QThreads , QObject and sleep function

Question

The problem I encountered is that I decided to implement QThreads the way they are supposed to, based on numerous articles:

Answer 1

I agree with jalf. I have a thread that acts as a sort of DBUS daemon and needs to listen to messages forever. Two things to mention:

jalf has

void sleep(int ms) { QThread::sleep(ms); }

But this is NOT MILLISECONDS! QThread::sleep() takes seconds. Also, if one is to take this approach, he must also include the QThread lib anyway, so it might be easier to just make the call like this:

QThread::sleep(seconds);

directly in the code. That way there isn't an extra header file. I ran this and it also works as jalf explained. (putting the calling thread to sleep.)
