pc_stack


An os_pc_stack is a last-in-first-out (LIFO) based producer consumer stack with a specified maximum size (bounded buffer). Items can be inserted into the stack using the push() method. If the stack is full, the calling thread blocks until the stack is not full. Items can be removed from the stack in a LIFO order using the pop() method. If the stack is empty, the calling thread blocks until the stack is not empty.

The template arguments of the os_pc_stack class are similar to the C++ standard library stack container adapter class.

Library

Thread<ToolKit>

Declaration

#include <ospace/thread/pcstack.h>

template< class T, class Container >
class os_pc_stack

Interface

Constructor
os_pc_stack( size_type max_size )
Constructs a stack with a maximum size limit of max_size and a default constructed object of type Container as the internal buffer.
Constructor
os_pc_stack( size_type max_size , const Container& container )
Constructs a stack with a maximum size limit of max_size and a copy of container as the internal buffer.
Destructor
~os_pc_priority_queue()
Destroys the stack.
<
bool operator<( const os_pc_stack< T, Container >& other ) const
Returns true if this stack is lexicographically less than other .
==
bool operator==( const os_pc_stack< T, Container >& other ) const
Returns true if this stack and other are equivalent.
close
void close()
Closes the stack. No items will be allowed to be pushed into the stack. Items will be allowed to be popped until the stack becomes empty.
closed
bool closed() const
Returns true if closed for adding new items. All threads calling pop() will not block.
empty
bool empty() const
Returns true if the stack contain no elements.
full
bool full() const
Returns true if the stack is full.
max_size
size_type max_size() const
Returns the maximum number of elements the stack can contain.
pop
value_type pop()
Removes the item in the front of the stack (LIFO order) and returns it. If the stack is empty, the calling thread blocks until the stack is not empty. If this method is called after the stack is closed, then an exception is thrown.

Throws: os_thread_toolkit_error

pop
void pop( value_type& value )
Removes the item in the front of the stack (LIFO order) and places a copy of it in value . If the stack is empty, the calling thread blocks until the stack is not empty. If this method is called after the stack is closed, then an exception is thrown.

Throws: os_thread_toolkit_error

pop
bool pop( value_type& value , long milliseconds )
Removes the item in the front of the stack (LIFO order) and places a copy of it in value . If the stack is empty, the calling thread blocks until the stack is not empty or until milliseconds time expires. Returns true if the value is filled with the popped value. If this method is called after the stack is closed, then an exception is thrown.

Throws: os_thread_toolkit_error

push
void push( const value_type& value )
Inserts the item value into the stack. If the stack is full, the calling thread blocks until the stack is not full. If this method is called after the stack is closed, then an exception is thrown.

Throws: os_thread_toolkit_error

push
bool push( const value_type& value , long milliseconds )
Inserts the item value into the stack. If the stack is full, the calling thread blocks until the stack is not full or until milliseconds time expires. Returns true if the value is inserted. If this method is called after the stack is closed, then an exception is thrown.

Throws: os_thread_toolkit_error

reopen
void reopen()
Reopens the stack for pushing and popping items.
size
size_type size() const
Returns the number of elements that the stack currently contains.
