# ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM > Class Template Reference

This is an adapter that allows applications to transparently combine the <ACE_Lock> abstract base class (which contains pure virtual methods) with any of the other concrete ACE synchronization classes (e.g., <ACE_Mutex>, <ACE_Semaphore>, <ACE_RW_Mutex>, etc.). More...

## Detailed Description

### template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
class ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >

This is an adapter that allows applications to transparently combine the <ACE_Lock> abstract base class (which contains pure virtual methods) with any of the other concrete ACE synchronization classes (e.g., <ACE_Mutex>, <ACE_Semaphore>, <ACE_RW_Mutex>, etc.).

This class uses a form of the Adapter pattern.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::ACE_Lock_Adapter | ( | ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM & | lock | ) |

| Constructor. All locking requests will be forwarded to <lock>.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::ACE_Lock_Adapter | ( | void |  | ) |

| Constructor. Since no lock is provided by the user, one will be created internally.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::~ACE_Lock_Adapter | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Destructor. If <lock_> was not passed in by the user, it will be deleted.

## Member Function Documentation

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::acquire | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Block the thread until the lock is acquired. Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::acquire_read | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Block until the thread acquires a read lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::acquire_write | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Block until the thread acquires a write lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::release | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Release the lock. Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::remove | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Explicitly destroy the lock. Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Conditionally acquire the lock (i.e., won't block). Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire_read | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Conditionally acquire a read lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire_write | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Conditionally acquire a write lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. Implements ACE_Lock.

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_INLINE int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::tryacquire_write_upgrade | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Conditionally try to upgrade a lock held for read to a write lock. If the locking mechanism doesn't support read locks then this just calls <acquire>. Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure. Implements ACE_Lock.

## Member Data Documentation

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
int ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::delete_lock_`[private]`

| This flag keep track of whether we are responsible for deleting the lock

template<class ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM>
ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM* ACE_Lock_Adapter< ACE_LOCKING_MECHANISM >::lock_`[private]`

| The concrete locking mechanism that all the methods delegate to.
