Synopsis

This class keeps the LockFile object used to do the actual locking/unlocking. It also keeps the synchronization information.

Motivation

Encapsulate Table locking data.

Member Function Documentation

acquire()

Bool casacore::ExternalLockSync::acquire	(	FileLocker::LockType	= FileLocker::Write,
		uInt	nattempts = 0
	)

Acquire a read or write lock (when needed).

Nattempts==0 indicates that it has to wait until the lock is acquired. Nattempts>0 indicates that it gives up acquiring the lock when nattempts have been done (with 1 second intervals). It throws an exception when acquire failed while it had to wait. It returns a false status when acquiring the lock failed while it does not have to wait.
When a lock is successfully acquired, the number of rows (see function nrrow() below) is reset as a result of synchronizing the access to the table.

doReleaseCallBack()

MemoryIO * casacore::ExternalLockSync::doReleaseCallBack ( Bool  always )

inlineprivate

The member function executing the callback functionality.

hasLock()

Bool casacore::ExternalLockSync::hasLock ( FileLocker::LockType  type ) const

inline

Check if the table has a read or write lock, thus if the table can be read or written safely.

Definition at line 125 of file ExternalLockSync.h.

References casacore::TableLockData::hasLock(), and itsLock.

makeLock()

void casacore::ExternalLockSync::makeLock	(	const String &	tableName,
		Bool	create,
		FileLocker::LockType
	)

Create the LockFile object and acquire a read or write lock when permanent locking is in effect.

It throws an exception when acquiring the lock failed.

nrow()

rownr_t casacore::ExternalLockSync::nrow ( ) const

inline

Get the current number of rows in this object.

Definition at line 139 of file ExternalLockSync.h.

References itsNrrow.

operator=()

ExternalLockSync& casacore::ExternalLockSync::operator= ( const ExternalLockSync &  that )

private

Assignment is forbidden.

release()

void casacore::ExternalLockSync::release ( rownr_t  nrrow )

inline

Release the lock and synchronize the table access.

When autolocking is in effect, the lock is only released when the inspection-interval (see class TableLockData) has expired. It does nothing when permanent locking is used. It throws an exception when the release failed.

Definition at line 129 of file ExternalLockSync.h.

References itsLock, itsNrrow, and casacore::TableLockData::release().

releaseCallBack()

static MemoryIO* casacore::ExternalLockSync::releaseCallBack ( void *  lockSyncObject, Bool  always  )

staticprivate

The callback function when releasing a lock.
