...but you have to pass the ownership as well.
Unless the pointer is const, cannot the slot alter the data pointed at, or even delete the pointer?

Re: signal and slot across threads having event loop
If you pass a pointer to another thread, it should become responsible for deleting it and the sender thread shouldn't have any access to that object anymore (unless you use proper locking mechanisms). You don't want any race conditions.Originally Posted by mclark

Thanks jacek, I thought maybe there was some implicit Qt way to guarantee the ownership swap. But, I see you mean this is the responsibility of the programmer.
BTW, thanks for the quick reply!
