Example for QThread without inheriting from QThread directly, but changing thread affinity of QObject via obj->moveToThread(thread).
The example uses the new connection syntax and can be build with CMakeLists.txt.
This is a example how to add QObject to an QThread via moveToThread. The goal is to achieve a constantly updating list, which will then be processed.
Thanks to the discussion on QtForum https://forum.qt.io/topic/111621/signals-and-slots-across-threads-without-qthread-inheritance.
The trick here is to insert a QTimer of time = 0ms and call that timer reapeatedly. This will help to prevent blocking the thread with the loop and allow regular processed updates.
Without using the timing function the connection of processList with the thread's start would give no chance to update the list. The processing of the list would have become blocking.
