How to exit Qt console application?

[KaptainKarl]

For Qt Console apps, I have found it best to do the following:

1. Create a class with a void public slot that represents your main thread (or only thread). The slot should always exit with something like this:

QCoreApplication::exit(#); // Where # is the exit code
return;

QCoreApplication::exit(#); // Where # is the exit code
return;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

2. Use a one shot timer in the main function to call the slot.

So your main function would look like this:

#include <QTimer>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
    Sasaja sasaja;
    QTimer::singleShot(0, &sasaja, SLOT(DoWork()));
    return a.exec();   
}

#include <QTimer>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);
    Sasaja sasaja;
    QTimer::singleShot(0, &sasaja, SLOT(DoWork()));
    return a.exec();   
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
