Detailed Description

POSIX Threads version of Lock.

This is the lock you use when you're not using a lock (a Clayton's lock :-). This allows platforms that don't support user-mode multi-threading to work.

Which version of the Lock is used is decided by the settings in stdnet/config.h.

Member Function Documentation

bool stdbase::system::platform::Lock::timedWaitSignal ( int millisec )

Forces calling thread to wait for the given period in milliseconds or until another thread signals an event or readyness.
Same as waitSignal() but not indefinite.
Parameters:

millisec time to wait in milliseconds.

Returns:
true if signalled. false if period expired.

Definition at line 93 of file NativeLock.cpp.

void stdbase::system::platform::Lock::waitSignal ( )

Forces calling thread to wait indefinitely until another thread signals that some event has ocurred.
This is _very_ different to POSIX signals and signal handling.
