\class Q3DeepCopy
\brief The Q3DeepCopy class is a template class which ensures that
implicitly shared and explicitly shared classes reference unique
data.
\reentrant
\compat
Normally, shared copies reference the same data to optimize memory
use and for maximum speed. In the example below, \c s1, \c s2, \c
s3, \c s4 and \c s5 share data.
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qt3support_tools_q3deepcopy.cpp 0
Q3DeepCopy can be used several ways to ensure that an object
references unique, unshared data. In the example below, \c s1, \c
s2 and \c s5 share data, while neither \c s3 nor \c s4 share data.
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qt3support_tools_q3deepcopy.cpp 1
In the example below, \c s1, \c s2 and \c s5 share data, and \c s3
and \c s4 share data.
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qt3support_tools_q3deepcopy.cpp 2
Q3DeepCopy can also provide safety in multithreaded applications
that use shared classes. In the example below, the variable \c
global_string is used safely since the data contained in \c
global_string is always a deep copy. This ensures that all threads
get a unique copy of the data, and that any assignments to \c
global_string will result in a deep copy.
\snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_qt3support_tools_q3deepcopy.cpp 3
\warning It is the application developer's responsibility to
protect the object shared across multiple threads.
The examples above use QString, which is an implicitly shared
class. The behavior of Q3DeepCopy is the same when using explicitly
shared classes like QByteArray.
Currently, Q3DeepCopy works with the following classes:
\list
\i QMemArray (including subclasses like QByteArray and QCString)
\i QMap
\i QString
\i QValueList (including subclasses like QStringList and QValueStack)
\i QValueVector
\endlist
\sa \link threads.html Thread Support in Qt \endlink
*/
/*!
\fn Q3DeepCopy::Q3DeepCopy()
Constructs an empty instance of type \e T.
*/
/*!
\fn Q3DeepCopy::Q3DeepCopy( const T &t )
Constructs a deep copy of \a t.
*/
/*!
\fn Q3DeepCopy<T>& Q3DeepCopy::operator=( const T &t )
Assigns a deep copy of \a t.
*/
/*!
\fn Q3DeepCopy::operator T ()
Returns a deep copy of the encapsulated data.
