Detailed Description#

Warning

This section contains snippets that were automatically translated from C++ to Python and may contain errors.

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

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

lock = QReadWriteLock()
def readData():

    locker = QReadLocker(lock)
    ...
    return data

It is equivalent to the following code:

lock = QReadWriteLock()
def readData():

    lock.lockForRead()
    ...
    lock.unlock()
    return data

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