The AtomicInteger class

(PECL pht >= 0.0.1)

Introduction

The pht\AtomicInteger class is currently the only supported atomic value. It allows for an integer to be safely passed around between, and manipulated, by multiple threads. The methods exposed by this class do not need mutex locking, since they will acquire the internal mutex lock implicitly. pht\AtomicInteger::lock() and pht\AtomicInteger::unlock() are still exposed, however, for when multiple operations involving the same pht\AtomicInteger object need to be grouped together.

The mutex locks of the atomic values are reentrant safe.

Class synopsis

pht\AtomicInteger implements pht\Threaded {

/* Methods */

public __construct ([ int $value = 0 ] ) : AtomicInteger

public dec ( void ) : void

public get ( void ) : int

public inc ( void ) : void

public lock ( void ) : void

public set ( int $value ) : void

public unlock ( void ) : void

}

pht\AtomicInteger::__construct — AtomicInteger creation
pht\AtomicInteger::dec — Decrements the atomic integer's value by one
pht\AtomicInteger::get — Gets the atomic integer's value
pht\AtomicInteger::inc — Increments the atomic integer's value by one
pht\AtomicInteger::lock — Acquires the atomic integer's mutex lock
pht\AtomicInteger::set — Sets the atomic integer's value
pht\AtomicInteger::unlock — Releases the atomic integer's mutex lock
