|
The TQMutexLocker class simplifies locking and unlocking TQMutexes.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|

|
<p> The purpose of TQMutexLocker is to simplify <a href="tqmutex.html">TQMutex</a> locking and
|
||
|
13 years ago
|
unlocking. Locking and unlocking a TQMutex in complex functions and
|
||
|
|
statements or in exception handling code is error prone and
|
||
|
|
difficult to debug. TQMutexLocker should be used in such situations
|
||
|
|
to ensure that the state of the mutex is well defined and always
|
||
|
|
locked and unlocked properly.
|
||
|
|
<p> TQMutexLocker should be created within a function where a TQMutex
|
||
|
|
needs to be locked. The mutex is locked when TQMutexLocker is
|
||
|
|
created, and unlocked when TQMutexLocker is destroyed.
|
||
|
|
<p> For example, this complex function locks a TQMutex upon entering
|
||
|
|
the function and unlocks the mutex at all the exit points:
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
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;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> This example function will get more complicated as it is
|
||
|
|
developed, which increases the likelihood that errors will occur.
|
||
|
|
<p> Using TQMutexLocker greatly simplifies the code, and makes it more
|
||
|
|
readable:
|
||
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
||
|
|
int complexFunction( int flag )
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
TQMutexLocker 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;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> Now, the mutex will always be unlocked when the TQMutexLocker
|
||
|
|
object is destroyed (when the function returns since <tt>locker</tt> is
|
||
|
|
an auto variable). Note that the mutex will be unlocked after
|
||
|
|
the call to moreComplexFunction() in this example, avoiding
|
||
|
|
possible bugs caused by unlocking the mutex too early, as in
|
||
|
|
the first example.
|
||
|
|
<p> 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.
|
||
|
|
<p> TQMutexLocker also provides a <a href="#mutex">mutex</a>() member function that returns
|
||
|
|
the mutex on which the TQMutexLocker is operating. This is useful
|
||
|
|
for code that needs access to the mutex, such as
