Detailed Description

Interface for a synchronized object.

Note that NONE of these callbacks are exception safe! If you let an exception propagate through the callback anything could happen!

Member Function Documentation

virtual void Safir::Utilities::Synchronized::Create ( )

pure virtual

Guarantees are that only one call to Create in all processes will be made.

Even the process that gets a call to Create will get a call to Use after Create is finished. Use this callback to create the shared resource.

Note that this callback must not assume that a previous instance has been able to call Destroy (see below), but may have to perform cleanup before creating the shared resource.

virtual void Safir::Utilities::Synchronized::Destroy ( )

pure virtual

This callback will be called when the last process destroys its StartupSynchronizer.

Use it to perform any cleanup.

Note that a call to Destroy is not guaranteed, only a best effort is made to call this. The last instance could be killed by a signal anyway, so there is no point in making this a strong guarantee.

virtual void Safir::Utilities::Synchronized::Use ( )

pure virtual

All processes will get a call to Use, even the one that got the Create callback.

Use this callback to open the shared resource for use.
