Macro Definition Documentation

#define LE_MUTEX_DECLARE_REF

(

refName

)

Value:

static le_mutex_Ref_t refName; \
    static inline void Lock(void) { le_mutex_Lock(refName); } \
    static inline void Unlock(void) { le_mutex_Unlock(refName); }

Declare a static mutex reference variable and accessor functions.

This is handy when you need a single, file-scope mutex for use inside your module to protect other file-scope data structures from multi-threaded race conditions.

Adding the line

LE_MUTEX_DECLARE_REF(MyMutexRef);

near the top of your file will create a file-scope variable called "MyMutexRef" of type le_mutex_Ref_t and functions called "Lock" and "Unlock" that access that variable.

See Tip for more information.

Parameters

refName

Name of the mutex reference variable.

Returns

Nothing.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct le_mutex* le_mutex_Ref_t

Reference to a Mutex object.

Function Documentation

le_mutex_Ref_t le_mutex_CreateNonRecursive

(

const char *

nameStr

)

Create a Normal, Non-Recursive mutex.

Returns

Returns a reference to the mutex.

Note

Terminates the process on failure, no need to check the return value for errors.

Parameters

[in]

nameStr

Name of the mutex

le_mutex_Ref_t le_mutex_CreateRecursive

(

const char *

nameStr

)

Create a Normal, Recursive mutex.

Returns

Returns a reference to the mutex.

Note

Terminates the process on failure, no need to check the return value for errors.

Parameters

[in]

nameStr

Name of the mutex

le_mutex_Ref_t le_mutex_CreateTraceableNonRecursive

(

const char *

nameStr

)

Create a Traceable, Non-Recursive mutex.

Returns

Returns a reference to the mutex.

Note

Terminates the process on failure, no need to check the return value for errors.

Parameters

[in]

nameStr

Name of the mutex

le_mutex_Ref_t le_mutex_CreateTraceableRecursive

(

const char *

nameStr

)

Create a Traceable, Recursive mutex.

Returns

Returns a reference to the mutex.

Note

Terminates the process on failure, no need to check the return value for errors.

Parameters

[in]

nameStr

Name of the mutex

void le_mutex_Delete

(

le_mutex_Ref_t

mutexRef

)

Delete a mutex.

Returns

Nothing.

Parameters

[in]

mutexRef

Mutex reference

void le_mutex_Lock

(

le_mutex_Ref_t

mutexRef

)

Lock a mutex.

Returns

Nothing.

Parameters

[in]

mutexRef

Mutex reference

le_result_t le_mutex_TryLock

(

le_mutex_Ref_t

mutexRef

)

Try a lock on a mutex.

Locks a mutex, if no other thread holds it. Otherwise, returns without locking.

Returns

• LE_OK if mutex was locked.
• LE_WOULD_BLOCK if mutex was already held by someone else.

Parameters

[in]

mutexRef

Mutex reference

void le_mutex_Unlock

(

le_mutex_Ref_t

mutexRef

)

Unlock a mutex.

Returns

Nothing.

Parameters

[in]

mutexRef

Mutex reference
