Detailed Description

template<class MUTEX>
class ACE_Condition< MUTEX >

ACE_Condition variable wrapper, which 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. Note, you can only parameterize with ACE_Thread_Mutex, ACE_Recursive_Thread_Mutex, or ACE_Null_Mutex.

template<class MUTEX> ACE_INLINE int ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::broadcast (  void   )

Signal *all* waiting threads. Definition at line 110 of file Condition_Recursive_Thread_Mutex.cpp. References ACE_OS::cond_broadcast(). { return ACE_OS::cond_broadcast (&this->cond_); }

template<class MUTEX> ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL void ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::dump (  void   )  const

Dump the state of an object. Reimplemented in ACE_Thread_Condition< MUTEX >, and ACE_Thread_Condition< ACE_Thread_Mutex >. Definition at line 30 of file Condition_Recursive_Thread_Mutex.cpp. References ACE_BEGIN_DUMP, ACE_DEBUG, ACE_END_DUMP, ACE_TEXT, and LM_DEBUG. Referenced by ACE_Thread_Condition< MUTEX >::dump(). { #if defined (ACE_HAS_DUMP) // ACE_TRACE ("ACE_Condition<MUTEX>::dump"); ACE_DEBUG ((LM_DEBUG, ACE_BEGIN_DUMP, this)); // No dump method for ACE_cond_t even in emulated mode. // cond_.dump (); this->mutex_.dump (); ACE_DEBUG ((LM_DEBUG, ACE_TEXT ("\n"))); ACE_DEBUG ((LM_DEBUG, ACE_END_DUMP)); #endif /* ACE_HAS_DUMP */ }

template<class MUTEX> ACE_INLINE MUTEX & ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::mutex (  void   )

Returns a reference to the underlying mutex_;. Definition at line 116 of file Condition_Recursive_Thread_Mutex.cpp. { return this->mutex_; }

template<class MUTEX> void ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::operator= (  const ACE_Condition< MUTEX > &   )  [private]

template<class MUTEX> ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL ACE_INLINE int ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::remove (  void   )

Explicitly destroy the condition variable. Definition at line 24 of file Condition_Recursive_Thread_Mutex.cpp. References ACE_OS::cond_destroy(). Referenced by ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::~ACE_Condition(). { return ACE_OS::cond_destroy (&this->cond_); }

template<class MUTEX> ACE_INLINE int ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::signal (  void   )

Signal one waiting thread. Definition at line 104 of file Condition_Recursive_Thread_Mutex.cpp. References ACE_OS::cond_signal(). { return ACE_OS::cond_signal (&this->cond_); }

template<class MUTEX> int ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::wait (  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 passed as a parameter (this is useful if you need to store the in shared memory). Else, if != 0 and the call times out before the condition is signaled returns -1 and sets errno to ETIME.

template<class MUTEX> int ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::wait (  void   )

Block on condition. Definition at line 86 of file Condition_T.cpp. References ACE_OS::cond_wait(). Referenced by ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::wait(). { // ACE_TRACE ("ACE_Condition<MUTEX>::wait"); return ACE_OS::cond_wait (&this->cond_, &this->mutex_.lock_); }

template<class MUTEX> int ACE_Condition< MUTEX >::wait (  const ACE_Time_Value *  abstime  )

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