5 =head1 SYNOPSIS
6
7 use Coro::Semaphore;
8
9 $sig = new Coro::Semaphore [initial value];
10
11 $sig->down; # wait for signal
12
13 # ... some other "thread"
14
15 $sig->up;

17 =head1 DESCRIPTION
18
19 This module implements counting semaphores. You can initialize a mutex
20 with any level of parallel users, that is, you can intialize a sempahore
21 that can be C<down>ed more than once until it blocks. There is no owner
22 associated with semaphores, so one coroutine can C<down> it while another
23 can C<up> it.
24
25 Counting semaphores are typically used to coordinate access to
26 resources, with the semaphore count initialized to the number of free
27 resources. Coroutines then increment the count when resources are added
28 and decrement the count when resources are removed.

41
42 =item new [inital count]
43
44 Creates a new sempahore object with the given initial lock count. The
45 default lock count is 1, which means it is unlocked by default. Zero (or
46 negative values) are also allowed, in which case the semaphore is locked
47 by default.

51 sub new {
52 bless [defined $_[1] ? $_[1] : 1], $_[0];
53 }
54
55 =item $sem->count
56
57 Returns the current semaphore count.

60
61 sub count {
62 $_[0][0]
63 }
64
65 =item $sem->adjust ($diff)
66
67 Atomically adds the amount given to the current semaphore count. If the
68 count becomes positive, wakes up any waiters. Does not block if the count
69 becomes negative, however.

71 =cut
72
73 sub adjust {
74 # basically a weird copy of up
75 if (($_[0][0] += $_[1]) > 0) {
76 (shift @{$_[0][1]})->ready if @{$_[0][1]};
77 }
78 }
79
80 =item $sem->down
81
82 Decrement the counter, therefore "locking" the semaphore. This method
83 waits until the semaphore is available if the counter is zero.
84
85 =item $status = $sem->timed_down ($timeout)
86
87 Like C<down>, but returns false if semaphore couldn't be acquired within
88 $timeout seconds, otherwise true.

92 sub down {
93 while ($_[0][0] <= 0) {

102 my $timeout = Coro::Timer::timeout ($_[1]);
103
104 while ($_[0][0] <= 0) {
105 push @{$_[0][1]}, $Coro::current;
106 &Coro::schedule;
107 if ($timeout) {
108 # ugly as hell. slow, too, btw!
109 for (0..$#{$_[0][1]}) {
110 if ($_[0][1][$_] == $Coro::current) {
111 splice @{$_[0][1]}, $_, 1;

119 --$_[0][0];
120 return 1;
121 }
122
123 =item $sem->up
124
125 Unlock the semaphore again.

130 if (++$_[0][0] > 0) {
131 (shift @{$_[0][1]})->ready if @{$_[0][1]};
132 }
133 }
134
135 =item $sem->try
136
137 Try to C<down> the semaphore. Returns true when this was possible,
138 otherwise return false and leave the semaphore unchanged.

142 sub try {
143 if ($_[0][0] > 0) {

147 return 0;
148 }
149 }
150
151 =item $sem->waiters
152
153 In scalar context, returns the number of coroutines waiting for this
154 semaphore.

157
158 sub waiters {
159 @{$_[0][1]};
160 }
161
162 =item $guard = $sem->guard
163
164 This method calls C<down> and then creates a guard object. When the guard
165 object is destroyed it automatically calls C<up>.
166
167 =item $guard = $sem->timed_guard ($timeout)
168
169 Like C<guard>, but returns undef if semaphore couldn't be acquired within
170 $timeout seconds, otherwise the guard object.
171
172 =cut
173
174 sub guard {
175 &down;
176 # double indirection because bless works on the referenced
177 # object, not (only) on the reference itself.
178 bless \\$_[0], Coro::Semaphore::guard::;
179 }

181 sub timed_guard {
182 &timed_down
183 ? bless \\$_[0], Coro::Semaphore::guard::
184 : ();

187 sub Coro::Semaphore::guard::DESTROY {
188 &up(${${$_[0]}});
