+ \class QMutex
+ \brief The QMutex class provides access serialization between threads.
+
+ \threadsafe
+
+ \ingroup thread
+ \ingroup environment
+ \mainclass
+
+ The purpose of a QMutex is to protect an object, data structure or
+ section of code so that only one thread can access it at a time
+ (this is similar to the Java \c synchronized keyword). It is
+ usually best to use a mutex with a QMutexLocker since this makes
+ it easy to ensure that locking and unlocking are performed
+ consistently.
+
+ For example, say there is a method that prints a message to the
+ user on two lines:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 0
+
+ If these two methods are called in succession, the following happens:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 1
+
+ If these two methods are called simultaneously from two threads then the
+ following sequence could result:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 2
+
+ If we add a mutex, we should get the result we want:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 3
+
+ Then only one thread can modify \c number at any given time and
+ the result is correct. This is a trivial example, of course, but
+ applies to any other case where things need to happen in a
+ particular sequence.
+
+ When you call lock() in a thread, other threads that try to call
+ lock() in the same place will block until the thread that got the
+ lock calls unlock(). A non-blocking alternative to lock() is
+ tryLock().

+ \class QMutexLocker
+ \brief The QMutexLocker class is a convenience class that simplifies
+ locking and unlocking mutexes.
+
+ \threadsafe
+
+ \ingroup thread
+ \ingroup environment
+
+ Locking and unlocking a QMutex in complex functions and
+ statements or in exception handling code is error-prone and
+ difficult to debug. QMutexLocker can be used in such situations
+ to ensure that the state of the mutex is always well-defined.
+
+ QMutexLocker should be created within a function where a
+ QMutex needs to be locked. The mutex is locked when QMutexLocker
+ is created. You can unlock and relock the mutex with \c unlock()
+ and \c relock(). If locked, the mutex will be unlocked when the
+ QMutexLocker is destroyed.
+
+ For example, this complex function locks a QMutex upon entering
+ the function and unlocks the mutex at all the exit points:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 4
+
+ This example function will get more complicated as it is
+ developed, which increases the likelihood that errors will occur.
+
+ Using QMutexLocker greatly simplifies the code, and makes it more
+ readable:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 5
+
+ Now, the mutex will always be unlocked when the QMutexLocker
+ object is destroyed (when the function returns since \c locker is
+ an auto variable).
+
+ The same principle applies to code that throws and catches
+ exceptions. An exception that is not caught in the function that
+ has locked the mutex has no way of unlocking the mutex before the
+ exception is passed up the stack to the calling function.
+
+ QMutexLocker also provides a \c mutex() member function that returns
+ the mutex on which the QMutexLocker is operating. This is useful
+ for code that needs access to the mutex, such as
+ QWaitCondition::wait(). For example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qmutex.cpp 6

+ \sa QReadLocker, QWriteLocker, QMutex

+
+/*!
+ \fn QMutexLocker::QMutexLocker(QMutex *mutex)
