|
|
|
|
|
|
The TQDeepCopy class is a template class which ensures that
|
|
<a href="shclass.html#implicitly-shared">implicitly shared</a> and <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a> classes reference unique
|
|
data.
|
|
<p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Normally, shared copies reference the same data to optimize memory
|
|
use and for maximum speed. In the example below, <tt>s1</tt>, <tt>s2</tt>, <tt>s3</tt>, <tt>s4</tt> and <tt>s5</tt> share data.
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
// all 5 strings share the same data
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s1 = "abcd";
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s2 = s1;
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s3 = s2;
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s4 = s3;
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s5 = s2;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> TQDeepCopy can be used several ways to ensure that an object
|
|
references unique, unshared data. In the example below, <tt>s1</tt>, <tt>s2</tt> and <tt>s5</tt> share data, while neither <tt>s3</tt> nor <tt>s4</tt> share data.
|
|
<pre>
|
|
// s1, s2 and s5 share the same data, neither s3 nor s4 are shared
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s1 = "abcd";
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s2 = s1;
|
|
TQDeepCopy<TQString> s3 = s2; // s3 is a <a href="shclass.html#deep-copy">deep copy</a> of s2
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s4 = s3; // s4 is a deep copy of s3
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s5 = s2;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> In the example below, <tt>s1</tt>, <tt>s2</tt> and <tt>s5</tt> share data, and <tt>s3</tt>
|
|
and <tt>s4</tt> share data.
|
|
<pre>
|
|
// s1, s2 and s5 share the same data, s3 and s4 share the same data
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s1 = "abcd";
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s2 = s1;
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s3 = TQDeepCopy<TQString>( s2 ); // s3 is a deep copy of s2
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s4 = s3; // s4 is a <a href="shclass.html#shallow-copy">shallow copy</a> of s3
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> s5 = s2;
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> TQDeepCopy can also provide safety in multithreaded applications
|
|
that use shared classes. In the example below, the variable <tt>global_string</tt> is used safely since the data contained in <tt>global_string</tt> is always a deep copy. This ensures that all threads
|
|
get a unique copy of the data, and that any assignments to <tt>global_string</tt> will result in a deep copy.
|
|
<p> <pre>
|
|
TQDeepCopy<TQString> global_string; // global string data
|
|
<a href="ntqmutex.html">TQMutex</a> global_mutex; // mutex to protext global_string
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
void setGlobalString( const <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> &str )
|
|
{
|
|
global_mutex.<a href="ntqmutex.html#lock">lock</a>();
|
|
global_string = str; // global_string is a deep copy of str
|
|
global_mutex.<a href="ntqmutex.html#unlock">unlock</a>();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
void MyThread::run()
|
|
{
|
|
global_mutex.<a href="ntqmutex.html#lock">lock</a>();
|
|
<a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> str = global_string; // str is a deep copy of global_string
|
|
global_mutex.<a href="ntqmutex.html#unlock">unlock</a>();
|
|
|
|
// process the string data
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
// update global_string
|
|
setGlobalString( str );
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> It is the application developer's responsibility to
|
|
protect the object shared across multiple threads.
|
|
<p> The examples above use <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a>, which is an implicitly shared
|
|
class. The behavior of TQDeepCopy is the same when using explicitly
|
|
shared classes like <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>.
|
|
<p> Currently, TQDeepCopy works with the following classes:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> <a href="ntqmemarray.html">TQMemArray</a> (including subclasses like TQByteArray and <a href="ntqcstring.html">TQCString</a>)
|
|
<li> <a href="tqmap.html">TQMap</a>
|
|
<li> TQString
|
|
<li> <a href="tqvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a> (including subclasses like <a href="tqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> and <a href="tqvaluestack.html">TQValueStack</a>)
|
|
<li> <a href="tqvaluevector.html">TQValueVector</a>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="threads.html">Thread Support in TQt</a>, <a href="shared.html">Implicitly and Explicitly Shared Classes</a>, and <a href="tools.html">Non-GUI Classes</a>.
