Overview

This module adds support for inclusive/exclusive object locking.

Lockable should be used for synchronization of osctld state. The locks should be held only for a short time to read/modify the state. Use Manipulable for long operations that require locking. Ideally, the included methods should be treated as protected, i.e. should not be used from the outside.

If the thread waits for Lock::TIMEOUT seconds to acquire the lock, an exception is raised.

Multiple threads can hold inclusive locks at the same time, but only one thread can hold an exclusive one. When a thread has acquired an exclusive lock, no other thread can get inclusive, nor exclusive lock.

Before the locks can be used, ‘init_lock()` has to be called. Locks can then be acquired using `lock()` and released using `unlock()`. You can also use `inclusively()` and `exclusively()` to execute a block within the lock.

Lockable provides helpers for synchronized alternatives to ‘attr_reader`, `attr_writer` and `attr_accessor`:

attr_inclusive_reader :attr1, :attr2, ...
attr_exclusive_writer :attr1, :attr2, ...
attr_synchronized_accessor :attr1, :attr2, ...
