/**
@page cds_sync_monitor Synchronization monitor
A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28synchronization%29">monitor</a> is synchronization construction
that allows threads to have both mutual exclusion and the ability to wait (block) for a certain condition to become true.
Some blocking data structure algoritms like the trees require per-node locking.
For huge trees containing millions of nodes it can be very inefficient to inject
the lock object into each node. Moreover, some operating systems may not support
the millions of system objects like mutexes per user process.
The monitor strategy is intended to solve that problem.
When the node should be locked, the monitor is called to allocate appropriate
lock object for the node if needed, and to lock the node.
The monitor strategy can significantly reduce the number of system objects
required for data structure.
<b>Implemetations</b>
\p libcds contains several monitor implementations:
- \p sync::injecting_monitor injects the lock object into each node.
That mock monitor is designed for user-space locking primitive like
\ref sync::spin_lock "spin-lock".
- \p sync::pool_monitor is the monitor that allocates a lock object
for a node from the pool when needed. When the node is unlocked
the lock assigned to it is given back to the pool if no thread
references to that node.
<b>How to use</b>
If you use a container from \p libcds that requires a monitor, you should just
specify required monitor type in container's traits. Usually, the monitor
is specified by \p traits::sync_monitor typedef, or by \p cds::opt::sync_monitor
option for container's \p make_traits metafunction.
If you're developing a new container algorithm, you should know internal monitor
interface:
\code
class Monitor {
public:
// Monitor's injection into the Node class
template <typename Node>
struct node_injection: public Node
{
// Monitor data injecting into container's node
// ...
};
// Locks the node
template <typename Node>
void lock( Node& node );
// Unlocks the node
template <typename Node>
void unlock( Node& node );
// Scoped lock applyes RAII to Monitor
template <typename Node>
using scoped_lock = monitor_scoped_lock< pool_monitor, Node >;
};
\endcode
Monitor's data must be injected into container's node as \p m_SyncMonitorInjection data member:
\code
template <typename SyncMonitor>
struct my_node
{
// ...
typename SyncMonitor::node_injection m_SyncMonitorInjection;
};
\endcode
The monitor must be a member of your container:
\code
template <typename GC, typename T, typename Traits>
class my_container {
// ...
typedef typename Traits::sync_monitor sync_monitor;
typedef my_node<sync_monitor> node_type;
sync_monitor m_Monitor;
//...
};
\endcode
*/
/// Monitor scoped lock (RAII)
/**
Template arguments:
- \p Monitor - monitor type
- \p Node - node type
*/
template <typename Monitor, typename Node>
struct monitor_scoped_lock
{
public:
typedef Monitor monitor_type; ///< Monitor type
typedef Node node_type; ///< Node type
private:
//@cond
monitor_type& m_Monitor; ///< Monitor
node_type const& m_Node; ///< Our locked node
//@endcond
public:
/// Makes exclusive access to the node \p p by \p monitor
monitor_scoped_lock( monitor_type& monitor, node_type const& p )
: m_Monitor( monitor )
, m_Node( p )
{
monitor.lock( p );
}
/// Unlocks the node
~monitor_scoped_lock()
{
m_Monitor.unlock( m_Node );
}
};
}} // namespace cds::sync
