#pragma once // Baselib_CappedSemaphore // In computer science, a semaphore is a variable or abstract data type used to control access to a common resource by multiple processes in a concurrent // system such as a multitasking operating system. A semaphore is simply a variable. This variable is used to solve critical section problems and to achieve // process synchronization in the multi processing environment. A trivial semaphore is a plain variable that is changed (for example, incremented or // decremented, or toggled) depending on programmer-defined conditions. // // A useful way to think of a semaphore as used in the real-world system is as a record of how many units of a particular resource are available, coupled with // operations to adjust that record safely (i.e. to avoid race conditions) as units are required or become free, and, if necessary, wait until a unit of the // resource becomes available. // // "Semaphore (programming)", Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia // https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Semaphore_(programming)&oldid=872408126 #if PLATFORM_FUTEX_NATIVE_SUPPORT #include "Internal/Baselib_CappedSemaphore_FutexBased.inl.h" #else #include "Internal/Baselib_CappedSemaphore_SemaphoreBased.inl.h" #endif // Creates a capped counting semaphore synchronization primitive. // // Cap is the number of tokens that can be held by the semaphore when there is no contention. // If there are not enough system resources to create a semaphore, process abort is triggered. // // For optimal performance, the returned Baselib_CappedSemaphore should be stored at a cache aligned memory location. // // \returns A struct representing a semaphore instance.
