Purpose

Provide a win32 implementation of bslmt::TimedSemaphore.

Classes

• bslmt::TimedSemaphoreImpl<Win32TimedSemaphore>: win32 specialization

bslmt_timedsemaphore

Description

This component provides an implementation of bslmt::TimedSemaphore for Windows (win32), bslmt::TimedSemaphoreImpl<Win32TimedSemaphore>, via the template specialization:

bslmt::TimedSemaphoreImpl<Platform::Win32Threads>

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

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.
