Detailed Description

A POSIX semaphore.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

nidas::util::Semaphore::Semaphore ( )

inline

Constructor.

nidas::util::Semaphore::~Semaphore ( )

inline

Destructor.

nidas::util::Semaphore::Semaphore ( const Semaphore &  )

private

No copying.

Member Function Documentation

bool nidas::util::Semaphore::check ( ) throw ( )

inline

Do a non-blocking wait on the Semaphore.

Returns

true Semaphore had a non-zero count, which was decremented. false Semaphore was zero. Not changed.

int nidas::util::Semaphore::getValue ( ) throw ( )

inline

Get the current value of the Semaphore.

Semaphore& nidas::util::Semaphore::operator= ( const Semaphore &  )

private

No assignment allowed.

void nidas::util::Semaphore::post ( ) throw ( )

inline

Atomically increment the Semaphore.

sem_t* nidas::util::Semaphore::ptr ( )

inline

Get the pointer to the semaphore (for legacy C code).

void nidas::util::Semaphore::wait ( ) throw ( )

inline

Suspend calling thread until the semaphore has a non-zero count.

Then atomically decrement the semaphore count and return;
