Synopsis

Functions

• def __enter__ ()

• def __exit__ (arg__1, arg__2, arg__3)

• def readWriteLock ()

• def relock ()

• def unlock ()

Detailed Description

The purpose of QWriteLocker (and QReadLocker ) is to simplify QReadWriteLock locking and unlocking. Locking and unlocking statements or in exception handling code is error-prone and difficult to debug. QWriteLocker can be used in such situations to ensure that the state of the lock is always well-defined.

Here’s an example that uses QWriteLocker to lock and unlock a read-write lock for writing:

lock = QReadWriteLock()
def writeData(data):

    locker = QWriteLocker(lock)
    ...

It is equivalent to the following code:

lock = QReadWriteLock()
def writeData(data):

    lock.lockForWrite()
    ...
    lock.unlock()

The QMutexLocker documentation shows examples where the use of a locker object greatly simplifies programming.
