CLASSMETHODS::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::new
|
||
|
|
Create a new instance, set the strong::test:: variable.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
INSTANCEMETHODS::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::test
|
||
|
|
Answer whether the condition will block or not (boolean).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::wait
|
||
|
|
Wait until the condition is true and signalled. This only works in a Routine. This method yields a symbol (\hang), so that the clock doesn't reschedule the Routine.
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
c = Condition(false); fork { 0.5.wait; "started ...".postln; c.wait; "... and finished.".postln };
|
||
|
|
c.test = true;
|
||
|
|
c.signal;
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::hang
|
||
|
|
Wait for strong::value:: time, regardless of test. This only works in a Routine. This method yields a symbol (\hang), so that the clock doesn't reschedule the Routine.
|
||
|
|
code::
|
||
|
|
c = Condition.new; fork { 0.5.wait; "started ...".postln; c.hang; "... and finished.".postln };
|
||
|
|
c.unhang;
|
||
|
|
::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::signal
|
||
|
|
If link::#-test:: is true, reschedule blocked threads.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
method::unhang
|
||
|
|
Resume threads.
