A TReentrantLock
is a reentrant read/write lock. Multiple readers may all
concurrently acquire read locks. Only one writer is allowed to acquire a
write lock at any given time. Read locks may be upgraded into write locks. A
fiber that has a write lock may acquire other write locks or read locks.
The two primary methods of this structure are readLock
, which acquires a
read lock in a managed context, and writeLock
, which acquires a write lock
in a managed context.
Although located in the STM package, there is no need for locks within STM transactions. However, this lock can be quite useful in effectful code, to provide consistent read/write access to mutable state; and being in STM allows this structure to be composed into more complicated concurrent structures that are consumed from effectful code.
