The purpose of QSystemLocker is to simplify QSystemLock locking and unlocking. Locking and unlocking a QSystemLock in complex functions and statements or in exception handling code is error-prone and difficult to debug. QSystemLocker can be used in such situations to ensure that the state of the locks is always well-defined. QSystemLocker should be created within a function where a QSystemLock needs to be locked. The system lock is locked when QSystemLocker is created. If locked, the system lock will be unlocked when the QSystemLocker is destroyed. QSystemLocker can be unlocked with unlock() and relocked with relock(). \sa QSystemLock */ /*! \fn QSystemLocker::QSystemLocker() Constructs a QSystemLocker and locks \a lock. The \a lock will be unlocked when the QSystemLocker is destroyed. If lock is zero, QSystemLocker does nothing. \sa QSystemLock::lock() */ /*! \fn QSystemLocker::~QSystemLocker() Destroys the QSystemLocker and unlocks it if it was locked in the constructor. \sa QSystemLock::unlock() */ /*! \fn QSystemLocker::systemLock() Returns a pointer to the lock that was locked in the constructor. */ /*! \fn QSystemLocker::relock() Relocks an unlocked locker. \sa unlock() */ /*! \fn QSystemLocker::unlock() Unlocks this locker. You can use relock() to lock it again. It does not need to be locked when destroyed. \sa relock() */ /*! \class QSystemLock \brief The QSystemLock class provides a system wide lock that can be used between threads or processes. The purpose of a QSystemLocker is to protect an object that can be accessed by multiple threads or processes such as shared memory or a file. For example, say there is a method which prints a message to a log file: void log(const QString &logText) { QSystemLock systemLock(QLatin1String("logfile")); systemLock.lock(); QFile file(QDir::temp() + QLatin1String("/log")); if (file.open(QIODevice::Append)) { QTextStream out(&file); out << logText; } systemLock.unlock(); } If this is called from two seperate processes the resulting log file is guaranteed to contain both lines. When you call lock(), other threads or processes that try to call lock() with the same key will block until the thread or process that got the lock calls unlock(). A non-blocking alternative to lock() is tryLock(). */ /*! Constructs a new system lock with \a key. The lock is created in an unlocked state. \sa lock(), key(). */ QSystemLock::QSystemLock(const QString &key) { d = new QSystemLockPrivate; setKey(key); } /*! Destroys a system lock. warning: This will not unlock the system lock if it has been locked. */ QSystemLock::~QSystemLock() { d->cleanHandle(); delete d; } /*! Sets a new key to this system lock. \sa key() */ void QSystemLock::setKey(const QString &key) { if (key == d->key) return; d->cleanHandle(); d->lockCount = 0; d->key = key; // cache the file name so it doesn't have to be generated all the time. d->fileName = d->makeKeyFileName(); d->error = QSystemLock::NoError; d->errorString = QString(); d->handle(); } /*! Returns the key assigned to this system lock \sa setKey() */ QString QSystemLock::key() const { return d->key; } /*! Locks the system lock. Lock \a mode can either be ReadOnly or ReadWrite. If a mode is ReadOnly, attempts by other processes to obtain ReadOnly locks will succeed, and ReadWrite attempts will block until all of the ReadOnly locks are unlocked. If locked as ReadWrite, all other attempts to lock will block until the lock is unlocked. A given QSystemLock can be locked multiple times without blocking, and will only be unlocked after a corresponding number of unlock() calls are made.
