Detailed Description

Semaphore used for synchronization of threads.

The class Semaphore implements the concept of counting semaphores. The waiting list is provided by the base class Waitingroom.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Semaphore()

Semaphore::Semaphore ( unsigned c = 0 )

inlineexplicit

Constructor; initialized the counter with provided value c

Parameters

c	Initial counter value

Member Function Documentation

◆ p()

void Semaphore::p ( )

Wait for access to the critical area.

Enter/Wait operation: If the counter is greater than 0, then it is decremented by one. Otherwise the calling thread will be enqueued into the Waitingroom and marked as blocked.

◆ v()

void Semaphore::v ( )

Leave the critical area.

Leave operation: If there are threads in the Waitingroom, wake the first one; otherwise increment the counter by one.
