The QObjectCleanupHandler class watches the lifetime of multiple QObjects.
<p> 
<p> A QObjectCleanupHandler is useful whenever you need to know when a
number of <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>s 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.
<p> Example:
<p> <pre>
    class FactoryComponent : public FactoryInterface, public QLibraryInterface
    {
    public:
        ...

        <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a> *createObject();

        bool init();
        void cleanup();
        bool canUnload() const;

    private:
        QObjectCleanupHandler objects;
    };

    // allocate a new object, and add it to the cleanup handler
    QObject *FactoryComponent::createObject()
    {
        return objects.<a href="#add">add</a>( new <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>() );
    }

    // QLibraryInterface implementation
    bool FactoryComponent::init()
    {
        return TRUE;
    }

    void FactoryComponent::cleanup()
    {
    }

    // it is only safe to unload the library when all QObject's have been destroyed
    bool FactoryComponent::canUnload() const
    {
        return objects.<a href="#isEmpty">isEmpty</a>();
    }
    </pre>
 
<p>See also <a href="objectmodel.html">Object Model</a>.
