Detailed Description

template<class Resource>
class RWTWriteGuardBase< Resource >

RWTWriteGuardBase<Resource> is intended as a base class for guard classes that need to support write access to a given section of code. Guard objects work in conjunction with block statements in such a way as to establish an appropriate state upon creation, maintain that state for the duration of the block, and restore the original state upon destruction. For example, a guard may acquire a mutex for writing upon creation and release it when destructed. The class used as the actual template parameter for Resource must be one that provides acquireWrite and release methods (such as the synchronization classes provided in this module).

Member Function Documentation

template<class Resource >

void RWTWriteGuardBase< Resource >::acquire

(

void

)

[inline]

Acquires write access on the resource held by the guard unless it is already acquired. Uses this function instead of directly manipulating the resource so that the guard will automatically release or acquire it (as appropriate).

template<class Resource >

bool RWTWriteGuardBase< Resource >::isAcquired

(

)

const [inline]

Returns true if the resource is currently acquired.

template<class Resource >

RWTWriteGuardBase<Resource>& RWTWriteGuardBase< Resource >::operator=

(

const RWTWriteGuardBase< Resource > &

second

)

[private]

Assignment prohibited.

template<class Resource >

void RWTWriteGuardBase< Resource >::release

(

void

)

[inline]

Releases the resource held by the guard if it has been acquired. Uses this function instead of directly manipulating the resource so that the guard will automatically release or acquire it (as appropriate).

template<class Resource >

Resource & RWTWriteGuardBase< Resource >::resource

(

)

const [inline, protected]

Returns a reference to the resource currently held by the guard.
