Function Documentation

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_Mutex_delete ( OSAPI_Mutex_T mutex)

Delete a mutex.

Parameters:
[in]mutexDelete a mutex created with OSAPI_Mutex_new.
Returns:
RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure
OSAPI_Mutex_T* OSAPI_Mutex_new ( void  )

Create a mutex.

Returns:
Pointer to a mutex in a not taken condition. NULL on failure.

See Also OSAPI_Mutex_delete

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_Mutex_take ( OSAPI_Mutex_T self)

Take a mutex.

A mutex can only be taken if it is not currently already taken by another thread; it CAN be taken if is it already taken by the same thread. In order to release a mutex, it must be given as many times a it has been taken. Note that take will block indefinitely.

Note: the mutex is not required to support priority inversion; there is no protection against deadlocks or starvation.

Parameters:
[in]selfTake a mutex previously created with OSAPI_Mutex_new.
Returns:
RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure

See Also OSAPI_Mutex_give, OSAPI_Mutex_new

RTI_BOOL OSAPI_Mutex_give ( OSAPI_Mutex_T self)

Give a mutex.

A mutex can only be given if it is owned by the calling thread. Furthermore, it must be given as many times as it has been taken.

Parameters:
[in]selfTake a mutex previously created with OSAPI_Mutex_new.
Returns:
RTI_TRUE on success, RTI_FALSE on failure
