Hi,

I have a qt application and which has many Callbacks. As I dont have and infinite loop, I can't write ros::spin(). I would like to have ros::spin() or spinonce() in the background. How can i achieve using multi-threading. Any help would be highly appreciated

Thanks, Arjun

ROS, spin() and multi-threading has been asked a few times already. Some earlier questions & answers:

And just for completeness, the authoritative source roscpp/Overview/Callbacks and Spinning.

In your case an AsyncSpinner is probably a good option (from roscpp/Overview/Callbacks and Spinning - Multi-threaded Spinning):

ros::AsyncSpinner spinner(4); // Use 4 threads
spinner.start();

I read these links, and I do it in the same way,but it doesn't work in my pro. 1.I run spin() in boost::thread,and subscribe in Goal::Goal()(ie: ros::Subscriber sub = nh_.subscribe<actionlib_msgs::goalstatusarray>("/move_base/status",100,fun_cb);) but the thread also block my GUI.Thanks your help
