The `Notification` class provides the // following primary member functions: // * `HasBeenNotified() `to query its state // * `WaitForNotification*()` to have threads wait until the "notified" state // is `true`. // * `Notify()` to set the notification's "notified" state to `true` and // notify all waiting threads that the event has occurred. // This method may only be called once. // // Note that while `Notify()` may only be called once, it is perfectly valid to // call any of the `WaitForNotification*()` methods multiple times, from // multiple threads -- even after the notification's "notified" state has been // set -- in which case those methods will immediately return. // // Note that the lifetime of a `Notification` requires careful consideration; // it might not be safe to destroy a notification after calling `Notify()` since // it is still legal for other threads to call `WaitForNotification*()` methods // on the notification. However, observers responding to a "notified" state of // `true` can safely delete the notification without interfering with the call // to `Notify()` in the other thread. // // Memory ordering: For any threads X and Y, if X calls `Notify()`, then any // action taken by X before it calls `Notify()` is visible to thread Y after: // * Y returns from `WaitForNotification()`, or // * Y receives a `true` return value from either `HasBeenNotified()` or // `WaitForNotificationWithTimeout()`. #ifndef ABSL_SYNCHRONIZATION_NOTIFICATION_H_ #define ABSL_SYNCHRONIZATION_NOTIFICATION_H_ #include <atomic> #include "absl/synchronization/mutex.h" #include "absl/time/time.h" namespace absl { // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Notification // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- class Notification { public: // Initializes the "notified" state to unnotified.
