Typical use of a TQMutexPool is in situations where it is not possible or feasible to use one TQMutex for every protected object. The mutex pool will return a mutex based on the address of the object that needs protection. For example, consider this simple class: \code class Number { public: Number( double n ) : num ( n ) { } void setNumber( double n ) { num = n; } double number() const { return num; } private: double num; }; \endcode Adding a TQMutex member to the Number class does not make sense, because it is so small. However, in order to ensure that access to each Number is protected, you need to use a mutex. In this case, a TQMutexPool would be ideal. Code to calculate the square of a number would then look something like this: \code void calcSquare( Number *num ) { TQMutexLocker locker( mutexpool.get( num ) ); num.setNumber( num.number() * num.number() ); } \endcode This function will safely calculate the square of a number, since it uses a mutex from a TQMutexPool. The mutex is locked and unlocked automatically by the TQMutexLocker class. See the TQMutexLocker documentation for more details. */ /*!
