Qt moveToThread和數據競賽

Question

有一個帶有一個信號和插槽的類：

#ifndef SOME_CLASS_H
#define SOME_CLASS_H

#include <QObject>

class SomeClass : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit SomeClass(QObject *parent = 0) : QObject(parent) {
        connect(this, &SomeClass::valueChanged, this, &SomeClass::setValue);
    }

    void emitSignal() {
        emit valueChanged();
    }

signals:
    void valueChanged();
public slots:
    void setValue() {}
};

#endif // SOME_CLASS_H

這是定義單例的程序主文件，該單例創建上述定義的類的實例並將其放入單獨的線程中：

#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QThread>
#include <someclass.h>

class Singleton {
public:
    QThread t;
    SomeClass someClassObject;
    Singleton() {
        someClassObject.moveToThread(&t);
        t.start();
    }

    static SomeClass& getInstance() {
        static Singleton st;
        return st.someClassObject;
    }

    ~Singleton() {
        t.quit();
        t.wait();
    }
};

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

    SomeClass& b = Singleton::getInstance();
    b.emitSignal();

    QThread::msleep(100);

    return a.exec();
}

問題是，當我使用某些線程檢查工具（例如ThreadSanitizer或Helgrind）評估該程序時，會報告一些有關數據爭用情況的警告。 ThreadSanitizer的示例輸出：

==================

是什么原因導致這些比賽條件？

Answer 1

由於警告全部源自與信號，插槽和事件循環有關的Qt內部，因此我認為檢測到的競爭條件是誤報。 Helgrind是否檢測到相同的比賽條件？ 一些人報告了Qt的Helgrind錯誤（ http://www.kdab.com/~dfaure/helgrind.html ），並且似乎在最近得到了解決。
