Sync

Useful synchronization primitives.

Higher-level synchronization objects

The following is an overview of the available synchronization objects:

  • Barrier: Ensures multiple threads will wait for each other to reach a point in the program, before continuing execution all together.
  • Once: Used for thread-safe, one-time initialization of a global variable.
  • RwLock: Provides a mutual exclusion mechanism which allows multiple readers at the same time, while allowing only one writer at a time. In some cases, this can be more efficient than a mutex.
  • Semaphore: Counting semaphore performing asynchronous permit aquisition.
