Member Function Documentation

void MultiReaderMutex_t::LockRead

(

)

Locks the mutex for shared read. Once acquired, the caller is guaranteed safe read-only access, with all would-be writers being blocked. Note that if the protected resource contains mutable data, simultaneous read access resulting in modification of that data is almost guaranteed to cause a crash.

void MultiReaderMutex_t::UnlockRead

(

)

Unlocks the mutex after shared read.

void MultiReaderMutex_t::LockWrite

(

)

Locks the mutex for exclusive write. Once acquired, the caller is guaranteed exclusive access with neither readers nor writers holding the mutex. After calling LockWrite, all would-be readers or writers will be blocked until the caller has acquired and released the requested write access.

void MultiReaderMutex_t::UnlockWrite

(

)

Unlocks the mutex after exclusive write.
