qt中的信号与槽

连接形式

connect有好几种形式

static QMetaObject::Connection connect(const QObject *sender, const char *signal, const QObject *receiver, const char *member, Qt::ConnectionType = Qt::AutoConnection);

static QMetaObject::Connection connect(const QObject *sender, const QMetaMethod &signal, const QObject *receiver, const QMetaMethod &method, Qt::ConnectionType type = Qt::AutoConnection);

inline QMetaObject::Connection connect(const QObject *sender, const char *signal, const char *member, Qt::ConnectionType type = Qt::AutoConnection) const;

# define SIGNAL(a)   "2"#a

connect底层到底做了什么呢？
其实际上添加发送者对应信号索引的监听器列表中

QObjectPrivate::Connection *QMetaObjectPrivate::connect(const QObject *sender,
                                 int signal_index, const QMetaObject *smeta,

            const QObjectPrivate::Connection *c2 = scd->signalVector.loadRelaxed()->at(signal_index).first.loadRelaxed();

            int method_index_absolute = method_index + method_offset;

            while (c2) {
                if (!c2->isSlotObject && c2->receiver.loadRelaxed() == receiver && c2->method() == method_index_absolute)
                    return nullptr;
                c2 = c2->nextConnectionList.loadRelaxed();
            }
        }
        type &= Qt::UniqueConnection - 1;
    }

    std::unique_ptr<QObjectPrivate::Connection> c{new QObjectPrivate::Connection};
    c->sender = s;

    QObjectPrivate::get(s)->addConnection(signal_index, c.get());

    locker.unlock();
    QMetaMethod smethod = QMetaObjectPrivate::signal(smeta, signal_index);
    if (smethod.isValid())
        s->connectNotify(smethod);

    return c.release();

在添加连接设置连接对象时，将isSlotObject设置为false，callFunction设置为接收对象元对象的static_metacall

QObjectPrivate::StaticMetaCallFunction callFunction = rmeta ? rmeta->d.static_metacall : nullptr;

在doActivate调用时就会走callFunction分支

什么时候会触发接收者的调用

在emit 触发信号时。
moc（元对象编译器）在处理定义有SIGNALS的类时，会针对定义的信号生成对应的处理函数，在内部会调用QMetaObject::active方法，其定义为

void QMetaObject::activate(QObject *sender, const QMetaObject *m, int local_signal_index,
                           void **argv)
{
    int signal_index = local_signal_index + QMetaObjectPrivate::signalOffset(m);

    if (Q_UNLIKELY(qt_signal_spy_callback_set.loadRelaxed()))
        doActivate<true>(sender, signal_index, argv);
    else
        doActivate<false>(sender, signal_index, argv);
}

doActivate会从发送者的信号索引取出连接列表，调用处理函数
对于 Qt::AutoConnection，会判断发送线程和接收处理线程是否在同一线程，如果在同一线程，QMetaObject::metacall作同步调用，否则生成QMetaCallEvent发送qt的事件处理线程中
对于 Qt::DirectConnection， QMetaObject::metacall作同步调用
对于Qt::QueuedConnection，直接生成QMetaCallEvent发送qt的事件处理线程中
对于Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection，如果发现发送线程和接收处理线程是在同一线程，输出告警日志，会使用信号量QSemaphore，生成QMetaCallEvent发送qt的事件处理线程中等待处理结果
