    I have an object that needs to send signals to the GUI, so I connect it to a slot.
    However later I delete that object.
    I noticed I can always say when I'm done with the object:

    disconnect(myObject);
    

    However does this also happen automatically when its deallocator is called?

      Yep :)

      In general you don't need to worry about explicitly calling disconnect().

        Properly explained in the documentation to QObject::disconnect(): 'A signal-slot connection is removed when either of the objects involved are destroyed.'
