QTcpServer across threads

xy_thinker

I created a QTcpServer server in the main thread, and connect the readyRead() signal to a worker object in anther thread, however, once I access the server, there will be an warning like that socket notifiers cannot be enabled from another thread, I can't figure out some questions as follows:

Why it happens? from google I know that QTcpSocket must be created and accessed in the same thread, but if so, why did not the official doc point it out, and how am I supposed to know these information so I can dodge these problems.
The only doc I find related has a statement:

Event driven objects may only be used in a single thread. Specifically, this applies to the timer mechanism and the network module. For example, you cannot start a timer or connect a socket in a thread that is not the object's thread.

and I don't know what it means by "event driven objects"
4. I also want to know more about qt multi-thread programming, can you recommend some books or sites(I have already read the docs over and over, but it seems of little help)

Thank you!

This is not the case

Have a look at this example: https://wiki.qt.io/WIP-How_to_create_a_simple_chat_application
