\class QMutex
\brief The QMutex class provides access serialization between threads.
\threadsafe
\ingroup thread
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
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
