Member Function Documentation

◆ lock_read()

int lockfile::lock_read ( ) 
Shared read lock.  Only read lock can be held concurrently.
If write lock is already held by this process, it will be
changed to read lock.
Blocking call.

References errno, fd, filename, and SEEK_SET.

Referenced by run_gcc().

◆ lock_write()

int lockfile::lock_write ( ) 
fcntl.h may exist without expected contents.   
Unique write lock.  No other lock can be held on this lockfile.
Blocking call.

References errno, fd, filename, and SEEK_SET.

Referenced by run_gcc().

◆ locked()

bool lockfile::locked ( )
inline

References fd.

◆ lockfile_supported()

bool lockfile::lockfile_supported ( )
static 
Are lockfiles supported?

Referenced by run_gcc().

◆ operator=()

void lockfile::operator= ( lockfile o)
inline

References fd, filename, lockfile(), and unlock().

◆ try_lock_write()

int lockfile::try_lock_write ( ) 
Unique write lock.  No other lock can be held on this lockfile.
Only locks if this filelock is not locked by any other process.
Return whether locking was successful.

References fd, filename, and SEEK_SET.

◆ unlock()

void lockfile::unlock ( ) 
Unlock all previously placed locks.

References fd, and SEEK_SET.

Referenced by operator=(), and run_gcc().
