Creating multithreaded applications with Qt
summary
Explains when each Qt threading tool actually helps: subclassing QThread is rarely ideal, never move the QThread object to another thread because object affinity breaks signals/cleanup; use QMutexLocker for exception-safe locking and avoid read/write lockers unless benchmarked; reuse threads because creating QThread is expensive so QThreadPool / QRunnable wins for many short tasks (web‑server, queued DB jobs); use QtConcurrent mapped/reduced/filter with a QFutureWatcher for easy parallel transforms (mapped example ran 20 items on an 8‑core machine).
