In this post I’d like to share my experiences of linking an external library and code files to an X-Code and Qt project. This task, more than anything, requires a good deal of “glue” information, that is, knowing how and when to do this or that little task to get to the next stage. It’s not too hard, but can be quite time consuming as you scour the net for hints. Hopefully this single write-up will help others.

In this quick post we’ll take a look at Qt’s elegant and simple QFuture, QtConcurrentRun, and QFutureWatcher interfaces. Using these classes allows us to consume a QThreadPool thread for a specific function.
This is handy for many operations, and while simplistic in that we’re not synchronizing data, still has many uses, from processing large blocks of images to streaming chunks of data.
In this post we’ll check out some sample code for implementing QFuture.
