Detailed Description

an atomic readers-writer or shared-exclusive lock suitable for maps/tables Also supports reading-while-appending mode when readers and writer are allowed to access the same locked object because the writer promisses to only append new data and all size-related object properties are atomic.

Member Function Documentation

finalizeExclusive()

bool Ipc::ReadWriteLock::finalizeExclusive ( )

private

common lockExclusive() and unlockSharedAndSwitchToExclusive() logic: either finish exclusive locking or bail properly

Precondition

The caller must (be the first to) increment writeLevel.

Returns

whether we got the exclusive lock
