AW: QtLockedFile does not work
Message 1 in thread
Hi
Just a guess as I did not use this
Try to lock the file _before_ open()ing it

Betreff: QtLockedFile does not work
Hello,
does anybody of you use the QtLockedFile solution for Qt 4?
Under Windows XP it does not work correct until there are parallel
processes who want to access the file.
Here my small example code:
#include "qtlockedfile.h"
#include <QtDebug>
#include <QString>
#ifdef Q_OS_WIN32
// for getting process id under windows
#include <process.h>
#else
// for getting process id under unix systems
#include <unistd.h>
#endif
int main( int, char** )
{
qDebug() << "Locking file...";
QtLockedFile lf("test.log");
lf.open( QIODevice::WriteOnly|QIODevice::Append );
lf.lock( QtLockedFile::WriteLock, true );
qDebug() << "Locked file";
QString message = QString( "[%1] hello world\n" ).arg( getpid() );
lf.write(message.toLatin1().constData(),
qstrlen(message.toLatin1().data()));
lf.flush();
qDebug() << "Unlocking file...";
lf.unlock();
qDebug() << "Unlocked file";
return 0;
}
Here the code to force parallel processes to access the file:
#include <QProcess>
int main( int, char** )
{
for( int i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
QProcess::startDetached( "lockedFileWriter.exe" );
}
return 0;
}
If you do that, there are 10 processes which all freeze and wait for a
unlocked file .... forever.
What am I doing wrong? I am sure someone at Trolltech has tested this
and it is a fault on my side but I cannot find one myself.
Regards,
Falko

Hello Michael,
no you have to use this order. If you first lock and then open you get
an debug message of QtLockedFile that the file is not opened yet.
But thanks for your help.

Falko

Hm,
strange, but when I first lock and then open as Michael said, everything
works. But then you get a lot of debug messages of Qt saying
"QtLockedFile::lock(): file is not opened". Thats annoying and confusing...
