=head1 NAME Coro::SemaphoreSet - hash of semaphores. =head1 SYNOPSIS use Coro::SemaphoreSet; $sig = new Coro::SemaphoreSet [initial value]; $sig->down("semaphoreid"); # wait for signal # ... some other "thread" $sig->up("semaphoreid"); =head1 DESCRIPTION This module implements sets of counting semaphores (see L). It is nothing more than a hash with normal semaphores as members, but is more efficiently managed. This is useful if you want to allow parallel tasks to run in parallel but not on the same problem. Just use a SemaphoreSet and lock on the problem identifier. =over 4 =cut package Coro::SemaphoreSet; BEGIN { eval { require warnings } && warnings->unimport ("uninitialized") } use Coro (); $VERSION = 1.6; =item new [inital count] Creates a new semaphore set with the given initial lock count for each individual semaphore. See L. =cut sub new { bless [defined $_[1] ? $_[1] : 1], $_[0]; } =item $sem->down ($id) Decrement the counter, therefore "locking" the named semaphore. This method waits until the semaphore is available if the counter is zero. =item $status = $sem->timed_down ($id, $timeout) Like C, but returns false if semaphore couldn't be acquired within $timeout seconds, otherwise true. =cut sub down { while () { my $sem = ($_[0][1]{$_[1]} ||= [$_[0][0]]); if ($sem->[0] > 0) { --$sem->[0]; return 1; } push @{$sem->[1]}, $Coro::current; Coro::schedule; } } sub timed_down { require Coro::Timer; my $timeout = Coro::Timer::timeout ($_[2]); while () { my $sem = ($_[0][1]{$_[1]} ||= [$_[0][0]]); if ($sem->[0] > 0) { --$sem->[0]; return 1; } if ($timeout) { # ugly as hell. for (0..$#{$sem->[1]}) { if ($sem->[1][$_] == $Coro::current) { splice @{$sem->[1]}, $_, 1; return 0; } } die; } push @{$sem->[1]}, $Coro::current; Coro::schedule; } } =item $sem->up ($id) Unlock the semaphore again. =cut sub up { my $sem = $_[0][1]{$_[1]}; if (++$sem->[0] > 0) { (shift @{$sem->[1]})->ready if @{$sem->[1]}; } delete $_[0][1]{$_[1]} if $sem->[0] == $_[0][0] && !@{$sem->[1] || []}; } =item $sem->try Try to C the semaphore. Returns true when this was possible, otherwise return false and leave the semaphore unchanged. =cut sub try { my $sem = ($_[0][1]{$_[1]} ||= [$_[0][0]]); if ($sem->[0] > 0) { --$sem->[0]; return 1; } else { return 0; } } =item $sem->waiters ($id) In scalar context, returns the number of coroutines waiting for this semaphore. =cut sub waiters { my $sem = $_[0][1]{$_[1]} or return; @{ $_[0][1]{$_[1]}[1] || []} } =item $guard = $sem->guard ($id) This method calls C and then creates a guard object. When the guard object is destroyed it automatically calls C. =item $guard = $sem->timed_guard ($id, $timeout) Like C, but returns undef if semaphore couldn't be acquired within $timeout seconds, otherwise the guard object. =cut sub guard { &down; bless [@_], Coro::SemaphoreSet::guard::; } sub timed_guard { &timed_down ? bless [$_[0], $_[1]], Coro::SemaphoreSet::guard:: : (); } sub Coro::SemaphoreSet::guard::DESTROY { &up(@{$_[0]}); } 1; =back =head1 AUTHOR Marc Lehmann http://home.schmorp.de/ =cut
