What are the intended uses for Guard and RWGuard (defined in Mutex.h)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: THRIFT-490
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-490
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Question
Components: Library (C++)
Affects Versions: 0.1
Environment: Mac OS X 10.5.6
Reporter: Rush Manbert
The Guard and RWGuard classes are defined much like the Synchronized class, but
there are also two macros defined, Guard(m) and RWGuard(m) which cause a
compile error if you try to declare a Guard or RWGuard on the stack.
To me, these look like scoped mutex locks that would be used like this:
{
Guard g(myMutex);
}
which is again just like the use of Synchronized.
Have I missed something? What is the intended usage for these classes? I need
to know because I'm writing tests for them so I can test my Boost Mutex and
ReadWriteMutex implementations.
