boost::interprocess::file_lock
// In header: <boost/interprocess/sync/file_lock.hpp> class file_lock { public: // construct/copy/destruct (); (); (file_lock &&); file_lock & (file_lock &&); ~(); // public member functions (file_lock &); (); (); (); (); (); (); (); (); };
A file lock, is a mutual exclusion utility similar to a mutex using a file. A file lock has sharable and exclusive locking capabilities and can be used with scoped_lock and sharable_lock classes. A file lock can't guarantee synchronization between threads of the same process so just use file locks to synchronize threads from different processes.
file_lock
public
construct/copy/destruct();
Constructs an empty file mapping. Does not throw
( name);
Opens a file lock. Throws interprocess_exception
if the file does not exist or there are no operating system resources.
(file_lock && moved);
Moves the ownership of "moved"'s file mapping object to *this. After the call, "moved" does not represent any file mapping object. Does not throw
file_lock & (file_lock && moved);
Moves the ownership of "moved"'s file mapping to *this. After the call, "moved" does not represent any file mapping. Does not throw
~();Closes a file lock. Does not throw.
file_lock
public member functions(file_lock & other);
Swaps two file_locks. Does not throw.
();
Effects: The calling thread tries to obtain exclusive ownership of the mutex, and if another thread has exclusive, or sharable ownership of the mutex, it waits until it can obtain the ownership. Throws: interprocess_exception
on error.
();
Effects: The calling thread tries to acquire exclusive ownership of the mutex without waiting. If no other thread has exclusive, or sharable ownership of the mutex this succeeds. Returns: If it can acquire exclusive ownership immediately returns true. If it has to wait, returns false. Throws: interprocess_exception
on error.
( abs_time);
Effects: The calling thread tries to acquire exclusive ownership of the mutex waiting if necessary until no other thread has exclusive, or sharable ownership of the mutex or abs_time is reached. Returns: If acquires exclusive ownership, returns true. Otherwise returns false. Throws: interprocess_exception
on error.
();
Precondition: The thread must have exclusive ownership of the mutex. Effects: The calling thread releases the exclusive ownership of the mutex. Throws: An exception derived from interprocess_exception
on error.
