Overview

A synchronization object that allows one thread to wait on multiple other threads. The thread that will wait creates a ‘CountDownLatch` and sets the initial value (normally equal to the number of other threads). The initiating thread passes the latch to the other threads then waits for the other threads by calling the `#wait` method. Each of the other threads calls `#count_down` when done with its work. When the latch counter reaches zero the waiting thread is unblocked and continues with its work. A `CountDownLatch` can be used only once. Its value cannot be reset.

Examples:

Waiter and Decrementer

latch = Concurrent::CountDownLatch.new(3)

waiter = Thread.new do
  latch.wait()
  puts ("Waiter released")
end

decrementer = Thread.new do
  sleep(1)
  latch.count_down
  puts latch.count

  sleep(1)
  latch.count_down
  puts latch.count

  sleep(1)
  latch.count_down
  puts latch.count
end

[waiter, decrementer].each(&:join)

Constructor Details

#initialize(count = 1) ⇒ Object

Create a new ‘CountDownLatch` with the initial `count`.

Parameters:

  • count (new) (defaults to: 1)

    the initial count

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

    if ‘count` is not an integer or is less than zero

Instance Method Details

#countFixnum

The current value of the counter.

Returns:

  • (Fixnum)

    the current value of the counter

class CountDownLatch < CountDownLatchImplementation
end

#count_downObject

Signal the latch to decrement the counter. Will signal all blocked threads when the ‘count` reaches zero.

class CountDownLatch < CountDownLatchImplementation
end

#wait(timeout = nil) ⇒ Boolean

Block on the latch until the counter reaches zero or until ‘timeout` is reached.

Parameters:

  • timeout (Fixnum) (defaults to: nil)

    the number of seconds to wait for the counter or ‘nil` to block indefinitely

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    ‘true` if the `count` reaches zero else false on `timeout`
