QMetaObject::invokeMethod: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'quit16'

[KShots]

I'm suffering from this same problem, and I have a single-threaded application.

I invoke QTcpSocket in a separate class as a static object with no parent (attempting to set a parent after it has been instantiated seems to confuse QObject and create free() errors on shutdown). An entirely different class then takes this socket and tries to make it connect to a remote server.

Here's what the connection looks like:

QTcpSocket * mySocket = &formBasePlugin::socketServer;
mySocket->connectToHost(ui.lineEditHost->text(), ui.spinBoxPort->value(), QIODevice::ReadWrite);

QTcpSocket * mySocket = &formBasePlugin::socketServer;
mySocket->connectToHost(ui.lineEditHost->text(), ui.spinBoxPort->value(), QIODevice::ReadWrite);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Every QObject that has a parent will be deleted when it's parent gets destroyed, but on the other hand you can't delete static objects. So either make that object non-static or reparent it again.

Ah, I think I see the problem, then. Although they fixed the bug you mention in 4.2.0, I am using 4.1.4 (latest version available that plays nice with dbus). So... I'll see if I can find a way to make this thing work without a static socket. Thanks!

Maybe QObject::moveToThread() will be enough?

That worked - the socket is still static, but it is now functional .

Thanks!
