Detailed Description

a simple thread-safe counter object; objects can block on it until the counter reaches zero

Member Function Documentation

DLLEXPORT int QoreCounter::dec ( ExceptionSink * xsink )

decrements the counter and wakes up any threads if the counter reaches 0

a Qore-language exception will be raised here if QoreCounter::destructor() has already been run before calling this function.

Parameters

xsink any Qore-language exception thrown will be added here

DLLEXPORT int QoreCounter::inc ( )

increments the counter

DLLEXPORT int QoreCounter::waitForZero	(	ExceptionSink *	xsink,
		int	timeout_ms = `0`
	)

blocks the calling thread until the counter reaches 0

a Qore-language exception will be raised here if QoreCounter::destructor() is run while threads are still blocked

Parameters

xsink	any Qore-language exception thrown will be added here
timeout_ms	indicates a timeout in milliseconds to wait, 0 means no timeout
