NAME
ACE_Thread_Condition -
ACE_Condition variable wrapper that works within processes.
SYNOPSIS
#include <ace/Synch_T.h>
template<class MUTEX>
class ACE_Thread_Condition : public ACE_Condition<MUTEX>
{
public:
ACE_Thread_Condition (MUTEX &m, LPCTSTR name = 0, void *arg = 0);
void dump (void) const;
};
DESCRIPTION
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.
Initialization method.
ACE_Thread_Condition (MUTEX &m, LPCTSTR name = 0, void *arg = 0);
void dump (void) const;
Dump the state of an object.
ACE_ALLOC_HOOK_DECLARE;
Declare the dynamic allocation hooks.
