Member Function Documentation

virtual void Celartem::Semaphore::lock

(

)

const [virtual]

Locks the semaphore. The recursive locks in the same thread are counted, this behavior is not compatible with Mutex. For exception-safe programming, you should use Locker class instead of calling lock and unlock directly.

See also:

Locker

Implements Celartem::Lockable.

virtual void Celartem::Semaphore::unlock

(

)

const [virtual]

Unlocks the semaphore.
For exception-safe programming, you should use Locker class instead of calling lock and unlock directly.

Implements Celartem::Lockable.
