|
|
/// Mutex stands for "MUTual EXclusion". A mutex is a
|
|
/// synchronization object, used when multiple threads are involved.
|
|
///
|
|
/// When you want to protect a part of the code from being accessed
|
|
/// simultaneously by multiple threads, you typically use a
|
|
/// mutex. When a thread is locked by a mutex, any other thread
|
|
/// trying to lock it will be blocked until the mutex is released
|
|
/// by the thread that locked it. This way, you can allow only
|
|
/// one thread at a time to access a critical region of your code.
|
|
///
|
|
/// Usage example:
|
|
/// \code
|
|
/// Database database; // this is a critical resource that needs some protection
|
|
/// sf::Mutex mutex;
|
|
///
|
|
/// void thread1()
|
|
/// {
|
|
/// mutex.lock(); // this call will block the thread if the mutex is already locked by thread2
|
|
/// database.write(...);
|
|
/// mutex.unlock(); // if thread2 was waiting, it will now be unblocked
|
|
/// }
|
|
///
|
|
/// void thread2()
|
|
/// {
|
|
/// mutex.lock(); // this call will block the thread if the mutex is already locked by thread1
|
|
/// database.write(...);
|
|
/// mutex.unlock(); // if thread1 was waiting, it will now be unblocked
|
|
/// }
|
|
/// \endcode
|
|
///
|
|
/// Be very careful with mutexes. A bad usage can lead to bad problems,
|
|
/// like deadlocks (two threads are waiting for each other and the
|
|
/// application is globally stuck).
|
|
///
|
|
/// To make the usage of mutexes more robust, particularly in
|
|
/// environments where exceptions can be thrown, you should
|
|
/// use the helper class sf::Lock to lock/unlock mutexes.
|
|
///
|
|
/// SFML mutexes are recursive, which means that you can lock
|
|
/// a mutex multiple times in the same thread without creating
|
|
/// a deadlock. In this case, the first call to lock() behaves
|
|
/// as usual, and the following ones have no effect.
|
|
/// However, you must call unlock() exactly as many times as you
|
|
/// called lock(). If you don't, the mutex won't be released.
|
|
