## Detailed Description

### template<class Coll, class Base>
class PSafeColl< Coll, Base >

This class defines a thread-safe collection of objects.

This is part of a set of classes to solve the general problem of a collection (eg a PList or PDictionary) of objects that needs to be a made thread safe. Any thread can add, read, write or remove an object with both the object and the database of objects itself kept thread safe.

See the PSafeObject class for more details. Especially in regard to enumeration of collections.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class Coll, class Base>

PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::PSafeColl | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Create a safe list collection wrapper around the real collection.

template<class Coll, class Base>

PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::PSafeColl | ( | const PSafeColl< Coll, Base > & | other | ) |
| inline

Copy constructor for safe collection.

Note the left hand side will always have DisallowDeleteObjects() set.

## Member Function Documentation

template<class Coll, class Base>

virtual PSafePtr<Base> PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::Append | ( | Base * | obj,
|  | PSafetyMode | mode = `PSafeReference`
| ) |  |
| inline virtual

Add an object to the collection.

This uses the PCollection::Append() function to add the object to the collection, with full mutual exclusion locking on the collection.

Parameters

  obj | Object to add to safe collection.
  mode | Safety mode for returned locked PSafePtr

template<class Coll, class Base>

virtual PSafePtr<Base> PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::FindWithLock | ( | const Base & | value,
|  | PSafetyMode | mode = `PSafeReadWrite`
| ) |  |
| inline virtual

Find the instance in the collection of an object with the same value.

The returned safe pointer will increment the reference count on the PSafeObject and lock to the object in the mode specified. The lock will remain until the PSafePtr goes out of scope.

template<class Coll, class Base>

virtual PSafePtr<Base> PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::GetAt | ( | PINDEX | idx,
|  | PSafetyMode | mode = `PSafeReadWrite`
| ) |  |
| inline virtual

Get the instance in the collection of the index.

The returned safe pointer will increment the reference count on the PSafeObject and lock to the object in the mode specified. The lock will remain until the PSafePtr goes out of scope.

template<class Coll, class Base>

PSafeColl& PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::operator= | ( | const PSafeColl< Coll, Base > & | other | ) |
| inline

Assign one safe collection to another.

Note the left hand side will always have DisallowDeleteObjects() set.

template<class Coll, class Base>

virtual PBoolean PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::Remove | ( | Base * | obj | ) |
| inline virtual

Remove an object to the collection.

This function removes the object from the collection itself, but does not actually delete the object. It simply moves the object to a list of objects to be garbage collected at a later time.

As for Append() full mutual exclusion locking on the collection itself is maintained.

Parameters

  obj | Object to remove from safe collection

template<class Coll, class Base>

virtual PBoolean PSafeColl< Coll, Base >::RemoveAt | ( | PINDEX | idx | ) |
| inline virtual

Remove an object to the collection.

This function removes the object from the collection itself, but does not actually delete the object. It simply moves the object to a list of objects to be garbage collected at a later time.

As for Append() full mutual exclusion locking on the collection itself is maintained.

Parameters

  idx | Index to remove
