/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * condition_variable.h * Condition variables * * A condition variable is a method of waiting until a certain condition * becomes true.

In our implementation, * condition variables put a process into an interruptible sleep (so it * can be cancelled prior to the fulfillment of the condition) and do not * use pointers internally (so that they are safe to use within DSMs). * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2017, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * src/include/storage/condition_variable.h * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #ifndef CONDITION_VARIABLE_H #define CONDITION_VARIABLE_H #include "storage/s_lock.h" #include "storage/proclist_types.h" typedef struct { slock_t mutex; proclist_head wakeup; } ConditionVariable; /* Initialize a condition variable. */ extern void ConditionVariableInit(ConditionVariable *); /* * To sleep on a condition variable, a process should use a loop which first * checks the condition, exiting the loop if it is met, and then calls * ConditionVariableSleep.
