QT Plugin , VTK QT Widget , Multi-thread and Linking question?

Greetings all,

This is going to be a long question,skip the [Background] if its not that neccasary ;)

[Background]

I am developing a modular QT based application.Application is extentible via QT based plugins. As shown in the figure, there are mainly 3 parts .(numbers in red)

1) libAppCore - the core of the application,which defines pluginterfaces,main UIS,interations..etc

2) App.exe - the applicatoin which implement some builtin plugins and main application execution.

3) Qt based plugins - several plugins which implements Plugin interfaces in libAppCore.dll

Here's how each components links each other:

• libAppCore links QT libraries.

• App.exe links libAppCore.DLL and QT libraries (App.exe uses someother QT Classes not being used my libAppCore.DLL)

• Plugins (libAppQTPluginA.DLL , libAppQTPluginB.DLL ) - link libAppCore.DLL and QT libs. libAppQTPluginA.DLL - links OpenGL libAppQTPluginB.DLL - links VTK libraries

[Actual Problem ; ] Again only occurs in Windows , works fine in Linux.

Everything compiles fine and I have only problem wihen executing the PluginB , which uses VTK libraries.

During executing PluginB , it creates a QWidget which set as central widget in a QMainWindow.(there can be many QMainWindow's at once) Inside this QWidget I create a QVTWidget and create a dummy sphere as follows,

QVTKWidget qtWidget = new QVTKWidget(this); qtWidget->resize(512, 512);

vtkSmartPointer sphereSource = vtkSmartPointer::New(); sphereSource->Update(); vtkSmartPointer sphereMapper = vtkSmartPointer::New(); sphereMapper->SetInputConnection(sphereSource->GetOutputPort()); vtkSmartPointer sphereActor = vtkSmartPointer::New(); sphereActor->SetMapper(sphereMapper);

// VTK Renderer vtkSmartPointer leftRenderer =vtkSmartPointer::New(); leftRenderer->AddActor(sphereActor);

qtWidget->GetRenderWindow()->AddRenderer(leftRenderer); QVBoxLayout *vboxLayout = new QVBoxLayout; vboxLayout->addWidget(qtWidget); setLayout(vboxLayout);

During execution QT warns about multiple threads ,but I never create any new threads nor VTK (AFAIK).

QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.(Parent is QObject(0xdbe0d70), parent's thread is QThread(0x3370f8), current thread is QThread(0xdc427f8)

(But when I comment out the line vboxLayout->addWidget(qtWidget); this disappears. )

And when I perforce any operation on QVTKWidget ,application开发者_C百科 crash .Error log is

Any tips ? Why it compains about multiple thread at the first time?

Finally I found the solution.. I had compiled VTK libraries for Release version.But all other components I build Debug version. Since there are two QT libraries are linked(Release and Debug version), QT create two threads for each version. Finally I build all with Release build option and everything works fine.
