kdecore/kernel/kglobal.cpp <https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/121134/#comment49277> please no, just remove it. Now with QAtomicInt it's just fine to use KJob from different threads. So no need to spam anything to the console, nor to complicate the code this way. remove this. kdecore/kernel/kglobal.cpp <https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/121134/#comment49278> see above, this is just useless - remove this (also below). - Milian Wolff On Nov. 16, 2014, 7:13 p.m., René J.V.
