The boost signal was sent synchronously, and so made the Qt signal to be posted
in FileMonitor::changed after the boost signal returned, so after the sender was
possibly destroyed.
The solution is to make the boost signal asynchronous using the Qt event loop.
Thanks to Scott Kostyshak for the report and MWE.
When the Buffer is notified to be externally modified, check that the
file contents have changed using the checksum.
Document the shortcoming of FileMonitorBlocker.
Fixes#10642.
Starting at 61b2bd5e, boost::bind was progressively replaced with
std::bind. They are not interchangeable though. boost::bind implements
the tracking of boost::signals{,2}::trackable objects. Now that
std::bind has completely replaced boost::bind, tracking never occurred.
This commit replaces boost::signals2::trackable with the new preferred
boost::signals2 methods: scoped_connections or slot::track_foreign. The
support::Trackable class introduced is less safe but easier for transitioning
old code.
Fixes the crash at #8261.
Boost.Signals is deprecated. This fixes bug #9943.
The only thing left to do is to rewrite (or get rid of) the boost -mt test
in config/lyxinclude.m4 not to use signals anymore.
