The was introduced with the rewrite of QMetaObject::invokeMethod() in
commit 0f76e55bc4, because we have an
optimization for zero timers to avoid creating a temporary
QSingleShotTimer object. The old implementation did attempt to normalize
the target slot name, but did so because it looked metamethods up using
QMetaObject::indexOfMethod:
int idx = meta->indexOfMethod(sig.constData());
if (idx < 0) {
QByteArray norm =
QMetaObject::normalizedSignature(sig.constData());
idx = meta->indexOfMethod(norm.constData());
}
The new implementation does not use this method so it didn't need to
attempt to normalize.
I am fixing this only in QTimer and not in QMetaObject::invokeMethodImpl
(even though it is trivial to do so) because I don't believe spaces in a
pure string to invokeMethod were ever expected to work:
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(obj, "slotName ", Qt::QueuedConnection);
The Q_ARG and Q_RETURN_ARG (for code not recompiled) still does
normalization inside QMetaType::fromName().
Fixes: QTBUG-116060
