Detailed Description

Wrapper for Dijkstra style general semaphores that work across processes.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Process_Semaphore::ACE_Process_Semaphore u_int  count = 1,
const ACE_TCHAR name = 0,
void *  = 0,
int  max = 0x7FFFFFFF
 

Initialize the semaphore, with an initial value of count and a maximum value of max.

ACE_Process_Semaphore::~ACE_Process_Semaphore void   ) 
 

This method is a no-op, i.e., it doesn't remove the semaphore. If you want to remove the semaphore, you must call the <remove> method explicitly.


Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::acquire void   ) 
 

Block the thread until the semaphore count becomes greater than 0, then decrement it.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Process_Semaphore::acquire_read void   ) 
 

Acquire semaphore ownership. This calls <acquire> and is only here to make the <ace_process_semaphore> interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Process_Semaphore::acquire_write void   ) 
 

Acquire semaphore ownership. This calls <acquire> and is only here to make the <ace_process_semaphore> interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs.

void ACE_Process_Semaphore::dump void   )  const
 

Dump the state of an object.

const ACE_sema_t& ACE_Process_Semaphore::lock void   )  const
 

Return the underlying lock.

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::release void   ) 
 

Increment the semaphore, potentially unblocking a waiting thread.

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::remove void   ) 
 

Explicitly destroy the semaphore. Note that only one thread should call this method since it doesn't protect against race conditions.

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::tryacquire void   ) 
 

Conditionally decrement the semaphore if count is greater than 0 (i.e., won't block). Returns -1 on failure. If we "failed" because someone else already had the lock, errno is set to EBUSY.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Process_Semaphore::tryacquire_read void   ) 
 

Conditionally acquire semaphore (i.e., won't block). This calls <tryacquire> and is only here to make the <ace_process_semaphore> 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>.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Process_Semaphore::tryacquire_write void   ) 
 

Conditionally acquire semaphore (i.e., won't block). This calls <tryacquire> and is only here to make the <ace_process_semaphore> 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>.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_Process_Semaphore::tryacquire_write_upgrade void   ) 
 

This is only here to make the <ace_process_semaphore> interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs. Assumes the caller has already acquired the semaphore using one of the above calls, and returns 0 (success) always.
