QCoreApplication::postEvent的异常安全保证

Question

我正在使用此代码发布活动：

QEvent*event=new QEvent(QEvent::User);
QCoreApplication::postEvent(pointerToSomeQObject,event);

QCoreApplication::postEvent 描述为here。但是，如果在 postEvent 中引发异常，绝对没有关于我应该做什么的信息。

我认为该功能属于以下四类之一：

1. 它从不抛出异常（特别是没有 std::bad_alloc）
2. 如果它抛出它永远不会删除事件。
3. 如果它抛出它有时会删除事件。
4. 如果它抛出它总是会删除事件。

最坏的情况是第三种情况。

所以：如果 postEvent 抛出，我需要删除事件吗？

我找到了 QApplication::postEvent 的代码：

void QCoreApplication::postEvent(QObject *receiver, QEvent *event, int priority)
{
    if (receiver == 0) {
        qWarning("QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver");
        delete event;
        return;
    }

    QThreadData * volatile * pdata = &receiver->d_func()->threadData;
    QThreadData *data = *pdata;
    if (!data) {
        // posting during destruction? just delete the event to prevent a leak
        delete event;
        return;
    }

    // lock the post event mutex
    data->postEventList.mutex.lock();

    // if object has moved to another thread, follow it
    while (data != *pdata) {
        data->postEventList.mutex.unlock();

        data = *pdata;
        if (!data) {
            // posting during destruction? just delete the event to prevent a leak
            delete event;
            return;
        }

        data->postEventList.mutex.lock();
    }

    QMutexUnlocker locker(&data->postEventList.mutex);

    // if this is one of the compressible events, do compression
    if (receiver->d_func()->postedEvents
        && self && self->compressEvent(event, receiver, &data->postEventList)) {
        return;
    }

    if (event->type() == QEvent::DeferredDelete && data == QThreadData::current()) {
        // remember the current running eventloop for DeferredDelete
        // events posted in the receiver's thread
        static_cast<QDeferredDeleteEvent *>(event)->level = data->loopLevel;
    }

    // delete the event on exceptions to protect against memory leaks till the event is
    // properly owned in the postEventList
    QScopedPointer<QEvent> eventDeleter(event);
    data->postEventList.addEvent(QPostEvent(receiver, event, priority));
    eventDeleter.take();
    event->posted = true;
    ++receiver->d_func()->postedEvents;
    data->canWait = false;
    locker.unlock();

    QAbstractEventDispatcher* dispatcher = data->eventDispatcher.loadAcquire();
    if (dispatcher)
        dispatcher->wakeUp();
}

在异常情况下使用 RAII QScopedPointer 守卫销毁事件是非常小心的。

我猜我的问题的答案是第四个选择：

如果它抛出它总是会删除给定的事件。
