.SH DESCRIPTION
The QObjectCleanupHandler class watches the lifetime of multiple QObjects.
.PP
A QObjectCleanupHandler is useful whenever you need to know when a number of QObjects that are owned by someone else have been deleted. This is important, for example, when referencing memory in an application that has been allocated in a shared library.
.PP
Example:
.PP
.nf
.br
    class FactoryComponent : public FactoryInterface, public QLibraryInterface
.br
    {
.br
    public:
.br
        ...
.br
.br
        QObject *createObject();
.br
.br
        bool init();
.br
        void cleanup();
.br
        bool canUnload() const;
.br
.br
    private:
.br
        QObjectCleanupHandler objects;
.br
    };
.br
.br
    // allocate a new object, and add it to the cleanup handler
.br
    QObject *FactoryComponent::createObject()
.br
    {
.br
        return objects.add( new QObject() );
.br
    }
.br
.br
    // QLibraryInterface implementation
.br
    bool FactoryComponent::init()
.br
    {
.br
        return TRUE;
.br
    }
.br
.br
    void FactoryComponent::cleanup()
.br
    {
.br
    }
.br
.br
    // it is only safe to unload the library when all QObject's have been destroyed
.br
    bool FactoryComponent::canUnload() const
.br
    {
.br
        return objects.isEmpty();
.br
    }
