QCoreApplication::sendPostedEvents does not process DeferredDelete by default

Please see

https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/qt-interest-old/2010-April/022513.html

The poster says:

"However, deleting a QObject with:

  someObj->deleteLater();

and then doing:

  qApp->sendPostedEvents();

does not result in 'someObj' being deleted. For that to happen, I have to explicitly call:

  qApp->sendPostedEvents(0, QEvent::DeferredDelete);

Is this a bug or expected behavior?"

I am seeing this problem still today. The OP's question was never answered.

I am re-posting the question to seek an answer.

Calling sendPostedEvents() with default arguments should work, no?

Is it a bug?
