ModeSpec is one of % `read`, `write`, `read(Priority)` or `write(Priority)`. The default % `read` priority is 100 and the default `write` priority is 200. % These values prioritize writers over readers. Goal may start if % % - If there is no goal waiting with higher priority __and__ % - It is a read goal and no write goal is running __or__ % - It is a write goal and no other goal is running. % % If Goal may not start immediately the thread waits using % thread_wait/2. The Options `timeout` and `deadline` are passed to % thread_wait/2. If the time limit is exceeded an exception is raised. % % _Read/write_ locks are widely critized for their poor behaviour on % several workloads. They perform well in scenarios where read % operations take long, and write operations are relatively fast and % occur only occasionally. _Transactions_, as implemented by % transaction/1,2 are often a better alternative. % % This predicate uses a normal mutex and a flag with the same name. See % with_mutex/2 and flag/3. Neither the mutex nor the flag should be % used directly. % % @throws time_limit_exceeded(rwlock) if a timeout or deadline is % specified and this is exceeded. % % @bug The current implementation is written in Prolog and comes with % significant overhead. It is intended to synchronize slow operations. with_rwlock(LockId, Goal, ModeSpec) :- with_rwlock(LockId, Goal, ModeSpec, []). with_rwlock(LockId, Goal, ModeSpec, Options) :- must_be(atom, LockId), must_be(callable, Goal), rwmode(ModeSpec, Mode, Pri), flag(LockId, Id, Id+1), ( with_mutex(LockId, may_start(LockId, Mode, Pri, Id)) -> true ; wait(LockId, Mode, Pri, Id, Options) ), call_cleanup(once(Goal), with_mutex(LockId, completed(LockId, Id))). rwmode(read, Mode, Pri) => Mode = read, Pri = 100. rwmode(write, Mode, Pri) => Mode = write, Pri = 200. rwmode(read(X), Mode, Pri), number(X) => Mode = read, Pri = X. rwmode(write(X), Mode, Pri), number(X) => Mode = write, Pri = X. rwmode(Mode, _, _) => type_error(rwlock_mode, Mode). :- dynamic ( access/3, % LockId, Mode, Id waiting/4 % LockId, Mode, Pri, Id ) as volatile. may_start(LockId, _Mode, Pri, _) :- waiting(LockId, _, WPri, _), WPri > Pri, !, fail. may_start(LockId, read, _Pri, Id) :- \+ access(LockId, write, _), !, asserta(access(LockId, read, Id)). may_start(LockId, write, _Pri, Id) :- \+ access(LockId, _, _), !, asserta(access(LockId, write, Id)). wait(LockId, Mode, Pri, Id, Options) :- deadline_option(DOption, Options), assertz(waiting(LockId, Mode, Pri, Id)), ( thread_wait(\+ waiting(LockId, _, _, Id), [ wait_preds([waiting/4]) | DOption ]) -> true ; retractall(waiting(LockId, _, _, Id)), throw(time_limit_exceeded(rwlock)) ). deadline_option([deadline(Time)], Options) :- ( option(deadline(Time), Options) -> true ; option(timeout(Rel), Options) -> get_time(Now), Time is Now+Rel ), !. deadline_option([], _). completed(LockId, Id) :- retractall(access(LockId, _, Id)), with_mutex(LockId, wakeup(LockId)). wakeup(LockId) :- findall(t(Mode,Pri,Id), waiting(LockId, Mode, Pri, Id), Triples), sort(2, >=, Triples, Sorted), member(t(Mode,Pri,Id), Sorted), ( Mode == write -> \+ access(LockId, _, _) ; \+ access(LockId, _, _) ), !, retractall(waiting(LockId, _, _, Id)). wakeup(_).
