Detailed Description

A GatewaySemaphoreGroup is an extension to the SemaphoreGroup for creating only GatewaySemaphore types.

Default behavior for creating semaphores via the SemaphoreGroup interface is to create a Gateway and initialize it to a count of two (2) Use the createCountSemaphore(...) interface to accomplish initializing the GatewaySemaphore to a count > 2.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::GatewaySemaphoreGroup ( Short  ,
Int  Rights = OWNER_ALL 
) throw (Assertion,SemaphoreException)

Default constructor creates a private group semaphores with access for OWNER_ALL.

Parameters:
Short Number of semaphores in group
AccessRights Specifies access control for group
Exceptions:
Assertion if aCount < 1
SemaphoreException if kernel group create call fails.

AccessRights

corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::GatewaySemaphoreGroup ( Short  ,
SemaphoreGroupIdentifierCref  ,
Int  ,
CreateDisposition  disp = FAIL_IF_EXISTS 
) throw (Assertion,SemaphoreException)

Constructor to open or create a semaphore group with a specific identifier.

Parameters:
Short Number of semaphores in group, this only has meaning used if failOnExist = true
SemaphoreGroupIdentifier valid group identifier either through a system call or via another ipc mechanism
AccessRights Specifies access control for group
CreateDisposition indicates how to treat the conditions that the group may meet in the request:
CREATE_OR_REUSE indicates that the caller doesn't care
FAIL_IF_EXISTS indicates the attempt was for a create
FAIL_IF_NOTEXISTS indicates the attempt was for a open
Exceptions:
Assertion if aCount < 1
SemaphoreException for described states

corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::GatewaySemaphoreGroup ( Short  ,
CharCptr  aName,
Int  ,
CreateDisposition  disp = FAIL_IF_EXISTS 
) throw (Assertion,SemaphoreException)

Constructor to open or create a semaphore group by name.

Parameters:
Short Number of semaphores in group, this only has meaning used if failOnExist = true
Char pointer to Group name
AccessRights Specifies access control for group
CreateDisposition indicates how to treat the conditions that the group may meet in the request: CREATE_OR_REUSE indicates that the caller doesn't care FAIL_IF_EXISTS indicates the attempt was for a create FAIL_IF_NOTEXISTS indicates the attempt was for a open
Exceptions:
Assertion if aCount < 1 or aCount > system defined maximum for group
SemaphoreException for described states


Member Function Documentation

AbstractSemaphorePtr corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::createSemaphore ( void   )  throw ( SemaphoreException ) [virtual]

Create a default GatewaySemaphore.

Returns:
AbstractSemaphore aSem - pointer to created semaphore
Exceptions:
SemaphoreException if no sems left in group

Implements corelinux::SemaphoreGroup.

AbstractSemaphorePtr corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::createCountSemaphore ( Count  aCount  )  throw ( SemaphoreException ) [virtual]

Create a count GatewaySemaphore.

Parameters:
Count initializing count for GatewaySemaphore
Returns:
AbstractSemaphore aSem - pointer to created semaphore
Exceptions:
SemaphoreException if no sems left in group

AbstractSemaphorePtr corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::createSemaphore ( SemaphoreIdentifierRef  aIdentifier,
CreateDisposition  disp = CREATE_OR_REUSE,
bool  Recursive = false,
bool  Balking = false 
) throw ( SemaphoreException ) [virtual]

Create or open (use) a specific GatewaySemphore.

Parameters:
SemaphoreIdentifier identifies which semphore id to create or attempt to use
CreateDisposition indicates how to treat the conditions that the group may meet in the request: CREATE_OR_REUSE indicates that the caller doesn't care FAIL_IF_EXISTS indicates the attempt was for a create FAIL_IF_NOTEXISTS indicates the attempt was for a open
Recursive to allow same thread multiple locks
Balking to allow the semaphore to balk
Returns:
AbstractSemaphore aSem - pointer to created or opened semaphore
Exceptions:
SemaphoreException if the disposition disagrees with the semaphore state, or if it is a erroneous identifier

Implements corelinux::SemaphoreGroup.

AbstractSemaphorePtr corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::createCountSemaphore ( SemaphoreIdentifierRef  aIdentifier,
Count  aCount,
CreateDisposition  disp = CREATE_OR_REUSE,
bool  Recursive = false,
bool  Balking = false 
) throw ( SemaphoreException ) [virtual]

Create or open (use) a specific GatewaySemphore and have it automatically initialized to the specified count.

Parameters:
SemaphoreIdentifier identifies which semphore id to create or attempt to use
Count initializing count for GatewaySemaphore
CreateDisposition indicates how to treat the conditions that the group may meet in the request: CREATE_OR_REUSE indicates that the caller doesn't care FAIL_IF_EXISTS indicates the attempt was for a create FAIL_IF_NOTEXISTS indicates the attempt was for a open
Recursive to allow same thread multiple locks
Balking to allow the semaphore to balk
Returns:
AbstractSemaphore aSem - pointer to created or opened semaphore
Exceptions:
SemaphoreException if the disposition disagrees with the semaphore state, or if it is a erroneous identifier

AbstractSemaphorePtr corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::createSemaphore ( std::string  aName,
CreateDisposition  disp = CREATE_OR_REUSE,
bool  Recursive = false,
bool  Balking = false 
) throw ( SemaphoreException ) [virtual]

Create or open (use) a specific GatewaySemphore.

Parameters:
string identifies which semphore id to create or attempt to use
CreateDisposition indicates how to treat the conditions that the group may meet in the request: CREATE_OR_REUSE indicates that the caller doesn't care FAIL_IF_EXISTS indicates the attempt was for a create FAIL_IF_NOTEXISTS indicates the attempt was for a open
Recursive to allow same thread multiple locks
Balking to allow the semaphore to balk
Returns:
AbstractSemaphore aSem - pointer to created or opened semaphore
Exceptions:
SemaphoreException if the disposition disagrees with the semaphore state, or if it is a erroneous identifier

Implements corelinux::SemaphoreGroup.

void corelinux::GatewaySemaphoreGroup::destroySemaphore ( AbstractSemaphorePtr   )  throw ( SemaphoreException ) [virtual]

Destroys a created GatewaySemaphore.

Note:
Reference counting is not enabled so applications should ensure that only one (1) destroy is called per semaphore.
Parameters:
AbstractSemaphore pointer of semaphore to destroy
Exceptions:
SemaphoreException if semaphore does not belong to this group or if already destroyed.

Implements corelinux::SemaphoreGroup.
