Instance Method Details

#exclusive(purpose: nil, compatible: [], after_compatible: [], no_wait: false) ⇒ Object

Execute the supplied block while holding the Exclusive lock. If no_wait is set and the lock is not immediately available, returns nil without yielding. Otherwise, returns the result of the block.

See start_exclusive for other options.

    # NB: Yields while holding our *internal* synchronize lock,
    # which is supposed to be used only for a few instructions at
    # a time. This allows the caller to inspect additional state
    # without things changing out from underneath, but would have
    # disastrous effects upon normal operation. Fortunately, this
    # method is only intended to be called when things have
    # already gone wrong.
    yield data
  end

#sharing ⇒ Object

Execute the supplied block while holding the Share lock.

#start_exclusive(purpose: nil, compatible: [], no_wait: false) ⇒ Object

Returns false if no_wait is set and the lock is not immediately available. Otherwise, returns true after the lock has been acquired.

purpose and compatible work together; while this thread is waiting for the exclusive lock, it will yield its share (if any) to any other attempt whose purpose appears in this attempt’s compatible list. This allows a “loose” upgrade, which, being less strict, prevents some classes of deadlocks.

For many resources, loose upgrades are sufficient: if a thread is awaiting a lock, it is not running any other code. With purpose matching, it is possible to yield only to other threads whose activity will not interfere.

#stop_exclusive(compatible: []) ⇒ Object

Relinquish the exclusive lock. Must only be called by the thread that called start_exclusive (and currently holds the lock).
