Absolutely true.
But still, it would be valuable to know whether one needs to design a
work-around to a platform problem or just fix a Qt bug.

Hi Syam,
The Qtimer object is only created once and lives on for ever.
It has an interval of 30 seconds.
Most of the times they stop triggering after 1 or 2 days.
I dont know what timer API is used by Qt. If its posix timers underneath, Can
you try a simple app with posix timers and see if they also misbehave.
That way, we will know whether its a platform problem or qt problem.
Seems to me that no matter what technology Qt uses under the hood, it is always
a Qt problem. Qt does not advertise any limitations on this front, so it should
not suffer any. If the platform does not support the functionality directly, it
is up to Qt to work around that IMHO.

Hey all,
I'm having a weird thing about Qtimer which I can't explain until now.
We are using a dedicated application to kick the processor watchdog. This
application is based on a QTimer. Basically, it only has to call an ioctl once
every 30 seconds. This is the only thing the application does.
We see that after a random time, the QTimer stops triggering. We have proven
that it does not get stuck somewhere, it just does not get scheduled any more.
I've replaced the code with a while loop instead of the QT event loop. That
seems to be running fine.
Do you mean to say that you have set the QTimer to have a time-out of 30
seconds?
And what is the order of time after which the timer seems to stop working -
minutes, hours?
Also, (a wild shot) are you by any chance creating the timer objects afresh
everytime?
