[Interest] readyRead() signal issues with QTcpSopcket and Qt 5.6 under minGW

[Etienne Sandré-Chardonnal]

Hi Thiago,

After further investigation, the issue is not related to TCP but to
threads/events. It's on client (ie sender) side.

I have the following order of events :

Client * client = new Client(host, this);
QThread * clientThread = new QThread(this);
client->moveToThread(clientThread);
connect(this, SIGNAL(sendClientCommand(QString)), client, SLOT(command(
QString)));
connect(client, SIGNAL(messageSent(QString)), this, SLOT
(messageFromClient(QString)));
QTimer::singleShot(0, clientThread , SLOT(start()));      //Differed start
required to avoid missing messages
emit sendClientCommand("loadstart");



So I have a signal connected to an object's slot in another thread. I emit
the signal before the thread is started. I do not know if this is correct,
but :

   - With Qt 5.4 the command("loadstart") slot is properly called as soon
   as possible
   - With Qt 5.6 the slot is not called until I emit the signal again, as
   if the event was queued, but the queue not processed until another event is
   sent.

Also, if I add a Client::threadStarted() slot calling processEvents() and
connect it to QThread::started() slot of clientThread, then the command
slot is processed on time. I do not know if this is an effect of
processEvents() or if this is because the connection is also queued, thus
waking up the event loop.
Can this be a Qt bug or am I misusing the queued connection?

Thanks
