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 *  arg = 0,
int  max = 0x7FFFFFFF 
)

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

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::acquire ( void  )

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

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::acquire_read ( void  )
inline

Acquire semaphore ownership. This calls acquire() and is only here to make the ACE_Process_Semaphore interface consistent with the other synchronization APIs.

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::acquire_write ( void  )
inline

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
inline

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.

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::tryacquire_read ( void  )
inline

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.

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::tryacquire_write ( void  )
inline

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.

int ACE_Process_Semaphore::tryacquire_write_upgrade ( void  )
inline

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.
