It behaves exactly like a normal pointer for normal purposes, including respect for constness. QSharedPointer will delete the pointer it is holding when it goes out of scope, provided no other QSharedPointer objects are referencing it. A QSharedPointer object can be created from a normal pointer, another QSharedPointer object or by promoting a QWeakPointer object to a strong reference. \section1 Thread-Safety QSharedPointer and QWeakPointer are thread-safe and operate atomically on the pointer value. Different threads can also access the QSharedPointer or QWeakPointer pointing to the same object at the same time without need for locking mechanisms. It should be noted that, while the pointer value can be accessed in this manner, QSharedPointer and QWeakPointer provide no guarantee about the object being pointed to. Thread-safety and reentrancy rules for that object still apply. \section1 Other Pointer Classes Qt also provides two other pointer wrapper classes: QPointer and QSharedDataPointer. They are incompatible with one another, since each has its very different use case. QSharedPointer holds a shared pointer by means of an external reference count (i.e., a reference counter placed outside the object). Like its name indicates, the pointer value is shared among all instances of QSharedPointer and QWeakPointer. The contents of the object pointed to by the pointer should not be considered shared, however: there is only one object. For that reason, QSharedPointer does not provide a way to detach or make copies of the pointed object. QSharedDataPointer, on the other hand, holds a pointer to shared data (i.e., a class derived from QSharedData). It does so by means of an internal reference count, placed in the QSharedData base class. This class can, therefore, detach based on the type of access made to the data being guarded: if it's a non-const access, it creates a copy atomically for the operation to complete. QExplicitlySharedDataPointer is a variant of QSharedDataPointer, except that it only detaches if QExplicitlySharedDataPointer::detach() is explicitly called (hence the name). QScopedPointer simply holds a pointer to a heap allocated object and deletes it in its destructor. This class is useful when an object needs to be heap allocated and deleted, but no more. QScopedPointer is lightweight, it makes no use of additional structure or reference counting. Finally, QPointer holds a pointer to a QObject-derived object, but it does so weakly. QWeakPointer has the same functionality, but its use for that function is deprecated. \section1 Optional Pointer Tracking A feature of QSharedPointer that can be enabled at compile-time for debugging purposes is a pointer tracking mechanism. When enabled, QSharedPointer registers in a global set all the pointers that it tracks. This allows one to catch mistakes like assigning the same pointer to two QSharedPointer objects. This function is enabled by defining the \tt{QT_SHAREDPOINTER_TRACK_POINTERS} macro before including the QSharedPointer header. It is safe to use this feature even with code compiled without the feature. QSharedPointer will ensure that the pointer is removed from the tracker even from code compiled without pointer tracking. Note, however, that the pointer tracking feature has limitations on multiple- or virtual-inheritance (that is, in cases where two different pointer addresses can refer to the same object). In that case, if a pointer is cast to a different type and its value changes, QSharedPointer's pointer tracking mechanism may fail to detect that the object being tracked is the same. \omit \section1 QSharedPointer internals QSharedPointer has two "private" members: the pointer itself being tracked and a d-pointer. Those members are private to the class, but QSharedPointer is friends with QWeakPointer and other QSharedPointer with different template arguments. (On some compilers, template friends are not supported, so the members are technically public) The reason for keeping the pointer value itself outside the d-pointer is because of multiple inheritance needs. If you have two QSharedPointer objects of different pointer types, but pointing to the same object in memory, it could happen that the pointer values are different. The \tt differentPointers autotest exemplifies this problem. The same thing could happen in the case of virtual inheritance: a pointer of class matching the virtual base has different address compared to the pointer of the complete object. See the \tt virtualBaseDifferentPointers autotest for this problem. The d pointer is a pointer to QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountData, but it always points to one of the two classes derived from ExternalRefCountData. \section2 d-pointer \section3 QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountData It is basically a reference-counted reference-counter plus a pointer to the function to be used to delete the pointer. It has three members: \tt strongref, \tt weakref, and \tt destroyer. The strong reference counter is controlling the lifetime of the object tracked by QSharedPointer. A positive value indicates that the object is alive. It's also the number of QSharedObject instances that are attached to this Data. When the strong reference count decreases to zero, the object is deleted (see below for information on custom deleters). The strong reference count can also exceptionally be -1, indicating that there are no QSharedPointers attached to an object, which is tracked too. The only case where this is possible is that of QWeakPointers and QPointers tracking a QObject. Note that QWeakPointers tracking a QObject is a deprecated feature as of Qt 5.0, kept only for compatibility with Qt 4.x. The weak reference count controls the lifetime of the d-pointer itself. It can be thought of as an internal/intrusive reference count for ExternalRefCountData itself. This count is equal to the number of QSharedPointers and QWeakPointers that are tracking this object. In case the object is a QObject being tracked by QPointer, this number is increased by 1, since QObjectPrivate tracks it too. The third member is a pointer to the function that is used to delete the pointer being tracked. That happens when the destroy() function is called. The size of this class is the size of the two atomic ints plus the size of a pointer. On 32-bit architectures, that's 12 bytes, whereas on 64-bit ones it's 16 bytes. There is no padding. \section3 QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter This class derives from ExternalRefCountData and is a template class. As template parameters, it has the type of the pointer being tracked (\tt T) and a \tt Deleter, which is anything. It adds two fields to its parent class, matching those template parameters: a member of type \tt Deleter and a member of type \tt T*. Those members are actually inside a template struct of type CustomDeleter, which is partially-specialized for normal deletion. See below for more details on that. The purpose of this class is to store the pointer to be deleted and the deleter code along with the d-pointer. This allows the last strong reference to call any arbitrary function that disposes of the object. For example, this allows calling QObject::deleteLater() on a given object. The pointer to the object is kept here because it needs to match the actual deleter function's parameters, regardless of what template argument the last QSharedPointer instance had. This class is never instantiated directly: the constructors and destructor are private and, in C++11, deleted. Only the create() function may be called to return an object of this type. See below for construction details. The size of this class depends on the size of \tt Deleter. If it's an empty functor (i.e., no members), ABIs generally assign it the size of 1. But given that it's followed by a pointer, padding bytes may be inserted so that the alignment of the class and of the pointer are correct. In that case, the size of this class is 12+4+4 = 20 bytes on 32-bit architectures, or 16+8+8 = 40 bytes on 64-bit architectures. If \tt Deleter is a function pointer, the size should be the same as the empty structure case. If \tt Deleter is a pointer to a member function (PMF), the size will be bigger and will depend on the ABI. For architectures using the Itanium C++ ABI, a PMF is twice the size of a normal pointer. In that case, the size of this structure will be 12+8+4 = 24 bytes on 32-bit architectures, 16+16+8 = 40 bytes on 64-bit ones. If the deleter was not specified when creating the QSharedPointer object (i.e., if a standard \tt delete call is expected), then there's an optimization that avoids the need to store another function pointer in ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter. Instead, a template specialization makes a direct delete call. The size of the structure, in this case, is 12+4 = 16 bytes on 32-bit architectures, 16+8 = 24 bytes on 64-bit ones. \section3 QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData This class also derives from ExternalRefCountData and it is also a template class. The template parameter is the type \tt T of the class which QSharedPointer tracks. It adds only one member to its parent, which is of type \tt T (the actual type, not a pointer to it). The purpose of this class is to lay the \tt T object out next to the reference counts, saving one memory allocation per shared pointer. This is particularly interesting for small \tt T or for the cases when there are few if any QWeakPointer tracking the object. This class exists to implement the QSharedPointer::create() call. Like ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter, this class is never instantiated directly. This class also provides a create() member that returns the pointer, and hides its constructors and destructor. With C++11, they're deleted. The size of this class depends on the size of \tt T. \section3 Instantiating ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter and ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData Like explained above, these classes have private constructors. Moreover, they are not defined anywhere, so trying to call \tt{new ClassType} would result in a compilation or linker error. Instead, these classes must be constructed via their create() methods. Instead of instantiating the class by the normal way, the create() method calls \tt{operator new} directly with the size of the class, then calls the parent class's constructor only (that is, ExternalRefCountData's constructor). This ensures that the inherited members are initialised properly. After initialising the base class, the ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter::create() function initialises the new members directly, by using the placement \tt{operator new}. In the case of the ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData::create() function, the address to the still-uninitialised \tt T member is saved for the callee to use. The member is only initialised in QSharedPointer::create(), so that we avoid having many variants of the internal functions according to the arguments in use for calling the constructor. When initialising the parent class, the create() functions pass the address of the static deleter() member function. That is, when the destroy() function is called by QSharedPointer, the deleter() functions are called instead. These functions static_cast the ExternalRefCountData* parameter to their own type and execute their deletion: for the ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter::deleter() case, it runs the user's custom deleter, then destroys the deleter; for ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData::deleter, it simply calls the \tt T destructor directly. Only one non-inline function is required per template, which is the deleter() static member. All the other functions can be inlined. What's more, the address of deleter() is calculated only in code, which can be resolved at link-time if the linker can determine that the function lies in the current application or library module (since these classes are not exported, that is the case for Windows or for builds with \tt{-fvisibility=hidden}). \section3 Modifications due to pointer-tracking To ensure that pointers created with pointer-tracking enabled get un-tracked when destroyed, even if destroyed by code compiled without the feature, QSharedPointer modifies slightly the instructions of the previous sections. When ExternalRefCountWithCustomDeleter or ExternalRefCountWithContiguousData are used, their create() functions will set the ExternalRefCountData::destroyer function pointer to safetyCheckDeleter() instead. These static member functions simply call internalSafetyCheckRemove() before passing control to the normal deleter() function. If neither custom deleter nor QSharedPointer::create() are used, then QSharedPointer uses a custom deleter of its own: the normalDeleter() function, which simply calls \tt delete. By using a custom deleter, the safetyCheckDeleter() procedure described above kicks in. \endomit \sa QSharedDataPointer, QWeakPointer, QScopedPointer, QEnableSharedFromThis */ /*! \class QWeakPointer \inmodule QtCore \brief The QWeakPointer class holds a weak reference to a shared pointer. \since 4.5 \reentrant The QWeakPointer is an automatic weak reference to a pointer in C++. It cannot be used to dereference the pointer directly, but it can be used to verify if the pointer has been deleted or not in another context. QWeakPointer objects can only be created by assignment from a QSharedPointer. It's important to note that QWeakPointer provides no automatic casting operators to prevent mistakes from happening. Even though QWeakPointer tracks a pointer, it should not be considered a pointer itself, since it doesn't guarantee that the pointed object remains valid. Therefore, to access the pointer that QWeakPointer is tracking, you must first promote it to QSharedPointer and verify if the resulting object is null or not. QSharedPointer guarantees that the object isn't deleted, so if you obtain a non-null object, you may use the pointer. See QWeakPointer::toStrongRef() for an example. QWeakPointer also provides the QWeakPointer::data() method that returns the tracked pointer without ensuring that it remains valid. This function is provided if you can guarantee by external means that the object will not get deleted (or if you only need the pointer value) and the cost of creating a QSharedPointer using toStrongRef() is too high. \omit \section1 QWeakPointer internals QWeakPointer shares most of its internal functionality with \l{QSharedPointer#qsharedpointer-internals}{QSharedPointer}, so see that class's internal documentation for more information. QWeakPointer requires an external reference counter in order to operate. Therefore, it is incompatible by design with \l QSharedData-derived classes. It has a special QObject constructor, which works by calling QtSharedPointer::ExternalRefCountData::getAndRef, which retrieves the d-pointer from QObjectPrivate. If one isn't set yet, that function creates the d-pointer and atomically sets it. If getAndRef needs to create a d-pointer, it sets the strongref to -1, indicating that the QObject is not shared: QWeakPointer is used only to determine whether the QObject has been deleted. In that case, it cannot be upgraded to QSharedPointer (see the previous section). \endomit \sa QSharedPointer, QScopedPointer */ /*! \class QEnableSharedFromThis \inmodule QtCore \brief A base class that allows obtaining a QSharedPointer for an object already managed by a shared pointer. \since 5.4 You can inherit this class when you need to create a QSharedPointer from any instance of a class; for instance, from within the object itself. The key point is that the technique of just returning QSharedPointer(this) can not be used, because this winds up creating multiple distinct QSharedPointer objects with separate reference counts. For this reason you must never create more than one QSharedPointer from the same raw pointer. QEnableSharedFromThis defines two member functions called sharedFromThis() that return a QSharedPointer and QSharedPointer, depending on constness, to \c this: \snippet code/src_corelib_tools_qsharedpointer.cpp 0 It is also possible to get a shared pointer from an object outside of the class itself.
