Qt 多线程必知必会

Thread Affinity


A QObject instance is said to have a thread affinity, or that it lives in a certain thread. When a QObject receives a queued signal or a posted event, the slot or event handler will run in the thread that the object lives in.


Note: If a QObject has no thread affinity (that is, if thread() returns zero), or if it lives in a thread that has no running event loop, then it cannot receive queued signals or posted events.


By default, a QObject lives in the thread in which it is created. An object's thread affinity can be queried using thread() and changed using moveToThread().


All QObjects must live in the same thread as their parent. Consequently:


\lisetParent() will fail if the two QObjects involved live in different threads. \li When a QObject is moved to another thread, all its children will be automatically moved too. \li moveToThread() will fail if the QObject has a parent. \li If QObjects are created within QThread::run(), they cannot become children of the QThread object because the QThread does not live in the thread that calls QThread::run().

Note: A QObject's member variables do not automatically become its children. The parent-child relationship must be set by either passing a pointer to the child's constructor, or by calling setParent(). Without this step, the object's member variables will remain in the old thread when moveToThread() is called.

也就是你把一个类移到了某个线程中去，而该类的某个类成员并没有指定其父对象为该类的示例：即该类的类成员使用了默认的父对象为0；则该类的类成员仍属于原来的线程！
