QT中的多线程编程

QT为多线程编程提供了很多类，其中最重要的就是QThread了，在QT中定义的任何线程都是他的派生类。最重要的就是重写run()函数，因为类的主要功能就是在run中实现，实现的方法是调用start函数，start函数就会自动调用run函数。

以下程序是一个简单的多线程程序，主要功能是生成两个线程，每个线程不停的打印自己的相关信息。

代码如下：

#include <qapplication.h>

int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
    QApplication a( argc, argv );

    w.show();
    a.connect( &a, SIGNAL( lastWindowClosed() ), &a, SLOT( quit() ) );
    return a.exec();
}

程序中用了互斥量mutex，其实现了两个线程间的通信。还需要注意的是当调用线程的start函数时，run函数会自动被调用。但是需要注意的是也可以直接调用run函数来实现线程的相关功能，但是这样将不会出现多线程，系统还是执行的单线程，即使先执行AA线程，AA线程执行完了后才执行BB线程。

程序执行结果如下：

THE THREAD AZD  IS RUN
THE THREAD B  IS RUN
THE THREAD AZD  IS RUN
THE THREAD B  IS RUN
THE THREAD AZD  IS RUN
THE THREAD B  IS RUN
THE THREAD AZD  IS RUN
THE THREAD B  IS RUN
THE THREAD AZD  IS RUN
THE THREAD B  IS RUN
THE THREAD AZD  IS RUN
THE THREAD B  IS RUN
THE THREAD AZD  IS RUN
THE THREAD B  IS RUN
.

还需要注意的一点是在编译的时候必须在makefile中加入-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT即：

CFLAGS   = -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -g -DGLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY -fno-use-cxa-atexit -fno-exceptions  -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT
CXXFLAGS = -pipe -Wall -W -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -g -DGLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY -fno-use-cxa-atexit -fno-exceptions  -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT

以实现对多线程的支持。（前提是QT在编译的时候已经加入了多线程选项,即生成了多线程库）
