128 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
129 | |
ad91d581 |
130 | This modules allows you to share() variables. These variables will |
131 | then be shared across different threads (and pseudoforks on |
132 | win32). They are used together with the threads module. |

138 | =head1 FUNCTIONS |
139 | |
140 | =over 4 |
141 | |
142 | =item share VARIABLE |
143 | |
d1be9408 |
144 | C<share> takes a value and marks it as shared, you can share a scalar, array, hash |
515f0976 |
145 | scalar ref, array ref and hash ref, C<share> will return the shared value. |
146 | |
147 | C<share> will traverse up references exactly I<one> level. |
148 | C<share(\$a)> is equivalent to C<share($a)>, while C<share(\\$a)> is not. |
149 | |
150 | =item lock VARIABLE |
151 | |
152 | C<lock> places a lock on a variable until the lock goes out of scope. If |
153 | the variable is locked by another thread, the C<lock> call will block until |
154 | it's available. C<lock> is recursive, so multiple calls to C<lock> are |
155 | safe--the variable will remain locked until the outermost lock on the |
156 | variable goes out of scope or C<unlock> is called enough times to match |
157 | the number of calls to <lock>. |
158 | |
159 | If a container object, such as a hash or array, is locked, all the elements |
160 | of that container are not locked. For example, if a thread does a C<lock |
161 | @a>, any other thread doing a C<lock($a[12])> won't block. |
162 | |
163 | C<lock> will traverse up references exactly I<one> level. |
164 | C<lock(\$a)> is equivalent to C<lock($a)>, while C<lock(\\$a)> is not. |
165 | |
166 | |
167 | =item unlock VARIABLE |
168 | |
169 | C<unlock> takes a locked shared value and decrements the lock count. |
170 | If the lock count is zero the variable is unlocked. It is not necessary |
171 | to call C<unlock> but it can be usefull to reduce lock contention. |
172 | |
173 | C<unlock> will traverse up references exactly I<one> level. |
174 | C<unlock(\$a)> is equivalent to C<unlock($a)>, while C<unlock(\\$a)> is not. |
175 | |
176 | =item cond_wait VARIABLE |
177 | |
178 | The C<cond_wait> function takes a B<locked> variable as a parameter, |
179 | unlocks the variable, and blocks until another thread does a C<cond_signal> |
180 | or C<cond_broadcast> for that same locked variable. The variable that |
181 | C<cond_wait> blocked on is relocked after the C<cond_wait> is satisfied. |
182 | If there are multiple threads C<cond_wait>ing on the same variable, all but |
183 | one will reblock waiting to reaquire the lock on the variable. (So if |
184 | you're only using C<cond_wait> for synchronization, give up the lock as |
185 | soon as possible) |
186 | |
187 | It is important to note that the variable can be notified even if no |
188 | thread C<cond_signal> or C<cond_broadcast> on the variable. It is therefore |
189 | important to check the value of the variable and go back to waiting if the |
190 | requirment is not fullfilled. |
191 | |
192 | =item cond_signal VARIABLE |
193 | |
194 | The C<cond_signal> function takes a B<locked> variable as a parameter and |
195 | unblocks one thread that's C<cond_wait>ing on that variable. If more than |
196 | one thread is blocked in a C<cond_wait> on that variable, only one (and |
197 | which one is indeterminate) will be unblocked. |
198 | |
199 | If there are no threads blocked in a C<cond_wait> on the variable, the |
200 | signal is discarded. |
201 | |
202 | =item cond_broadcast VARIABLE |
203 | |
204 | The C<cond_broadcast> function works similarly to C<cond_signal>. |
205 | C<cond_broadcast>, though, will unblock B<all> the threads that are blocked |
206 | in a C<cond_wait> on the locked variable, rather than only one. |

208 | =head1 BUGS |
209 | |
515f0976 |
210 | C<bless> is not supported on shared references, in the current version |
211 | C<bless> will only bless the thread local reference and the blessing |
212 | will not propagate to the other threads, this is expected to be implmented |
213 | in the future. |
214 | |
b050c948 |
215 | Does not support splice on arrays! |
