The user wants to use moveToThread method for executing some long-run operations. The user wants to run threads with the High-priority. The user wants to shutdown those threads on application exit. The things user noticed:

Linux Ubuntu 14.04:

• QThread::quite(); and then QThread::wake() methods are working as expected (worker thread is shutdown and the application exits without crash)

OS X 10.10:

• QThread::quite() - application gets stuck
• QThread::terminate() - application exits normally (Please see the code attached on how does it was implemented)

Steps to reproduce:

• Unpack both applications
• Run both applications on OS X and Linux Ubuntu
• Close both applications (one-by-one or simultaneously if you wish)
• See the difference on how those applications exits

The developer should use application attached to reproduce the issue.

The application with QThread::terminate() should throw in output console this message:

Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing
exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must
reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.

UPDATE 1:
QThread::terminate() can make the application get stuck on the second thread wait() method call (OS X 10.10)

UPDATE 2:
The attached application with postfix "_hack" will work well on both platforms...
