MonitorMixin

Adds monitor functionality to an arbitrary object by mixing the module with include. For example:

require 'monitor'

buf = []
buf.extend(MonitorMixin)
empty_cond = buf.new_cond

# consumer
Thread.start do
  loop do
    buf.synchronize do
      empty_cond.wait_while { buf.empty? }
      print buf.shift
    end
  end
end

# producer
while line = ARGF.gets
  buf.synchronize do
    buf.push(line)
    empty_cond.signal
  end
end

The consumer thread waits for the producer thread to push a line to buf while buf.empty?, and the producer thread (main thread) reads a line from ARGF and push it to buf, then call empty_cond.signal.

Public Instance Methods

mon_enter() click to toggle source

Enters exclusive section.

 
               # File monitor.rb, line 162
def mon_enter
  if @mon_owner != Thread.current
    @mon_mutex.lock
    @mon_owner = Thread.current
  end
  @mon_count += 1
end
            
mon_exit() click to toggle source

Leaves exclusive section.

 
               # File monitor.rb, line 173
def mon_exit
  mon_check_owner
  @mon_count -=1
  if @mon_count == 0
    @mon_owner = nil
    @mon_mutex.unlock
  end
end
            
mon_synchronize() click to toggle source

Enters exclusive section and executes the block. Leaves the exclusive section automatically when the block exits. See example under MonitorMixin.

 
               # File monitor.rb, line 187
def mon_synchronize
  mon_enter
  begin
    yield
  ensure
    mon_exit
  end
end
            
Also aliased as: synchronize
mon_try_enter() click to toggle source

Attempts to enter exclusive section. Returns false if lock fails.

 
               # File monitor.rb, line 146
def mon_try_enter
  if @mon_owner != Thread.current
    unless @mon_mutex.try_lock
      return false
    end
    @mon_owner = Thread.current
  end
  @mon_count += 1
  return true
end
            
Also aliased as: try_mon_enter
new_cond() click to toggle source

FIXME: This isn't documented in Nutshell.

 
               # File monitor.rb, line 200
def new_cond
  return ConditionVariable.new(self)
end
