Purpose

Provide a POSIX implementation of bslmt::Condition.

Classes

• bslmt::ConditionImpl<PosixThreads>: POSIX specialization

See also

bslmt_condition

Description

This component provides an implementation of bslmt::Condition for POSIX threads ("pthreads"), bslmt::ConditionImpl<PosixThreads>, via the template specialization:

bslmt::ConditionImpl<Platform::PosixThreads>

This template class should not be used (directly) by client code. Clients should instead use bslmt::Condition.

Supported Clock-Types

bsls::SystemClockType supplies the enumeration indicating the system clock on which timeouts supplied to other methods should be based. If the clock type indicated at construction is bsls::SystemClockType::e_REALTIME, the absTime argument passed to the timedWait method should be expressed as an absolute offset since 00:00:00 UTC, January 1, 1970 (which matches the epoch used in bsls::SystemTime::now(bsls::SystemClockType::e_REALTIME). If the clock type indicated at construction is bsls::SystemClockType::e_MONOTONIC, the absTime argument passed to the timedWait method should be expressed as an absolute offset since the epoch of this clock (which matches the epoch used in bsls::SystemTime::now(bsls::SystemClockType::e_MONOTONIC).

Usage

This component is an implementation detail of bslmt and is not intended for direct client use. It is subject to change without notice. As such, a usage example is not provided.
