boost::interprocess::named_mutex
// In header: <boost/interprocess/sync/named_mutex.hpp> class named_mutex { public: // construct/copy/destruct (create_only_t, , permissions & = permissions()); (open_or_create_t, , permissions & = permissions()); (open_only_t, ); (create_only_t, , permissions & = permissions()); (open_or_create_t, , permissions & = permissions()); (open_only_t, ); ~(); // public member functions (); (); (); template<typename TimePoint> (); template<typename TimePoint> (); template<typename Duration> (); // public static functions (); (); };
A mutex with a global name, so it can be found from different processes. This mutex can't be placed in shared memory, and each process should have it's own named_mutex.
named_mutex
public
construct/copy/destruct(create_only_t, name, permissions & perm = permissions());
Creates a global mutex with a name. Throws interprocess_exception
on error.
(open_or_create_t, name, permissions & perm = permissions());
Opens or creates a global mutex with a name. If the mutex is created, this call is equivalent to named_mutex(create_only_t, ... ) If the mutex is already created, this call is equivalent named_mutex(open_only_t, ... ) Does not throw
(open_only_t, name);
Opens a global mutex with a name if that mutex is previously created. If it is not previously created this function throws interprocess_exception
.
(create_only_t, name, permissions & perm = permissions());
Creates a global mutex with a name. Throws interprocess_exception
on error.
Note: This function is only available on operating systems with native wchar_t APIs (e.g. Windows).
(open_or_create_t, name, permissions & perm = permissions());
Opens or creates a global mutex with a name. If the mutex is created, this call is equivalent to named_mutex(create_only_t, ... ) If the mutex is already created, this call is equivalent named_mutex(open_only_t, ... ) Does not throw
Note: This function is only available on operating systems with native wchar_t APIs (e.g. Windows).
(open_only_t, name);
Opens a global mutex with a name if that mutex is previously created. If it is not previously created this function throws interprocess_exception
.
Note: This function is only available on operating systems with native wchar_t APIs (e.g. Windows).
~();
Destroys *this and indicates that the calling process is finished using the resource. The destructor function will deallocate any system resources allocated by the system for use by this process for this resource. The resource can still be opened again calling the open constructor overload. To erase the resource from the system use remove().
named_mutex
public member functions();
Unlocks a previously locked mutex.
();
Requires: The calling thread does not own the mutex.
Locks the mutex, sleeps when the mutex is already locked. Throws interprocess_exception
if a severe error is found
Note: A program may deadlock if the thread that has ownership calls this function. If the implementation can detect the deadlock, an exception could be thrown.
();
Requires: The calling thread does not own the mutex.
Tries to lock the mutex, returns false when the mutex is already locked, returns true when success. Throws interprocess_exception
if a severe error is found
Note: A program may deadlock if the thread that has ownership calls this function. If the implementation can detect the deadlock, an exception could be thrown.
template<typename TimePoint> ( abs_time);
Requires: The calling thread does not own the mutex.
Tries to lock the the mutex until time abs_time, Returns false when timeout expires, returns true when locks. Throws interprocess_exception
if a severe error is found
Note: A program may deadlock if the thread that has ownership calls this function. If the implementation can detect the deadlock, an exception could be thrown.
template<typename TimePoint> ( abs_time);
Same as timed_lock
, but this function is modeled after the standard library interface.
template<typename Duration> ( dur);
Same as timed_lock
, but this function is modeled after the standard library interface.
