A synchronization primitive for multithreaded applications. Multiple Get() method calls from one process will not lead to deadlock, in other words the Spin_Mutex is reentrant. Thread will not suspend waiting for resource but will "spin". More...

Public Member Functions | |
| void | Get (unsigned int PNumber=GetCurrentThreadId()) |
| Gets the Spin_Mutex. If it is not free then waits (blocking) and either gets the mutex or waits forever. | |
| bool | TryGet (unsigned int PNumber=GetCurrentThreadId()) |
| Tries getting the lock, returns "false" when mutex is already locked and "true" otherwise. | |
| void | Release (unsigned int PNumber=GetCurrentThreadId()) |
| Releases the Spin_Mutex allowing other threads to access the protected resource. | |
Detailed Description
A synchronization primitive for multithreaded applications. Multiple Get() method calls from one process will not lead to deadlock, in other words the Spin_Mutex is reentrant. Thread will not suspend waiting for resource but will "spin".
