NAME

thread.h - Synchronization and threading services.

SYNOPSIS

#include <cc++/config.h>
#include <cc++/exception.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>

Compounds

class AtomicCounter
The AtomicCounter class offers thread-safe manipulation of an integer counter. atomic counter operation. class Buffer
The buffer class represents an IPC service that is built upon a buffer of fixed capacity that can be used to transfer objects between one or more producer and consumer threads. Producer/Consumer buffer for use between threads. class Conditional
A conditional variable synchcronization object for one to one and one to many signal and control events between processes. conditional. class Event
The Event class implements a feature originally found in the WIN32 API; event notification. Thread synchornization on event notification. class FixedBuffer
A buffer class that holds a known capacity of fixed sized objects defined during creation. producer/consumer buffer for fixed size objects. class Mutex
The Mutex class is used to protect a section of code so that at any given time only a single thread can perform the protected operation. Mutex lock for protected access. class MutexCounter
The Mutex Counter is a counter variable which can safely be incremented or decremented by multiple threads. Thread protected integer counter. class MutexLock
The MutexLock class is used to protect a section of code so that at any given time only a single thread can perform the protected operation. Mutex automatic locker for protected access. class Semaphore
A semaphore is generally used as a synchronization object between multiple threads or to protect a limited and finite resource such as a memory or thread pool. Semaphore counter for thread synchronization. class Thread
Every thread of execution in an application is created by instantiating an object of a class derived from the Thread class. base class used to derive all threads of execution. class ThreadKey
This class allows the creation of a thread context unique 'pointer' that can be set and retrieved and can be used to create thread specific data areas for implementing 'thread safe' library routines. container for thread specific data storage. class ThreadLock
The ThreadLock class impliments a thread rwlock for optimal reader performance on systems which have rwlock support, and reverts to a simple mutex for those that do not. Posix rwlock extension for protected access. class TimerPort
Timer ports are used to provide synchronized timing events when managed under a 'service thread' such as SocketService. synchronized millisecond timing for service threads.
