Detailed Description

template<class ReadLockerType, class ReadWriteLockType>
class BALL::TReadLocker< ReadLockerType, ReadWriteLockType >

This class provides a very thin wrapper around different mutex read-locker types.

As default, BALL supports QReadLocker, but it can be easily extended to support the same functionality with classes from boost or Intel Thread Building Blocks.

A BALL-mutex read-locker needs to provide a constructor which is called with a pointer to a corresponding TReadWriteLock. Upon construction, the mutex is automatically locked for read, and is automatically unlocked when the mutex runs out of scope.
