For example, it implements * "recursive mutex" semantics, where a thread that owns the token * can reacquire it without deadlocking. If the same thread calls * multiple times, however, it must call an * equal number of times before the token is actually released. * Threads that are blocked awaiting the token are serviced in * strict FIFO/LIFO order as other threads release the token (Solaris * and Pthread mutexes don't strictly enforce an acquisition * order). There are two lists within the class. Write * acquires always have higher priority over read acquires. Which * means, if you use both write/read operations, care must be * taken to avoid starvation on the readers. Notice that the * read/write acquire operations do not have the usual semantic of * reader/writer locks. Only one reader can acquire the token at * a time (which is different from the usual reader/writer locks * where several readers can acquire a lock at the same time as * long as there is no writer waiting for the lock). We choose * the names to (1) borrow the semantic to give writers higher * priority and (2) support a common interface for all locking * classes in ACE. */ class ACE_Export ACE_Token { public: /** * Available queueing strategies. */ enum QUEUEING_STRATEGY { /// FIFO, First In, First Out.
