Detailed Description

Implements a thread barrier using mutex locking and condition variables that can be used to synchronize threads.

Definition at line 25 of file thread_barrier_mutex.hpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ThreadBarrierMutex ( size_t  thread_count )

inlineexplicit

Creates a new barrier that waits for n threads.

Definition at line 31 of file thread_barrier_mutex.hpp.

Member Function Documentation

size_t step ( ) const

inline

return generation step bit: 0 or 1

Definition at line 76 of file thread_barrier_mutex.hpp.

void wait ( Lambda  lambda = Lambda() )

inline

Waits for n threads to arrive.

This method blocks and returns as soon as n threads are waiting inside the method. Prior to continuing work, the lambda functor is called by the last thread entering the barrier.

Definition at line 42 of file thread_barrier_mutex.hpp.

void wait_yield ( Lambda  lambda = Lambda() )

inline

Waits for n threads to arrive.

Identical with wait() for ThreadBarrierMutex.

This method blocks and returns as soon as n threads are waiting inside the method. Prior to continuing work, the lambda functor is called by the last thread entering the barrier.

Definition at line 71 of file thread_barrier_mutex.hpp.
