Detailed Description

The QSemaphore class provides a general counting semaphore.

A semaphore is a generalization of a mutex. While a mutex can only be locked once, it's possible to acquire a semaphore multiple times. Semaphores are typically used to protect a certain number of identical resources.

Semaphores support two fundamental operations, acquire() and release():

  • acquire(n) tries to acquire n resources. If there aren't that many resources available, the call will block until this is the case.
  • release(n) releases n resources.

There's also a tryAcquire() function that returns immediately if it cannot acquire the resources, and an available() function that returns the number of available resources at any time.

Example:

    QSemaphore sem(5);      // sem.available() == 5

    sem.acquire(3);         // sem.available() == 2
    sem.acquire(2);         // sem.available() == 0
    sem.release(5);         // sem.available() == 5
    sem.release(5);         // sem.available() == 10

    sem.tryAcquire(1);      // sem.available() == 9, returns true
    sem.tryAcquire(250);    // sem.available() == 9, returns false

A typical application of semaphores is for controlling access to a circular buffer shared by a producer thread and a consumer thread. The Semaphores example shows how to use QSemaphore to solve that problem.

A non-computing example of a semaphore would be dining at a restaurant. A semaphore is initialized with the number of chairs in the restaurant. As people arrive, they want a seat. As seats are filled, available() is decremented. As people leave, the available() is incremented, allowing more people to enter. If a party of 10 people want to be seated, but there are only 9 seats, those 10 people will wait, but a party of 4 people would be seated (taking the available seats to 5, making the party of 10 people wait longer).

Member Function Documentation

QSemaphore::QSemaphore ( int n = 0 )

Creates a new semaphore and initializes the number of resources it guards to n (by default, 0).

See also release() and available().

QSemaphore::~QSemaphore ()

Destroys the semaphore.

Warning: Destroying a semaphore that is in use may result in undefined behavior.

void QSemaphore::acquire ( int n = 1 )

Tries to acquire n resources guarded by the semaphore. If n > available(), this call will block until enough resources are available.

See also release(), available(), and tryAcquire().

int QSemaphore::available () const

Returns the number of resources currently available to the semaphore. This number can never be negative.

See also acquire() and release().

void QSemaphore::release ( int n = 1 )

Releases n resources guarded by the semaphore.

This function can be used to "create" resources as well. For example:

    QSemaphore sem(5);      // a semaphore that guards 5 resources
    sem.acquire(5);         // acquire all 5 resources
    sem.release(5);         // release the 5 resources
    sem.release(10);        // "create" 10 new resources

See also acquire() and available().

bool QSemaphore::tryAcquire ( int n = 1 )

Tries to acquire n resources guarded by the semaphore and returns true on success. If available() < n, this call immediately returns false without acquiring any resources.

Example:

    QSemaphore sem(5);      // sem.available() == 5
    sem.tryAcquire(250);    // sem.available() == 5, returns false
    sem.tryAcquire(3);      // sem.available() == 2, returns true

See also acquire().
