+ @page cds_sync_monitor Synchronization monitor
+ A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28synchronization%29">monitor</a> is synchronization construction
+ that allows threads to have both mutual exclusion and the ability to wait (block) for a certain condition to become true.
+ Some blocking data structure algoritms like the trees require per-node locking.
+ For huge trees containing millions of nodes it can be very inefficient to inject
+ the lock object into each node. Moreover, some operating systems may not support
+ the millions of system objects like mutexes per user process.
+ The monitor strategy is intended to solve that problem.
+ When the node should be locked, the monitor is called to allocate appropriate
+ lock object for the node if needed, and to lock the node.
+ The monitor strategy can significantly reduce the number of system objects
+ required for data structure.
+
+ <b>Implemetations</b>
+
+ \p libcds contains several monitor implementations:
+ - \p sync::injecting_monitor injects the lock object into each node.
+ That mock monitor is designed for user-space locking primitive like
+ \ref sync::spin_lock "spin-lock".
+ - \p sync::pool_monitor is the monitor that allocates a lock object
+ for a node from the pool when needed. When the node is unlocked
+ the lock assigned to it is given back to the pool if no thread
+ references to that node.
+
+ <b>How to use</b>
+
+ If you use a container from \p libcds that requires a monitor, you should just
+ specify required monitor type in container's traits. Usually, the monitor
+ is specified by \p traits::sync_monitor typedef, or by \p cds::opt::sync_monitor
+ option for container's \p make_traits metafunction.
+
+ If you're developing a new container algorithm, you should know internal monitor
+ interface:
+ \code
+ class Monitor {
+ public:
+ // Monitor's injection into the Node class
+ template <typename Node>
+ struct node_injection: public Node
+ {
+ // Monitor data injecting into container's node
+ // ...
+ };
+ // Locks the node
+ template <typename Node>
+ void lock( Node& node );
+ // Unlocks the node
+ template <typename Node>
+ void unlock( Node& node );
+ // Scoped lock applyes RAII to Monitor
+ template <typename Node>
+ using scoped_lock = monitor_scoped_lock< pool_monitor, Node >;
+ };
+ \endcode
+ Monitor's data must be injected into container's node as \p m_SyncMonitorInjection data member:
+ \code
+ template <typename SyncMonitor>
+ struct my_node
+ {
+ // ...
+ typename SyncMonitor::node_injection m_SyncMonitorInjection;
+ };
+ \endcode
+ The monitor must be a member of your container:
+ \code
+ template <typename GC, typename T, typename Traits>
+ class my_container {
+ // ...
+ typedef typename Traits::sync_monitor sync_monitor;
+ typedef my_node<sync_monitor> node_type;
+ sync_monitor m_Monitor;
+ //...
+ };
+ \endcode
+ */
+ /// Monitor scoped lock (RAII)
+ /**
+ Template arguments:
+ - \p Monitor - monitor type
+ - \p Node - node type
+ */
+ template <typename Monitor, typename Node>
+ struct monitor_scoped_lock
+ {
+ public:
+ typedef Monitor monitor_type; ///< Monitor type
+ typedef Node node_type; ///< Node type
+ private:
+ //@cond
+ monitor_type& m_Monitor; ///< Monitor
+ node_type const& m_Node; ///< Our locked node
+ //@endcond
+ public:
+ /// Makes exclusive access to the node \p p by \p monitor
+ monitor_scoped_lock( monitor_type& monitor, node_type const& p )
+ : m_Monitor( monitor )
+ , m_Node( p )
+ {
+ monitor.lock( p );
+ }
+ /// Unlocks the node
+ ~monitor_scoped_lock()
+ {
+ m_Monitor.unlock( m_Node );
+ }
+ };
+}} // namespace cds::sync
+#endif // #ifndef CDSLIB_SYNC_MONITOR_H
