Ways to share data between threads

[AndresBarbaRoja]

Hi, I need to share some variables between several treads and I'm not really sure about how to do it.
Right now i think i can create a class to store the values and write the setters and getters with the lock mechanisms to protect the variables. Then i can pass a reference to the container object to all the involved threads.
Would this be an effective way to share?
The storage class would be like this:
-header:

#ifndef DATATABLE_H
#define DATATABLE_H
 
#include <QObject>
#include <QReadWriteLock>
 
class DataTable : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit DataTable(QObject *parent = 0);
    void setIntegerData(int);
    int getIntegerData();
 
private:
    int integerdata;
    QReadWriteLock lock;
};
 
#endif // DATATABLE_H

#ifndef DATATABLE_H
#define DATATABLE_H

#include <QObject>
#include <QReadWriteLock>

class DataTable : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit DataTable(QObject *parent = 0);
    void setIntegerData(int);
    int getIntegerData();

private:
    int integerdata;
    QReadWriteLock lock;
};

#endif // DATATABLE_H

    QObject(parent)
{
}
 
void DataTable::setIntegerData(int i)
{
    QWriteLocker wlocker(&lock);
    integerdata=i;
}
 
int DataTable::getIntegerData()
{
    QReadLocker rlocker(&lock);
    return integerdata;
}

#include "datatable.h"


DataTable::DataTable(QObject *parent) :
    QObject(parent)
{
}

void DataTable::setIntegerData(int i)
{
    QWriteLocker wlocker(&lock);
    integerdata=i;
}

int DataTable::getIntegerData()
{
    QReadLocker rlocker(&lock);
    return integerdata;
}
