It is usually best to use a mutex with a QMutexLocker since this makes it easy to ensure that locking and unlocking are performed consistently. For example, say there is a method that prints a message to the user on two lines: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 0 If these two methods are called in succession, the following happens: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 1 If these two methods are called simultaneously from two threads then the following sequence could result: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 2 If we add a mutex, we should get the result we want: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 3 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(). \sa QMutexLocker, QReadWriteLock, QSemaphore, QWaitCondition */ /*! \enum QMutex::RecursionMode \value Recursive In this mode, a thread can lock the same mutex multiple times and the mutex won't be unlocked until a corresponding number of unlock() calls have been made. \value NonRecursive In this mode, a thread may only lock a mutex once. \sa QMutex() */ /*!

QMutexLocker can be used in such situations to ensure that the state of the mutex is always well-defined. QMutexLocker should be created within a function where a QMutex needs to be locked. The mutex is locked when QMutexLocker is created. You can unlock and relock the mutex with \c unlock() and \c relock(). If locked, the mutex will be unlocked when the QMutexLocker is destroyed. For example, this complex function locks a QMutex upon entering the function and unlocks the mutex at all the exit points: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 4 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: \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 5 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 \c 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().
