The purpose of QMutexLocker is to simplify QMutex locking and unlocking. 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.

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.

For example, suppose we have an application that stores data in a large tree structure. The application creates 10 threads (commonly called a thread pool) to perform searches on the tree. When the application searches the tree for some piece of data, it uses one thread per base node to do the searching. A semaphore could be used to make sure that two threads don't try to search the same branch of the tree at the same time.

A QThread represents a separate thread of control within the program; it shares data with all the other threads within the process but executes independently in the way that a separate program does on a multitasking operating system. Instead of starting in main(), QThreads begin executing in run(). You inherit run() to include your code. For example:

TQValueVector is shared implicitly, which means it can be copied in constant time. If multiple TQValueVector instances share the same data and one needs to modify its contents, this modifying instance makes a copy and modifies its private copy; it thus does not affect the other instances. This is often called "copy on write". If a TQValueVector is being used in a multi-threaded program, you must protect all access to the vector. See TQMutex.

There are several ways to insert elements into the vector. The push_back() function insert elements into the end of the vector, and is usually fastest. The insert() function can be used to add elements at specific positions within the vector.

The TQWaitCondition class allows waiting/waking for conditions between threads.
.PP

QWaitConditions allow a thread to tell other threads that some sort of condition has been met; one or many threads can block waiting for a QWaitCondition to set a condition with wakeOne() or wakeAll(). Use wakeOne() to wake one randomly selected event or wakeAll() to wake them all. For example, say we have three tasks that should be performed every time the user presses a key; each task could be split into a thread, each of which would have a run() body like this:
