Detailed Description

The Exception class provides a base class for exceptions that can transferred across threads.

Qt Concurrent supports throwing and catching exceptions across thread boundaries, provided that the exception inherit from QtConcurrent::Exception and implement two helper functions:

     class MyException : public QtConcurrent::Exception
     {
     public:
         void raise() const { throw *this; }
         Exception *clone() const { return new MyException(*this); }
     };

QtConcurrent::Exception subclasses must be thrown by value and caught by reference:

     try  {
         QtConcurrent::blockingMap(list, throwFunction); // throwFunction throws MyException
     } catch (MyException &e) {
         // handle exception
     }

     If you throw an exception that is not a subclass of QtConcurrent::Exception,
     the Qt Concurrent functions will throw a QtConcurrent::UnhandledException
     on the receiver thread side.

Exception * Exception::clone () const   [virtual]

In your QtConcurrent::Exception subclass, reimplement clone() like this:

     MyException *MyException::clone() const { return new MyException(*this); }

void Exception::raise () const   [virtual]

In your QtConcurrent::Exception subclass, reimplement raise() like this:

     void MyException::raise() const { throw *this; }
