Why does calling quit() before exec() not quit the application?

by

Since QCoreApplication::quit() is a no-op until the event loop has been started, you need to defer the call until it starts. Thus, queue a deferred method call to quit().

The following lines are functionally identical, either one will work:

QTimer::singleShot(0, qApp, &QCoreApplication::quit);
//or
QTimer::singleShot(0, qApp, SLOT(quit()));
// or - see https://stackoverflow.com/a/21653558/1329652
postToThread([]{ QCoreApplication::quit(); });
// or
QMetaObject::invokeMethod(qApp, "quit", Qt::QueuedConnection);
