Overview

Mutex implements a simple semaphore that can be used to coordinate access to shared data from multiple concurrent threads.

Example:

semaphore = Thread::Mutex.new

a = Thread.new {
  semaphore.synchronize {
    # access shared resource
  }
}

b = Thread.new {
  semaphore.synchronize {
    # access shared resource
  }
}

Instance Attribute Details



  

    #locked?  ⇒ Boolean  (readonly)  



  

    

Returns true if this lock is currently held by some thread.

}


  








  

    #owned?  ⇒ Boolean  (readonly)  



  

    

Returns true if this lock is currently held by current thread.

Instance Method Details



  

    #lock  ⇒ self   



  

    

Attempts to grab the lock and waits if it isn’t available. Raises ::ThreadError if mutex was locked by the current thread.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'thread_sync.c', line 473



VALUE
rb_mutex_lock(VALUE self)
{
    return do_mutex_lock(self, 1);
}


  








  

    #sleep(timeout = nil)  ⇒ Numeric?   



  

    

Releases the lock and sleeps timeout seconds if it is given and non-nil or forever.  Raises ::ThreadError if mutex wasn’t locked by the current thread.



When the thread is next woken up, it will attempt to reacquire the lock.



Note that this method can wakeup without explicit Thread#wakeup call. For example, receiving signal and so on.



Returns the slept time in seconds if woken up, or nil if timed out.

static VALUE
mutex_sleep(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    VALUE timeout;

    timeout = rb_check_arity(argc, 0, 1) ? argv[0] : Qnil;
    return rb_mutex_sleep(self, timeout);
}


  








  

    #synchronize  ⇒ result of the block   



  

    

Obtains a lock, runs the block, and releases the lock when the block completes.  See the example under Mutex.

# File 'thread_sync.c', line 695



static VALUE
rb_mutex_synchronize_m(VALUE self)

    if (!rb_block_given_p()) {
        rb_raise(rb_eThreadError, "must be called with a block");
    }

    return rb_mutex_synchronize(self, rb_yield, Qundef);
}


  








  

    #try_lock  ⇒ Boolean   



  

    

Attempts to obtain the lock and returns immediately. Returns true if the lock was granted.


  



  [ GitHub ]


  

  


# File 'thread_sync.c', line 291



VALUE
rb_mutex_trylock(VALUE self)
{
    rb_mutex_t *mutex = mutex_ptr(self);

    if (mutex->fiber == 0) {
        RUBY_DEBUG_LOG("%p ok", mutex);

        rb_fiber_t *fiber = GET_EC()->fiber_ptr;
        rb_thread_t *th = GET_THREAD();

        mutex_locked(th, fiber, self);

    }
    else {
        RUBY_DEBUG_LOG("%p ng", mutex);
        return Qfalse;
    }
}


  








  

    #unlock  ⇒ self   



  

    

Releases the lock. Raises ::ThreadError if mutex wasn’t locked by the current thread.

# File 'thread_sync.c', line 546



VALUE
rb_mutex_unlock(VALUE self)
