For example, say there is a method which prints a message to the user on two lines: \code int number = 6; void method1() { number *= 5; number /= 4; } void method1() { number *= 3; number /= 2; } \endcode If these two methods are called in succession, the following happens: \code // method1() number *= 5; // number is now 30 number /= 4; // number is now 7 // method2() number *= 3; // nubmer is now 21 number /= 2; // number is now 10 \endcode If these two methods are called simultaneously from two threads then the following sequence could result: \code // Thread 1 calls method1() number *= 5; // number is now 30 // Thread 2 calls method2(). // // Most likely Thread 1 has been put to sleep by the operating // system to allow Thread 2 to run. number *= 3; // number is now 90 number /= 2; // number is now 45 // Thread 1 finishes executing. number /= 4; // number is now 11, instead of 10 \endcode If we add a mutex, we should get the result we want: \code QMutex mutex; int number = 6; void method1() { mutex.lock(); number *= 5; number /= 4; mutex.unlock(); } void method2() { mutex.lock(); number *= 3; number /= 2; mutex.unlock(); } \endcode Then only one thread can modify \c number at any given time and the result is correct. This is a trivial example, of course, but applies to any other case where things need to happen in a particular sequence. When you call lock() in a thread, other threads that try to call lock() in the same place will block until the thread that got the lock calls unlock(). A non-blocking alternative to lock() is tryLock(). */ /*! Constructs a new mutex. The mutex is created in an unlocked state.

Locking and unlocking a QMutex in complex functions and statements or in exception handling code is error prone and difficult to debug. QMutexLocker should be used in such situations to ensure that the state of the mutex is well defined and always locked and unlocked properly. QMutexLocker should be created within a function where a QMutex needs to be locked. The mutex is locked when QMutexLocker is created, and unlocked when QMutexLocker is destroyed. For example, this complex function locks a QMutex upon entering the function and unlocks the mutex at all the exit points: \code int complexFunction( int flag ) { mutex.lock(); int return_value = 0; switch ( flag ) { case 0: case 1: { mutex.unlock(); return moreComplexFunction( flag ); } case 2: { int status = anotherFunction(); if ( status < 0 ) { mutex.unlock(); return -2; } return_value = status + flag; break; } default: { if ( flag > 10 ) { mutex.unlock(); return -1; } break; } } mutex.unlock(); return return_value; } \endcode This example function will get more complicated as it is developed, which increases the likelihood that errors will occur. Using QMutexLocker greatly simplifies the code, and makes it more readable: \code int complexFunction( int flag ) { QMutexLocker locker( &mutex ); int return_value = 0; switch ( flag ) { case 0: case 1: { return moreComplexFunction( flag ); } case 2: { int status = anotherFunction(); if ( status < 0 ) return -2; return_value = status + flag; break; } default: { if ( flag > 10 ) return -1; break; } } return return_value; } \endcode Now, the mutex will always be unlocked when the QMutexLocker object is destroyed (when the function returns since \c locker is an auto variable). The same principle applies to code that throws and catches exceptions. An exception that is not caught in the function that has locked the mutex has no way of unlocking the mutex before the exception is passed up the stack to the calling function. QMutexLocker also provides a mutex() member function that returns the mutex on which the QMutexLocker is operating. This is useful for code that needs access to the mutex, such as QWaitCondition::wait(). For example: \code class SignalWaiter { private: QMutexLocker locker; public: SignalWaiter( QMutex *mutex ) : locker( mutex ) { } void waitForSignal() { ... ... ... while ( ! signalled ) waitcondition.wait( locker.mutex() ); ... ... ... } }; \endcode \sa QMutex, QWaitCondition */ /*! \fn QMutexLocker::QMutexLocker( QMutex *mutex ) Constructs a QMutexLocker and locks \a mutex. The mutex will be unlocked when the QMutexLocker is destroyed. If \a mutex is zero, QMutexLocker does nothing. \sa QMutex::lock() */ /*! \fn QMutexLocker::~QMutexLocker() Destroys the QMutexLocker and unlocks the mutex which was locked in the constructor. \sa QMutexLocker::QMutexLocker(), QMutex::unlock() */ /*! \fn QMutex *QMutexLocker::mutex() const Returns a pointer to the mutex which was locked in the constructor. \sa QMutexLocker::QMutexLocker() */ #endif // QT_THREAD_SUPPORT
