Detailed Description

Guarded interface to Semaphore objects used by user applications.

Implements the system call interface for class Semaphore. All methods provided by this class are wrappers for the respective method from the base class, which provide additional synchronization by using the class Guarded.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ GuardedSemaphore()

GuardedSemaphore::GuardedSemaphore ( int c )

inlineexplicit

The constructor passes the parameters to the base-class constructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ p()

void GuardedSemaphore::p ( )

inline

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.

Note: This method is equal to the correspondent method in base class Semaphore, with the only difference that the call will be protected by a Guarded object.

◆ v()

void GuardedSemaphore::v ( )

inline

Leave the critical area.

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

Note: This method is equal to the correspondent method in base class Semaphore, with the only difference that the call will be protected by a Guarded object.
