Synopsis

Functions

Detailed Description

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():
    locker.lockForRead()
    # ...
    locker.unlock()
    return data

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

class PySide2.QtCore.QReadLocker(readWriteLock)
param readWriteLock:

PySide2.QtCore.QReadWriteLock

Constructs a QReadLocker and locks lock for reading. The lock will be unlocked when the QReadLocker is destroyed. If lock is zero, QReadLocker does nothing.
