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() [1/2]

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::~ACE_Mutex

(

)

Implicitly destroy the mutex.

ACE_Mutex() [2/2]

ACE_Mutex::ACE_Mutex ( const ACE_Mutex &  )

privatedelete

Member Function Documentation

acquire() [1/3]

int ACE_Mutex::acquire ( )

inline

Acquire lock ownership (wait on queue if necessary).

acquire() [2/3]

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.

acquire() [3/3]

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.

acquire_read()

int ACE_Mutex::acquire_read ( )

inline

Acquire mutex ownership.

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

acquire_write()

int ACE_Mutex::acquire_write ( )

inline

Acquire mutex ownership.

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

dump()

void ACE_Mutex::dump

(

)

const

Dump the state of an object.

lock() [1/2]

ACE_mutex_t & ACE_Mutex::lock ( )

inline

lock() [2/2]

const ACE_mutex_t & ACE_Mutex::lock ( ) const

inline

Return the underlying mutex.

operator=()

ACE_Mutex & ACE_Mutex::operator= ( const ACE_Mutex &  )

privatedelete

release()

int ACE_Mutex::release ( )

inline

Release lock and unblock a thread at head of queue.

remove()

int ACE_Mutex::remove ( )

inline

Explicitly destroy the mutex.

Note

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

tryacquire()

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire ( )

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.

tryacquire_read()

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire_read ( )

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.

tryacquire_write()

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire_write ( )

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.

tryacquire_write_upgrade()

int ACE_Mutex::tryacquire_write_upgrade ( )

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.

unlink()

int ACE_Mutex::unlink ( const ACE_TCHAR *  name )

static

If a file was created as the underlying storage for the mutex, remove it from the filesystem (for process-shared mutexes).

Member Data Documentation

ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE

ACE_Mutex::ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.

lock_

ACE_mutex_t ACE_Mutex::lock_

Mutex type supported by the OS.

removed_

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.
