Detailed Description

A lock you can use to lock the message manager. You can use this class with the RAII-based ScopedLock classes.

Member Typedef Documentation

ScopedLockType

using juce::MessageManager::Lock::ScopedLockType = GenericScopedLock<Lock>

Provides the type of scoped lock to use with a CriticalSection.

ScopedTryLockType

using juce::MessageManager::Lock::ScopedTryLockType = GenericScopedTryLock<Lock>

Provides the type of scoped try-locker to use with a CriticalSection.

ScopedUnlockType

using juce::MessageManager::Lock::ScopedUnlockType = GenericScopedUnlock<Lock>

Provides the type of scoped unlocker to use with a CriticalSection.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Lock()

juce::MessageManager::Lock::Lock

(

)

Creates a new critical section to exclusively access methods which can only be called when the message manager is locked.

Unlike CriticalSection, multiple instances of this lock class provide exclusive access to a single resource - the MessageManager.

~Lock()

juce::MessageManager::Lock::~Lock

(

)

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

abort()

void juce::MessageManager::Lock::abort ( ) const

noexcept

Unblocks a thread which is waiting in tryEnter Call this method if you want to unblock a thread which is waiting for the MessageManager lock in tryEnter. This method does not have any effect on a thread waiting for a lock in enter.

See also

tryEnter

enter()

void juce::MessageManager::Lock::enter ( ) const

noexcept

Acquires the message manager lock.

If the caller thread already has exclusive access to the MessageManager, this method will return immediately. If another thread is currently using the MessageManager, this will wait until that thread releases the lock to the MessageManager.

This call will only exit if the lock was acquired by this thread. Calling abort while a thread is waiting for enter to finish, will have no effect.

exit, abort

exit()

void juce::MessageManager::Lock::exit ( ) const

noexcept

Releases the message manager lock.

enter, ScopedLock

messageCallback()

void juce::MessageManager::Lock::messageCallback ( ) const

private

tryAcquire()

bool juce::MessageManager::Lock::tryAcquire ( bool lockIsMandatory ) const

privatenoexcept

tryEnter()

bool juce::MessageManager::Lock::tryEnter ( ) const

noexcept

Attempts to lock the message manager and exits if abort is called.

This method behaves identically to enter, except that it will abort waiting for the lock if the abort method is called.

Unlike other JUCE critical sections, this method will block waiting for the lock.

To ensure predictable behaviour, you should re-check your abort condition if tryEnter returns false.

This method can be used if you want to do some work while waiting for the MessageManagerLock:

void doWorkWhileWaitingForMessageManagerLock() { MessageManager::Lock::ScopedTryLockType mmLock (messageManagerLock);

while (! mmLock.isLocked()) { while (workQueue.size() > 0) { auto work = workQueue.pop(); doSomeWork (work); }

this will block until we either have the lock or there is work mmLock.retryLock(); }

we have the mmlock do some message manager stuff like resizing and painting components }

called from another thread void addWorkToDo (Work work) { queue.push (work); messageManagerLock.abort(); }

Returns

false if waiting for a lock was aborted, true if the lock was acquired.
