QVector COW thread-safety [Qt 4.8]

[anda_skoa]

If you know that either thread is going to modify the data, why not create a deep copy in the first place?

void mainFunction () {
  QVector<int> value = ...;
  valueForThread = value; // create a copy for thread
  valueForThread.detatch(); // create deep copy
  startThread(&threadFunction);
  value = ...; // doesn't affect thread
}

void mainFunction () {
  QVector<int> value = ...;
  valueForThread = value; // create a copy for thread
  valueForThread.detatch(); // create deep copy
  startThread(&threadFunction);
  value = ...; // doesn't affect thread
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
