Public Functions

QUnhandledException(const QUnhandledException &other)
QUnhandledException(QUnhandledException &&other)
(since 6.0) std::__exception_ptr::exception_ptr exception() const
QUnhandledException &operator=(const QUnhandledException &other)

Detailed Description

If a worker thread throws an exception that is not a subclass of QException, the Qt Concurrent functions will throw a QUnhandledException on the receiver thread side. The information about the actual exception that has been thrown will be saved in the QUnhandledException class and can be obtained using the exception() method. For example, you can process the exception held by QUnhandledException in the following way:

 try {
     auto f = QtConcurrent::run([] { throw MyException {}; });
     // ...
 } catch (const QUnhandledException &e) {
     try {
         if (e.exception())
             std::rethrow_exception(e.exception());
     } catch (const MyException &ex) {
         // Process 'ex'
     }
 }

Inheriting from this class is not supported.
