2.5 Interthread Communication Package
2.5.1 Description
The Interthread Communication package includes a family of templatized, value and pointer-based queue and stack classes that use producer-consumer synchronization semantics to coordinate multithread access. For more information about the Interthread Communication package, see Chapter 5 of the Threads Module User's Guide.
2.5.2 Interthread Communication Class Hierarchies
Figure 6: Producer-consumer class hierarchy
Figure 7 shows the IOU class hierarchy. All of these classes are in the Interthread Communication package, except for the base classes and RWTThreadEscrowImp<Redeemable>, which is in the Threading package. (See Section 2.9.3, "The IOU Class in the Threading Package.")
