Detailed Description

This is a more complex semaphore wrapper that handles race conditions for initialization correctly...

This code is a port to C++, inspired by: W. Richard Stevens from his book: UNIX Network Programming (Prentice Hall, ISBN 0-13-949876-1 - 1990). We provide a simpler and easier to understand interface to the System V Semaphore system calls. We create and use a 2 + n-member set for the requested <ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex>. The first member, [0], is a counter used to know when all processes have finished with the <ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex>. The counter is initialized to a large number, decremented on every create or open and incremented on every close. This way we can use the "adjust" feature provided by System V so that any process that exit's without calling <close> is accounted for. It doesn't help us if the last process does this (as we have no way of getting control to remove the <ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex>) but it will work if any process other than the last does an exit (intentional or unintentional). The second member, [1], of the semaphore is used as a lock variable to avoid any race conditions in the <create> and <close> functions. The members beyond [1] are actual semaphore values in the array of semaphores, which may be sized by the user in the constructor.

Member Function Documentation

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::acquire	(	u_short	n = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Acquire the semaphore.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::acquire_read	(	u_short	n = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Acquire a semaphore for reading.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::acquire_write	(	u_short	n = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Acquire a semaphore for writing.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::close ( void )

Close an ACE_SV_Semaphore. Unlike the <remove> method, this method is for a process to call before it exits, when it is done with the ACE_SV_Semaphore. We "decrement" the counter of processes using the ACE_SV_Semaphore, and if this was the last one, we can remove the ACE_SV_Semaphore.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::control	(	int	cmd,
		semun	arg,
		u_short	n = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::control	(	int	cmd,
		int	value = `0`,
		u_short	n = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

void ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::dump ( void ) const

Dump the state of an object.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::op	(	short	val,
		u_short	semnum = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

General ACE_SV_Semaphore operation. Increment or decrement by a specific amount (positive or negative; amount can`t be zero).

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::op	(	sembuf	op_vec[],
		u_short	nsems
	)		const `[inline]`

General ACE_SV_Semaphore operation on an array of SV_Semaphores.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::open	(	const char *	name,
		short	flags = `ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple::ACE_CREATE`,
		int	initial_value = `1`,
		u_short	nsems = `1`,
		mode_t	perms = `ACE_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMS`
	)

Open or create an array of SV_Semaphores. We return 0 if all is OK, else -1.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::open	(	key_t	key,
		short	flags = `ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple::ACE_CREATE`,
		int	initial_value = `1`,
		u_short	nsems = `1`,
		mode_t	perms = `ACE_DEFAULT_FILE_PERMS`
	)

Open or create an array of SV_Semaphores. We return 0 if all is OK, else -1.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::release	(	u_short	n = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Release the semaphore.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::tryacquire	(	u_short	n = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Try to acquire the semaphore.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::tryacquire_read	(	u_short	n = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Try to acquire the semaphore for reading.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.

int ACE_SV_Semaphore_Complex::tryacquire_write	(	u_short	n = `0`,
		short	flags = `0`
	)		const `[inline]`

Try to acquire the semaphore for writing.

Reimplemented from ACE_SV_Semaphore_Simple.
