Detailed Description

Advisory locking.

This class defines a simple interface for shared and exclusive locks.


Member Typedef Documentation

typedef custom_error<error_code> sbuild::lock::error

Exception type.


Member Enumeration Documentation

enum sbuild::lock::type

Lock type.

Enumerator:
LOCK_SHARED  A shared (read) lock.
LOCK_EXCLUSIVE  An exclusive (write) lock.
LOCK_NONE  No lock.

enum sbuild::lock::error_code

Error codes.

Enumerator:
TIMEOUT_HANDLER  Failed to set timeout handler.
TIMEOUT_SET  Failed to set timeout.
TIMEOUT_CANCEL  Failed to cancel timeout.
LOCK  Failed to lock file.
UNLOCK  Failed to unlock file.
LOCK_TIMEOUT  Failed to lock file (timed out).
UNLOCK_TIMEOUT  Failed to unlock file (timed out).
DEVICE_LOCK  Failed to lock device.
DEVICE_LOCK_TIMEOUT  Failed to lock device (timed out).
DEVICE_TEST  Failed to test device lock.
DEVICE_UNLOCK  Failed to unlock device.
DEVICE_UNLOCK_TIMEOUT  Failed to unlock device (timed out).


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

lock::lock (  )  [protected]

The constructor.

lock::~lock (  )  [protected, virtual]

The destructor.


Member Function Documentation

virtual void sbuild::lock::set_lock ( type  lock_type,
unsigned int  timeout 
) [pure virtual]

Acquire a lock.

Parameters:
lock_type the type of lock to acquire.
timeout the time in seconds to wait on the lock.

Implemented in sbuild::file_lock, and sbuild::device_lock.

virtual void sbuild::lock::unset_lock (  )  [pure virtual]

Release a lock.

This is equivalent to set_lock with a lock_type of LOCK_NONE and a timeout of 0.

Implemented in sbuild::file_lock, and sbuild::device_lock.

void lock::set_alarm (  )  [protected]

Set the SIGALARM handler.

An error will be thrown on failure.

void lock::clear_alarm (  )  [protected]

Restore the state of SIGALRM prior to starting lock acquisition.

void lock::set_timer ( struct itimerval const &  timer  )  [protected]

Set up an itimer for future expiry.

This is used to interrupt system calls. This will set a handler for SIGALRM as a side effect (using set_alarm).

An error will be thrown on failure.

Parameters:
timer the timeout to set.

void lock::unset_timer (  )  [protected]

Remove any itimer currently set up.

This will clear any SIGALRM handler (using clear_alarm).

An error will be thrown on failure.
