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 \li 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. \li 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 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{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). \sa QMutex, QWaitCondition, QThread, {Semaphores Example} */ class QSemaphorePrivate { public: inline QSemaphorePrivate(int n) : avail(n) { } QMutex mutex; QWaitCondition cond; int avail; }; /*!
