Detailed Description

ACE_Mutex wrapper (valid in same process or across processes (depending on TYPE flag)). In general, however, we recommend using ACE_Process_Mutex or ACE_Thread_Mutex rather than ACE_Mutex.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Mutex::ACE_Mutex	(	int	type = USYNC_THREAD,
		const ACE_TCHAR *	name = 0,
		ACE_mutexattr_t *	arg = 0,
		mode_t	mode = ACE_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMS
	)

Initialize the mutex.

ACE_Mutex::~ACE_Mutex

(

void

)

Implicitly destroy the mutex.

ACE_Mutex::ACE_Mutex

(

const ACE_Mutex &

)

[private]

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Mutex::acquire

(

void

)

[inline]

Acquire lock ownership (wait on queue if necessary).

int ACE_Mutex::acquire

(

ACE_Time_Value *

tv )

[inline]

Block the thread until the mutex is acquired or *tv times out, in which case -1 is returned and errno == ETIME. If tv == 0 then call acquire() directly. Otherwise, block the thread until the mutex is acquired or tv times out, in which case -1 is returned and errno == ETIME.

Note:

*tv is assumed to be in "absolute" rather than "relative" time. The value of *tv is updated upon return to show the actual (absolute) acquisition time.

int ACE_Mutex::acquire

(

ACE_Time_Value &

tv )

[inline]

Block the thread until the mutex is acquired or tv times out, in which case -1 is returned and errno == ETIME.

Note:

tv is assumed to be in "absolute" rather than " relative" time. The value of tv is updated upon return to show the actual(absolute) acquisition time.

int ACE_Mutex::acquire_read

(

void

)

[inline]

Acquire mutex ownership.

This calls acquire and is only here to make the ACE_Mutex interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs.

int ACE_Mutex::acquire_write

(

void

)

[inline]

Acquire mutex ownership.

This calls acquire and is only here to make the ACE_Mutex interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs.

void ACE_Mutex::dump

(

void

)

const

Dump the state of an object.

const ACE_mutex_t & ACE_Mutex::lock

(

void

)

const [inline]

Return the underlying mutex.

ACE_mutex_t & ACE_Mutex::lock

(

void

)

[inline]

void ACE_Mutex::operator=

(

const ACE_Mutex &

)

[private]

int ACE_Mutex::release

(

void

)

[inline]

Release lock and unblock a thread at head of queue.

int ACE_Mutex::remove

(

void

)

[inline]

Explicitly destroy the mutex.

Note:

Only one thread should call this method since it doesn't protect against race conditions.

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire

(

void

)

[inline]

Conditionally acquire lock (i.e., don't wait on queue).

Returns:

-1 on failure. If we "failed" because someone else already had the lock, errno is set to EBUSY.

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire_read

(

void

)

[inline]

Conditionally acquire mutex (i.e., won't block).

This calls tryacquire and is only here to make the ACE_Mutex interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs.

Returns:

-1 on failure. If we "failed" because someone else already had the lock, errno is set to EBUSY.

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire_write

(

void

)

[inline]

Conditionally acquire mutex (i.e., won't block).

This calls tryacquire and is only here to make the ACE_Mutex interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs.

Returns:

-1 on failure. If we "failed" because someone else already had the lock, errno is set to EBUSY.

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire_write_upgrade

(

void

)

[inline]

This is only here for consistency with the other synchronization APIs and usability with Lock adapters. Assumes the caller already has acquired the mutex and returns 0 in all cases.

Member Data Documentation

ACE_Mutex::ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.

ACE_mutex_t ACE_Mutex::lock_

Mutex type supported by the OS.

bool ACE_Mutex::removed_

Keeps track of whether remove has been called yet to avoid multiple remove calls, e.g., explicitly and implicitly in the destructor. This flag isn't protected by a lock, so make sure that you don't have multiple threads simultaneously calling remove on the same object, which is a bad idea anyway.
