The data can be accessed later using the -<a href="#localData">localData</a>() functions. TQThreadStorage takes ownership of the -data (which must be created on the heap with <em>new</em>) and deletes -it when the thread exits (either normally or via termination). -<p> The <a href="#hasLocalData">hasLocalData</a>() function allows the programmer to determine if -data has previously been set using the setLocalData() function. -This is useful for lazy initializiation. -<p> For example, the following code uses TQThreadStorage to store a -single cache for each thread that calls the <em>cacheObject()</em> and -<em>removeFromCache()</em> functions. The cache is automatically -deleted when the calling thread exits (either normally or via -termination). -<p> <pre> - TQThreadStorage<TQCache<SomeClass> *> caches; - - void cacheObject( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> &key, SomeClass *object ) - { - if ( ! caches.hasLocalData() ) - caches.setLocalData( new <a href="qcache.html">TQCache</a><SomeClass> ); - - caches.localData()->insert( key, object ); - } - - void removeFromCache( const <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> &key ) - { - if ( ! caches.hasLocalData() ) - return; // nothing to do - - caches.localData()->remove( key ); - } - </pre> - -<p> <h3> Caveats -</h3> -<a name="1"></a><p> <ul> -<p> <li> As noted above, TQThreadStorage can only store pointers due to -compiler limitations. Support for value-based objects will be -added when the majority of compilers are able to support partial -template specialization. -<p> <li> The <a href="#~TQThreadStorage">destructor</a> does <em>not</em> -delete per-thread data. TQThreadStorage only deletes per-thread -data when the thread exits or when <a href="#setLocalData">setLocalData</a>() is called -multiple times. -<p> <li> TQThreadStorage can only be used with threads started with -<a href="qthread.html">TQThread</a>. It <em>cannot</em> be used with threads started with -platform-specific APIs. -<p> <li> As a corollary to the above, platform-specific APIs cannot be -used to exit or terminate a TQThread using TQThreadStorage. Doing so -will cause all per-thread data to be leaked. See <a href="qthread.html#exit">TQThread::exit</a>() -and <a href="qthread.html#terminate">TQThread::terminate</a>(). -<p> <li> TQThreadStorage <em>can</em> be used to store data for the <em>main()</em> -thread <em>after</em> <a href="qapplication.html">TQApplication</a> has been constructed. TQThreadStorage -deletes all data set for the <em>main()</em> thread when TQApplication is -destroyed, regardless of whether or not the <em>main()</em> thread has -actually finished. -<p> <li> The implementation of TQThreadStorage limits the total number of -TQThreadStorage objects to 256. An unlimited number of threads -can store per-thread data in each TQThreadStorage object. -<p> </ul> -<p>See also <a href="environment.html">Environment Classes</a> and <a href="thread.html">Threading</a>. - -<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2> -<h3 class=fn><a name="TQThreadStorage"></a>TQThreadStorage::TQThreadStorage () -</h3> - -<p> Constructs a new per-thread data storage object. - -<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQThreadStorage"></a>TQThreadStorage::~TQThreadStorage () -</h3> - -<p> Destroys the per-thread data storage object. -<p> Note: The per-thread data stored is <em>not</em> deleted.

The <em>data</em> -argument must be either a pointer to an object created on the heap -(i.e. using <em>new</em>) or 0.
