\title Concurrent Run
\ingroup thread
The QtConcurrent::run() function runs a function in a separate thread.
The return value of the function is made available through the QFuture API.
This function is a part of the \l {Qt Concurrent} framework.
\section1 Running a Function in a Separate Thread
To run a function in another thread, use QtConcurrent::run():
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp 0
This will run \e aFunction in a separate thread obtained from the default
QThreadPool. You can use the QFuture and QFutureWatcher classes to monitor
the status of the function.
To use a dedicated thread pool, you can pass the QThreadPool as
the first argument:
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp explicit-pool-0
\section1 Passing Arguments to the Function
Passing arguments to the function is done by adding them to the
QtConcurrent::run() call immediately after the function name. For example:
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp 1
A copy of each argument is made at the point where QtConcurrent::run() is
called, and these values are passed to the thread when it begins executing
the function. Changes made to the arguments after calling
QtConcurrent::run() are \e not visible to the thread.
\section1 Returning Values from the Function
Any return value from the function is available via QFuture:
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp 2
As documented above, passing arguments is done like this:
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp 3
Note that the QFuture::result() function blocks and waits for the result
to become available. Use QFutureWatcher to get notification when the
function has finished execution and the result is available.
\section1 Additional API Features
\section2 Using Member Functions
QtConcurrent::run() also accepts pointers to member functions. The first
argument must be either a const reference or a pointer to an instance of
the class. Passing by const reference is useful when calling const member
functions; passing by pointer is useful for calling non-const member
functions that modify the instance.
For example, calling QByteArray::split() (a const member function) in a
separate thread is done like this:
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp 4
Calling a non-const member function is done like this:
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp 5
\section2 Using Lambda Functions
Calling a lambda function is done like this:
\snippet code/src_concurrent_qtconcurrentrun.cpp 6

\typedef Function
\internal
This typedef is a dummy required to make the \c Function
type name known so that clang doesn't reject functions
that use it.

/*!
\fn QFuture<T> QtConcurrent::run(Function function, ...);
Equivalent to
\code
QtConcurrent::run(QThreadPool::globalInstance(), function, ...);
\endcode
Runs \a function in a separate thread. The thread is taken from the global
QThreadPool. Note that \a function may not run immediately; \a function
will only be run once a thread becomes available.
T is the same type as the return value of \a function. Non-void return
values can be accessed via the QFuture::result() function.
Note that the QFuture returned by QtConcurrent::run() does not support
canceling, pausing, or progress reporting. The QFuture returned can only
be used to query for the running/finished status and the return value of
the function.

\since 5.4
\fn QFuture<T> QtConcurrent::run(QThreadPool *pool, Function function, ...);

will only be run once a thread becomes available.
