Detailed Description

template<class MutexT>
class ion::base::GenericLockGuard< MutexT >

A LockGuard locks a mutex when created, and unlocks it when destroyed.

The LockGuard constructor may block waiting to acquire the mutex lock.

Member Function Documentation

template<class MutexT>

bool ion::base::GenericLockGuardBase< MutexT >::IsLocked ( ) const

inlineinherited

Returns whether this guard has locked the mutex; returns false even if another guard has it locked.

Use MutexT::IsLocked() to determine if the mutex itself is locked.

Definition at line 40 of file lockguards.h.

template<class MutexT>

void ion::base::GenericLockGuardBase< MutexT >::Lock ( )

inlineinherited

Locks the mutex if it is not already locked by this guard.

This function blocks if the mutex is locked elsewhere (e.g., by another guard).

Definition at line 44 of file lockguards.h.

template<class MutexT>

bool ion::base::GenericLockGuardBase< MutexT >::TryLock ( )

inlineinherited

Attempts to lock the mutex if the mutex is not already locked by this guard.

This function never blocks. Returns true if the mutex was successfully locked or if this guard has already locked it, and false otherwise.

Definition at line 55 of file lockguards.h.

template<class MutexT>

void ion::base::GenericLockGuardBase< MutexT >::Unlock ( )

inlineinherited

Releases a lock on the mutex if it was previously locked by this guard.

Definition at line 63 of file lockguards.h.

Member Data Documentation

template<class MutexT>

bool ion::base::GenericLockGuardBase< MutexT >::is_locked_

protectedinherited

Whether the mutex is currently locked by this guard.

Definition at line 81 of file lockguards.h.

template<class MutexT>

MutexT& ion::base::GenericLockGuardBase< MutexT >::mutex_

protectedinherited

The mutex used for locking.
