+ \class QSemaphore
+ \brief The QSemaphore class provides a general counting semaphore.
+
+ \threadsafe
+
+ \ingroup thread
+
+ A semaphore is a generalization of a mutex. While a mutex can
+ only be locked once, it's possible to acquire a semaphore
+ multiple times. Semaphores are typically used to protect a
+ certain number of identical resources.
+
+ Semaphores support two fundamental operations, acquire() and
+ release():
+
+ \list
+ \o acquire(\e{n}) tries to acquire \e n resources. If there aren't
+ that many resources available, the call will block until this
+ is the case.
+ \o release(\e{n}) releases \e n resources.
+ \endlist
+
+ There's also a tryAcquire() function that returns immediately if
+ it cannot acquire the resources, and an available() function that
+ returns the number of available resources at any time.
+
+ Example:
+
+ \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_corelib_thread_qsemaphore.cpp 0
+
+ A typical application of semaphores is for controlling access to
+ a circular buffer shared by a producer thread and a consumer
+ thread. The \l{threads/semaphores}{Semaphores} example shows how
+ to use QSemaphore to solve that problem.
+
+ A non-computing example of a semaphore would be dining at a
+ restaurant. A semaphore is initialized with the number of chairs
+ in the restaurant. As people arrive, they want a seat. As seats
+ are filled, available() is decremented. As people leave, the
+ available() is incremented, allowing more people to enter. If a
+ party of 10 people want to be seated, but there are only 9 seats,
+ those 10 people will wait, but a party of 4 people would be
+ seated (taking the available seats to 5, making the party of 10
+ people wait longer).
