Detailed Description

Class implementing a Mutex. Mutexes are used to lock data structures to ensure that only a single thread of execution can access them at the same time.

Copy semantics

When copied, the receiving object does not receive any state from the object being copied, i.e. an entirely new mutex is created. This is consistent with expectations if a mutex is used as a member variable to lock the other member variables of a class: in that case, the mutex of the copied-to object should only guard the members of the copied-to object, not the members of both the copied-to and copied-from object.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Mutex() [1/2]

Threads::Mutex::Mutex ( )

inline

Default constructor.

Definition at line 295 of file thread_management.h.

Mutex() [2/2]

Threads::Mutex::Mutex ( const Mutex &  )

inline

Copy constructor. As discussed in this class's documentation, no state is copied from the object given as argument.

Definition at line 302 of file thread_management.h.

Member Function Documentation

operator=()

Mutex& Threads::Mutex::operator= ( const Mutex &  )

inline

Copy operators. As discussed in this class's documentation, no state is copied from the object given as argument.

Definition at line 312 of file thread_management.h.

acquire()

void Threads::Mutex::acquire ( )

inline

Acquire a mutex.

Definition at line 321 of file thread_management.h.

release()

void Threads::Mutex::release ( )

inline

Release the mutex again.

ConditionVariable

friend class ConditionVariable

friend

Make the class implementing condition variables a friend, since it needs to access the mutex.
