QTimer与事件循环和多线程

定时器的源码分析

startTimer返回定时器的ID，在定时时间到了后，收到一个QTimerEvent，并覆盖虚函数timerEvent进行处理，该QTimerEvent包括了定时器ID

看QTimer的源码就明白了：

QObject::startTimer()
{
        if (Q_UNLIKELY(!d->threadData->eventDispatcher.load())) {
        qWarning("QObject::startTimer: Timers can only be used with threads started with QThread");
        return 0;
    }
    if (Q_UNLIKELY(thread() != QThread::currentThread())) {
        qWarning("QObject::startTimer: Timers cannot be started from another thread");
        return 0;
    }
    // 调用对象关联线程的eventDispatcher来注册定时器，killTimer中是unregisterTimer
    int timerId = d->threadData->eventDispatcher.load()->registerTimer(interval, timerType, this);
    if (!d->extraData)
        d->extraData = new QObjectPrivate::ExtraData;
    d->extraData->runningTimers.append(timerId);
    return timerId;
}

event dispatcher维护每个QObject对象关联的定时器的列表，再看registerTimer的源码:

 void QEventDispatcherWin32::registerTimer(int timerId, int interval, Qt::TimerType timerType, QObject *object)
{
    if (timerId < 1 || interval < 0 || !object) {
        qWarning("QEventDispatcherWin32::registerTimer: invalid arguments");
        return;
    } else if (object->thread() != thread() || thread() != QThread::currentThread()) {
        // 又判断是不是跟event dispatcher同一线程
        qWarning(
