This is because by default \c .then() is invoked from the same thread as the parent.
|
||||
|
||||
But note that if the continuation is attached after the parent has already finished,
|
||||
it will be invoked in the thread where the parent future lives:
|
||||
|
||||
\snippet code/src_corelib_thread_qfuture.cpp 20
|
||||
|
||||
In the above example if \c cachedResultsReady is \c true, and a ready future is
|
||||
returned, it is possible that the first \c .then() finishes before the second one
|
||||
is attached. In this case it will be resolved in the current thread. Therefore, when
|
||||
in doubt, pass the context explicitly.
|
||||
|
||||
\note When calling this method, it should be guaranteed that the \a context stays alive
|
||||
throughout the execution of the chain.
