Detailed Description

Class that acquires, renews, and releases a process-local synchronization token.

Not a public interface. This class is a more general-purpose synchronization mechanism than SunOS 5.x mutexes. For example, it implements "recursive mutex" semantics, where a thread that owns the token can reacquire it without deadlocking. In addition, threads that are blocked awaiting the token are serviced in strict FIFO order as other threads release the token (SunOS 5.x mutexes don't strictly enforce an acquisition order).

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_RW_Token::acquire (  ACE_TPQ_Entry *    caller, int    ignore_deadlock, int    notify )  [virtual]

Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure with <ACE_Log_Msg::errnum> as the reason. If errnum == EWOULDBLOCK, and notify == 1, <ACE_Token_Proxy::sleep_hook> has been called on the current owner of the token. If ignore_deadlock is passed as 1 and errnum == EDEADLK, then deadlock was detected via ACE_Token_Manager. Implements ACE_Tokens.

void ACE_RW_Token::dump (  void    )  const

Dump the state of the class. Reimplemented from ACE_Tokens.

int ACE_RW_Token::is_owner (  const ACE_TCHAR *    id )  [virtual]

Returns 1 if <id> is an owner of this token. 0 otherwise. Implements ACE_Tokens.

int ACE_RW_Token::is_waiting_for (  const ACE_TCHAR *    id )  [virtual]

Returns 1 if <id> is waiting for this token. 0 otherwise. Implements ACE_Tokens.

void ACE_RW_Token::notify_new_owner (  ACE_TPQ_Entry *    caller )  [protected]

Sets the new owner.

int ACE_RW_Token::owners (  OWNER_STACK &    o, const ACE_TCHAR *    id )  [virtual]

Returns a stack of the current owners. Returns -1 on error, 0 on success. If <id> is non-zero, returns 1 if id is an owner. Implements ACE_Tokens.

int ACE_RW_Token::release (  ACE_TPQ_Entry *    caller )  [virtual]

Relinquish the token. If there are any waiters then the next one in line gets it. If the caller is not the owner, caller is removed from the waiter list. Implements ACE_Tokens.

int ACE_RW_Token::renew (  ACE_TPQ_Entry *    caller, int    requeue_position )  [virtual]

An optimized method that efficiently reacquires the token if no other threads are waiting. This is useful for situations where you don't want to degrade the quality of service if there are other threads waiting to get the token. If <requeue_position> == -1 and there are other threads waiting to obtain the token we are queued at the end of the list of waiters. If <requeue_position> > -1 then it indicates how many entries to skip over before inserting our thread into the list of waiters (e.g., <requeue_position> == 0 means "insert at front of the queue"). Renew has the rather odd semantics such that if there are other waiting threads it will give up the token even if the nesting_level_ > 1. I'm not sure if this is really the right thing to do (since it makes it possible for shared data to be changed unexpectedly) so use with caution... Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure with <ACE_Log_Msg::errnum> as the reason. If errnum == EWOULDBLOCK, and notify == 1, <ACE_Token_Proxy::sleep_hook> has been called on the current owner of the token. Implements ACE_Tokens.

int ACE_RW_Token::tryacquire (  ACE_TPQ_Entry *    caller )  [virtual]

Same as acquire except fails on would block. Implements ACE_Tokens.

virtual int ACE_RW_Token::type (  void    )  const [virtual]

Returns READER or WRITER. Implements ACE_Tokens.
