In the example below, \c s1, \c s2, \c + s3, \c s4 and \c s5 share data. + + \code + // all 5 strings share the same data + TQString s1 = "abcd"; + TQString s2 = s1; + TQString s3 = s2; + TQString s4 = s3; + TQString s5 = s2; + \endcode + + TQDeepCopy can be used several ways to ensure that an object + references unique, unshared data. In the example below, \c s1, \c + s2 and \c s5 share data, while neither \c s3 nor \c s4 share data. + \code + // s1, s2 and s5 share the same data, neither s3 nor s4 are shared + TQString s1 = "abcd"; + TQString s2 = s1; + TQDeepCopy<TQString> s3 = s2; // s3 is a deep copy of s2 + TQString s4 = s3; // s4 is a deep copy of s3 + TQString s5 = s2; + \endcode + + In the example below, \c s1, \c s2 and \c s5 share data, and \c s3 + and \c s4 share data. + \code + // s1, s2 and s5 share the same data, s3 and s4 share the same data + TQString s1 = "abcd"; + TQString s2 = s1; + TQString s3 = TQDeepCopy<TQString>( s2 ); // s3 is a deep copy of s2 + TQString s4 = s3; // s4 is a shallow copy of s3 + TQString s5 = s2; + \endcode + + TQDeepCopy can also provide safety in multithreaded applications + that use shared classes. In the example below, the variable \c + global_string is used safely since the data contained in \c + global_string is always a deep copy. This ensures that all threads + get a unique copy of the data, and that any assignments to \c + global_string will result in a deep copy. + + \code + TQDeepCopy<TQString> global_string; // global string data + TQMutex global_mutex; // mutex to protext global_string + + ... + + void setGlobalString( const TQString &str ) + { + global_mutex.lock(); + global_string = str; // global_string is a deep copy of str + global_mutex.unlock(); + } + + ... + + void MyThread::run() + { + global_mutex.lock(); + TQString str = global_string; // str is a deep copy of global_string + global_mutex.unlock(); + + // process the string data + ... + + // update global_string + setGlobalString( str ); + } + \endcode + + \warning It is the application developer's responsibility to + protect the object shared across multiple threads. + + The examples above use TQString, which is an implicitly shared + class. The behavior of TQDeepCopy is the same when using explicitly + shared classes like TQByteArray. + + Currently, TQDeepCopy works with the following classes: + \list + \i TQMemArray (including subclasses like TQByteArray and TQCString) + \i TQMap + \i TQString + \i TQValueList (including subclasses like TQStringList and TQValueStack) + \i TQValueVector + \endlist + + \sa \link threads.html Thread Support in TQt \endlink +*/ + +/*! + \fn TQDeepCopy::TQDeepCopy() + + Constructs an empty instance of type \e T. +*/ + +/*! + \fn TQDeepCopy::TQDeepCopy( const T &t ) + + Constructs a deep copy of \a t. +*/ + +/*! + \fn TQDeepCopy<T>& TQDeepCopy::operator=( const T &t ) + + Assigns a deep copy of \a t. +*/ + +/*! + \fn TQDeepCopy::operator T () + + Returns a deep copy of the encapsulated data. +*/ + |
