void exceptionDuringOperation ( BaseException * e ) [signal]

The signal emitted when a ThreadOperation throws as exception.

This signal is emitted when a ThreadOperation object throws an exception and terminates. The exception is cloned (or an instance of UnknownException is created) and stored here. We keep the list of all exceptions ever thrown to avoid problems (with the current implementation we don't know when it is safe to deleted the cloned object)

Parameters:

e	a clone of the exception thrown in the ThreadOperation

Note:: The connection to this signal must be of type Qt::QueuedConnection or Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection because the signal is emitted from another thread. This should be fixed (use a QObject with the correct thread affinity)

void quit ( )
