    Description

      I found this Thread Sanitizer stack. It happens from time to time.

      I may be missing some mutex (that maybe TSan missed too) but this seems to be the relevant code:

      void QGuiApplicationPrivate::createEventDispatcher()                                                                    
      {                                                                                                                       
          Q_ASSERT(!eventDispatcher);                                                                                         
                                                                                                                              
          if (platform_integration == nullptr)                                                                                
              createPlatformIntegration();                                                                                    
                                                                                                                              
          // The platform integration should not mess with the event dispatcher                                               
          Q_ASSERT(!eventDispatcher);                                                                                         
                                                                                                                              
          eventDispatcher = platform_integration->createEventDispatcher();                                                                                                                                               
      }  

       

      In this case, the call to "createPlatformIntegration()" eventually creates the "QXcbEventQueue" thread.

      After that, this method goes to create and initialize the event dispatcher.

      However, the QXcbEventQueue also wants to know if the event dispatcher is there:

      void QXcbEventQueue::wakeUpDispatcher()                                                                                 
      {                                                                                                                       
          QMutexLocker locker(&qAppExiting);                                                                                  
          if (!dispatcherOwnerDestructing) {                                                                                                                                                                             
              // This thread can run before a dispatcher has been created,                                                    
              // so check if it is ready.                                                                                     
              if (QCoreApplication::eventDispatcher())                                                                        
                  QCoreApplication::eventDispatcher()->wakeUp();                                                              
          }                                                                                                                   
      }

      There we have the race on "eventDispatcher" since it seems to be static and non-atomic.
