[Interest] Double destruction of Qt objects in Qt example code?

[Scott Aron Bloom]

IIRC the list is stored in the event list, and it will go over each one..  Its not terribly expensive but isn't free either.

The only time I every call deleteLater is when I have to delete something, AND the function I am in, is in the middle of the event loop, AND the object will be used again, ie QEvent flows

How much of an overhead?  I think it's preferable to trade a tiny bit of overhead for event propagation safety.  The event loop might not be finished with the object at the time of deletion.
