Mutex

Hérite de : RefCounted < Object

Un Semaphore binaire pour la synchronisation de plusieurs Threads.

Description

A synchronization mutex (mutual exclusion). This is used to synchronize multiple Threads, and is equivalent to a binary Semaphore. It guarantees that only one thread can access a critical section at a time.

This is a reentrant mutex, meaning that it can be locked multiple times by one thread, provided it also unlocks it as many times.

Warning: To ensure proper cleanup without crashes or deadlocks, the following conditions must be met:

  • When a Mutex's reference count reaches zero and it is therefore destroyed, no threads (including the one on which the destruction will happen) must have it locked.

  • When a Thread's reference count reaches zero and it is therefore destroyed, it must not have any mutex locked.

Descriptions des méthodes

void lock() 🔗

Verrouille ce Mutex, le bloque jusqu'à ce qu'il soit déverrouillé par le propriétaire actuel.

Note : Cette fonction renvoie sans bloquer si ce thread est déjà le propriétaire du mutex.


bool try_lock() 🔗

Essaie de verrouiller ce Mutex, mais ne le bloque pas. Renvoie true en cas de succès, false sinon.

Note : Cette fonction renvoie true si le thread possède déjà le mutex.


void unlock() 🔗

Unlocks this Mutex, leaving it to other threads.

Note: If a thread called lock() or try_lock() multiple times while already having ownership of the mutex, it must also call unlock() the same number of times in order to unlock it correctly.

Warning: Calling unlock() more times than lock() on a given thread, thus ending up trying to unlock a non-locked mutex, is wrong and may causes crashes or deadlocks.
