Platform/s:
After updating Qt from 5.9 to 5.12.3 I started getting race condition while reading qt.conf
Repro steps:
1. Create "qt.conf" file next to executable with valid configuration
2. The executable needs to start a QThread before creating an application:
int main(int argc, char** argv) { BackgroundThread thread{}; thread.start(); Application app(argc, argv); return app.run(); }
3. The thread needs to use "qDebug()".
class BackgroundThread : public QThread { Q_OBJECT public: void run() override { qDebug() << "test"; } };
After running the executable several time you can observer different errors like heap corruption, assertions, and missing platform plugins message (which is most frequent).
I have attached a simple project to reproduce the behavior
