ACE_Lock_Adapter Class Template Reference

This is an adapter that allows applications to transparently combine the <ACE_Lock> abstract base class (which contains pure virtual methods) with any of the other concrete ACE synchronization classes (e.g., <ACE_Mutex>, <ACE_Semaphore>, <ACE_RW_Mutex>, etc.). More...

Public Methods

 ACE_Lock_Adapter (ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM &lock)
 Constructor. All locking requests will be forwarded to <lock>. More...

 ACE_Lock_Adapter (void)
 Constructor. Since no lock is provided by the user, one will be created internally. More...

virtual ~ACE_Lock_Adapter (void)
 Destructor. If <lock_> was not passed in by the user, it will be deleted. More...

virtual int acquire (void)
 Block the thread until the lock is acquired. More...

virtual int tryacquire (void)
 Conditionally acquire the lock (i.e., won't block). More...

virtual int release (void)
 Release the lock. More...

virtual int acquire_read (void)
virtual int acquire_write (void)
virtual int tryacquire_read (void)
 Conditionally acquire a read lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. More...

virtual int tryacquire_write (void)
 Conditionally acquire a write lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. More...

virtual int tryacquire_write_upgrade (void)
virtual int remove (void)
 Explicitly destroy the lock. More...


Private Attributes

ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM * lock_
 The concrete locking mechanism that all the methods delegate to. More...

int delete_lock_
 This flag keep track of whether we are responsible for deleting the lock. More...


Detailed Description

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
class ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >

This is an adapter that allows applications to transparently combine the <ACE_Lock> abstract base class (which contains pure virtual methods) with any of the other concrete ACE synchronization classes (e.g., <ACE_Mutex>, <ACE_Semaphore>, <ACE_RW_Mutex>, etc.).

This class uses a form of the Adapter pattern.

Member Function Documentation

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::acquire void    [virtual]
 

Block the thread until the lock is acquired.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::acquire_read void    [virtual]
 

Block until the thread acquires a read lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::acquire_write void    [virtual]
 

Block until the thread acquires a write lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::release void    [virtual]
 

Release the lock.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::remove void    [virtual]
 

Explicitly destroy the lock.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire void    [virtual]
 

Conditionally acquire the lock (i.e., won't block).

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire_read void    [virtual]
 

Conditionally acquire a read lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire_write void    [virtual]
 

Conditionally acquire a write lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire_write_upgrade void    [virtual]
 

Conditionally try to upgrade a lock held for read to a write lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure.

Reimplemented from ACE_Lock.
