msleep(2000);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QThread* thread1 = QThread::create(foo);
QThread* thread2 = QThread::create(bar);
// to verify at real-time when the thread finishes
QObject::connect(thread1, &QThread::finished, [](){ qDebug()<< "Thread1 has finished";});
QObject::connect(thread2, &QThread::finished, [](){ qDebug()<< "Thread2 has finished";});
thread1->start();
thread2->start();
qDebug()<< "Waiting for threads to finish";
thread1->wait();
thread2->wait();
qDebug() << "done";
return a.exec();
}
The output is as follows:
Waiting for threads to finish
Starting QThread2 ...
Strating QThread1 ...
Thread 2 has finished
Thread 1 has finished
