Qt - QThread Signal&Slot No Error Just not Working - c++

Question

I updated my question. My project is so simple. I want to create 3 thread. Each thread have different operations. Finally, they should communicate using signal&slot.
I got errors:
-debug/main.o:main.cpp:(.rdata$.refptr._ZTV6mclass[.refptr._ZTV6mclass]+0x0): undefined reference to `vtable for mclass'
-debug/main.o:main.cpp:(.rdata$.refptr._ZN6mclass16staticMetaObjectE[.refptr._ZN6mclass16staticMetaObjectE]+0x0): undefined reference to `mclass::staticMetaObject'
-debug/main.o:main.cpp:(.rdata$.refptr._ZN6mclass7sender2Ev[.refptr._ZN6mclass7sender2Ev]+0x0): undefined reference to `mclass::sender2()'
-debug/main.o:main.cpp:(.rdata$.refptr._ZN6mclass7sender1Ei[.refptr._ZN6mclass7sender1Ei]+0x0): undefined reference to `mclass::sender1(int)'
-debug/mclass.o: in function `mclass::start()':
-\qtProjects\triple\mclass.cpp:20: error: undefined reference to `mclass::sender1(int)
-\qtProjects\build-triple-Desktop_Qt_6_3_2_MinGW_64_bit-Debug/../triple/mclass.cpp:22: undefined reference to `mclass::sender2()'
-collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
-[Makefile.Debug:71: debug/triple.exe] Error 1
I change : public QObject to QThread and I got same errors again.
Thanks for helping.

convert class tthread : public QObject to class tthread : public QThread at first.
Then remove the code with QThread t1, QThread t2, QThread t3. You do not need them since tthread class is a QThread. Start threads with the code below.
->start(QThread::Priority::HighestPriority);
Then override the Run method of QThread
protected:
void run() override;
Move the content inside secondd method to the Run method, and delete secondd method. Probably you do not start the secondd method. That's why nothing works. Run method is automatically called when you call the start method of a QThread.
By the way, you have infinite loops. You need to break the loop when you want to close the application. Do not use while(1). Instead, use while (boolean_param). In the close event of the application, call some signals&slots to set the boolean_param to false to finish the job in the thread.
