Q(Multi)Map mutating functions that take reference to a key and/or a
value (e.g. insert(), take(), etc.) must make sure that those references
are still valid -- that is, that the referred objects are still alive --
after the detach() call done inside those functions.
In fact, if the key/value are references into *this, one must take extra
steps in order to preserve them across the detach().
Consider the scenario where one has two shallow copies of QMap, each
accessed by a different thread, and each thread calls a mutating
function on its copy, using a reference into the map (e.g.
map.take(map.firstKey())). Let's call the shared payload of this QMap
SP, with its refcount of 2; it's important to note that the argument
(call it A) passed to the mutating function belongs to SP.
Each thread may then find the reference count to be different than 1 and
therefore do a detach() from inside the mutating function. Then this
could happen:
Thread 1: Thread 2:
detach() detach()
SP refcount != 1 => true SP refcount != 1 => true
deep copy from SP deep copy from SP
ref() the new copy ref() the new copy
SP.deref() => 1 => don't dealloc SP
set the new copy as payload
SP.deref() => 0 => dealloc SP
set the new copy as payload
use A to access the new copy use A to access the new copy
The order of ref()/deref() SP and the new copy in each thread doesn't
really matter here. What really matters is that SP has been destroyed
and that means A is a danging reference.
Fix this by keeping SP alive in the mutating functions before doing a
detach(). This can simply be realized by taking a local copy of the map
from within such functions.
remove() doesn't suffer from this because its implementation doesn't do
a bare detach() but something slightly smarter.

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.
Linux X11:
* The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.
* The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.
* Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
and activation.
* Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
wait for the user to click the window.
