ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex > Class Template Reference

ACE_Condition template specialization written using ACE_Mutexes. This allows threads to block until shared data changes state. A condition variable enables threads to atomically block and test the condition under the protection of a mutual exclu- sion lock (mutex) until the condition is satisfied. That is, the mutex must have been held by the thread before calling wait or signal on the condition. If the condition is false, a thread blocks on a condition variable and atomically releases the mutex that is waiting for the condition to change. If another thread changes the condition, it may wake up waiting threads by signaling the associated condition variable. The waiting threads, upon awakening, reacquire the mutex and re-evaluate the condition. More...

Detailed Description

template<>
class ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >

ACE_Condition template specialization written using ACE_Mutexes. This allows threads to block until shared data changes state. A condition variable enables threads to atomically block and test the condition under the protection of a mutual exclu- sion lock (mutex) until the condition is satisfied. That is, the mutex must have been held by the thread before calling wait or signal on the condition. If the condition is false, a thread blocks on a condition variable and atomically releases the mutex that is waiting for the condition to change. If another thread changes the condition, it may wake up waiting threads by signaling the associated condition variable. The waiting threads, upon awakening, reacquire the mutex and re-evaluate the condition.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::ACE_Condition ( ACE_Thread_Mutex m,
const ACE_TCHAR name = 0,
void *  arg = 0 
)

Initialize the condition variable.

ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::ACE_Condition ( ACE_Thread_Mutex m,
const ACE_Condition_Attributes attributes,
const ACE_TCHAR name = 0,
void *  arg = 0 
)

Initialize the condition variable.

Implicitly destroy the condition variable.

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::broadcast ( void  )

Signal all waiting threads.

void ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::dump ( void  ) const

Dump the state of an object.

ACE_Thread_Mutex & ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::mutex ( void  )
inline

Returns a reference to the underlying mutex;.

void ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::operator= ( const ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex > &  )
private
int ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::remove ( void  )
inline

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

int ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::signal ( void  )

Signal one waiting thread.

int ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::wait ( const ACE_Time_Value abstime)

Block on condition, or until absolute time-of-day has passed. If abstime == 0 use "blocking" <wait> semantics. Else, if abstime != 0 and the call times out before the condition is signaled <wait> returns -1 and sets errno to ETIME.

int ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::wait ( void  )

Block on condition.

int ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::wait ( ACE_Thread_Mutex mutex,
const ACE_Time_Value abstime = 0 
)

Block on condition or until absolute time-of-day has passed. If abstime == 0 use "blocking" wait() semantics on the mutex passed as a parameter (this is useful if you need to store the <Condition> in shared memory). Else, if abstime != 0 and the call times out before the condition is signaled <wait> returns -1 and sets errno to ETIME.

Member Data Documentation

ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE

Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.

ACE_cond_t ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::cond_
protected

Condition variable.

Reference to mutex lock.

bool ACE_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >::removed_
protected

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...
