Detailed Description

A EventSemaphoreGroup is an extension to the SemaphoreGroup for creating only EventSemaphore types.

Default behavior for creating semaphores via the SemaphoreGroup interface is to create a Event and autolock it. There is no option for not autolocking it.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

corelinux::EventSemaphoreGroup::EventSemaphoreGroup ( Short  aSemCount,
Int  aRightSet = OWNER_ALL 
) throw (Assertion,SemaphoreException)

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

Maximum limit of listeners will be set to "infinity"

Parameters:
aSemCount Number of semaphores in group
aRightSet access control for group
Exceptions:
Assertion if aSemCount < 1
SemaphoreException if kernel group create call fails.

corelinux::EventSemaphoreGroup::EventSemaphoreGroup ( Short  aSemCount,
SemaphoreGroupIdentifierCref  aGID,
Int  aRightSet,
CreateDisposition  disp = FAIL_IF_EXISTS 
) throw (Assertion,SemaphoreException)

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

Maximum limit of listeners will be set to "infinity".

Parameters:
aSemCount Number of semaphores in group, this only has meaning used if failOnExist = true
aGID valid group identifier either through a system call or via another ipc mechanism
aRightSet Specifies access control for group
dist 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::EventSemaphoreGroup::EventSemaphoreGroup ( Short  aSemCount,
CharCptr  aName,
Int  aRightSet,
CreateDisposition  disp = FAIL_IF_EXISTS 
) throw (Assertion,SemaphoreException)

Constructor to open or create a semaphore group by name.

Maximum limit of listeners is set to "infinity"

Parameters:
aSemCount Short Number of semaphores in group, this only has meaning used if failOnExist = true
aName pointer to Group name
aRightSet specifies access control for group
disp 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
