CComMultiThreadModelNoCS Class

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS provides thread-safe methods for incrementing and decrementing the value of a variable, without critical section locking or unlocking functionality.

Syntax

class CComMultiThreadModelNoCS

Members

Public Typedefs

Public Methods

Remarks

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS is similar to CComMultiThreadModel in that it provides thread-safe methods for incrementing and decrementing a variable. However, when you reference a critical section class through CComMultiThreadModelNoCS, methods such as Lock and Unlock will do nothing.

Typically, you use CComMultiThreadModelNoCS through the ThreadModelNoCS typedef name. This typedef is defined in CComMultiThreadModelNoCS, CComMultiThreadModel, and CComSingleThreadModel.

In addition to ThreadModelNoCS, CComMultiThreadModelNoCS defines AutoCriticalSection and CriticalSection. These latter two typedef names reference CComFakeCriticalSection, which provides empty methods associated with obtaining and releasing a critical section.

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS::AutoCriticalSection

When using CComMultiThreadModelNoCS, the typedef name AutoCriticalSection references class CComFakeCriticalSection.

typedef CComFakeCriticalSection AutoCriticalSection;

Remarks

Because CComFakeCriticalSection does not provide a critical section, its methods do nothing.

CComMultiThreadModel and CComSingleThreadModel also contain definitions for AutoCriticalSection. The following table shows the relationship between the threading model class and the critical section class referenced by AutoCriticalSection:

In addition to AutoCriticalSection, you can use the typedef name CriticalSection. You should not specify AutoCriticalSection in global objects or static class members if you want to eliminate the CRT startup code.

Example

See CComMultiThreadModel::AutoCriticalSection.

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS::CriticalSection

When using CComMultiThreadModelNoCS, the typedef name CriticalSection references class CComFakeCriticalSection.

typedef CComFakeCriticalSection CriticalSection;

Remarks

Because CComFakeCriticalSection does not provide a critical section, its methods do nothing.

CComMultiThreadModel and CComSingleThreadModel also contain definitions for CriticalSection. The following table shows the relationship between the threading model class and the critical section class referenced by CriticalSection:

In addition to CriticalSection, you can use the typedef name AutoCriticalSection. You should not specify AutoCriticalSection in global objects or static class members if you want to eliminate the CRT startup code.

Example

See CComMultiThreadModel::AutoCriticalSection.

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS::Decrement

This static function calls the Win32 function InterlockedDecrement, which decrements the value of the variable pointed to by p.

static ULONG WINAPI Decrement(LPLONG p) throw();

Parameters

p
[in] Pointer to the variable to be decremented.

Return Value

If the result of the decrement is 0, then Decrement returns 0. If the result of the decrement is nonzero, the return value is also nonzero but may not equal the result of the decrement.

Remarks

InterlockedDecrement prevents more than one thread from simultaneously using this variable.

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS::Increment

This static function calls the Win32 function InterlockedIncrement, which increments the value of the variable pointed to by p.

static ULONG WINAPI Increment(LPLONG p) throw();

Parameters

p
[in] Pointer to the variable to be incremented.

Return Value

If the result of the increment is 0, then Increment returns 0. If the result of the increment is nonzero, the return value is also nonzero but may not equal the result of the increment.

Remarks

InterlockedIncrement prevents more than one thread from simultaneously using this variable.

CComMultiThreadModelNoCS::ThreadModelNoCS

When using CComMultiThreadModelNoCS, the typedef name ThreadModelNoCS simply references CComMultiThreadModelNoCS.

typedef CComMultiThreadModelNoCS ThreadModelNoCS;

Remarks

CComMultiThreadModel and CComSingleThreadModel also contain definitions for ThreadModelNoCS. The following table shows the relationship between the threading model class and the class referenced by ThreadModelNoCS:

Note that the definition of ThreadModelNoCS in CComMultiThreadModelNoCS provides symmetry with CComMultiThreadModel and CComSingleThreadModel. For example, suppose the sample code in CComMultiThreadModel::AutoCriticalSection declared the following typedef:

typedef typename ThreadModel::ThreadModelNoCS _ThreadModel;

Regardless of the class specified for ThreadModel (such as CComMultiThreadModelNoCS), _ThreadModel resolves accordingly.

Example

See CComMultiThreadModel::AutoCriticalSection.
