Detailed Description

Wrapper for readers/writer locks that exist across processes.

Note that because this class uses the <ACE_File_Lock> as its implementation it only can be reliably used between separate processes, rather than threads in the same process. This isn't a limitation of ACE, it's simply the file lock semantics on UNIX and Win32.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::ACE_RW_Process_Mutex const ACE_TCHAR   name = 0,
int    flags = O_CREAT|O_RDWR
 

Create a readers/writer <Process_Mutex>, passing in the optional <name>. If not specified, a name is generated.

Member Function Documentation

ACE_INLINE int ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::acquire void   
 

Acquire lock ownership (wait on queue if necessary).

ACE_INLINE int ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::acquire_read void   
 

Acquire lock ownership (wait on queue if necessary).

ACE_INLINE int ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::acquire_write void   
 

Acquire lock ownership (wait on queue if necessary).

void ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::dump void    const
 

Dump the state of an object.

ACE_INLINE const ACE_File_Lock & ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::lock void    const
 

Return the underlying lock.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::release void   
 

Release lock and unblock a thread at head of queue.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::remove void   
 

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

ACE_INLINE int ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::tryacquire void   
 

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>.

ACE_INLINE int ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::tryacquire_read void   
 

Conditionally acquire a lock (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_RW_Process_Mutex::tryacquire_write void   
 

Conditionally acquire a lock (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_RW_Process_Mutex::tryacquire_write_upgrade void   
 

Attempt to upgrade a read lock to a write lock. Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.

const ACE_TCHAR * ACE_RW_Process_Mutex::unique_name void    [private]
 

Create and return the unique name.

If the user does not provide a name we generate a unique name in this buffer.
