pthread条件变量

muduo/base/Condition.h中有对条件变量的封装，底层是pthread 条件变量。

条件变量

条件变量是线程使用的一种同步机制。条件变量给多个线程提供了会合的场所。条件变量和互斥量一起用的时候，允许线程以无竞争的方式等待特定的条件发生。条件是受互斥量保护的。线程在改变条件状态时必须首先对互斥量加锁。

相关函数

1.初始化与销毁

pthread_cond_t数据类型表示条件变量，使用以下两个函数对条件变量进行初始化和销毁：

#include <pthread.h>int pthread_cond_init(pthread_cond_t *restrict cond,const pthread_condattr_t *restrict attr);int pthread_cond_destroy(pthread_cond_t *cond);

注：关键字restrict只用于限定指针；该关键字用于告知编译器，所有修改该指针所指向内容的操作全部都是基于(base on)该指针的，即不存在其它进行修改操作的途径；这样的后果是帮助编译器进行更好的代码优化，生成更有效率的汇编代码。

2.等待条件变量

我们使用pthread_cond_wait等待条件变量变为真：

#include <pthread.h>int pthread_cond_wait(pthread_cond_t *restrict cond, pthread_mutex_t *restrict mutex);

当线程调用pthread_cond_wait()函数时，会将调用线程放到等待条件的线程列表上，并原子的对互斥量解锁（这样就不会死锁）。当pthread_cond_wait()返回时，互斥量再次锁住。

3.通知线程条件满足

我们使用两个函数可以通知线程条件已经满足。pthread_cond_signal函数至少能唤醒一个等待该条件的线程。pthread_cond_broadcast函数能唤醒等待该条件的所有线程。

#include <pthread.h>int pthread_cond_signal(pthread_cond_t * cond);int pthread_cond_broadcast(pthread_cond_t * cond);

这两个函数都可以给条件等待线程发信号，不过需要注意的是，一定要在改变条件状态以后再给线程发信号。
