完整详解GCD系列（四）dispatch_semaphore（信号量）

/-------------注意----------------

这篇文章是在Swift 1.0时代写的，已经不适合当前的语法。关于Swift最新版本的GCD，参见我的这篇博客

/-------------注意----------------

一 何为信号量？

  简单来说就是控制访问资源的数量，比如系统有两个资源可以被利用，同时有三个线程要访问，只能允许两个线程访问，第三个应当等待资源被释放后再访问。

注意：再GCD中，只有调度的线程在信号量不足的时候才会进入内核态进行线程阻塞

二 如何使用信号量

三个主要函数

创建一个信号量

func dispatch_semaphore_create(_ value: Int) ->  dispatch_semaphore_t !

其中value为信号量的初值，如果小于0则会返回NULL

提高信号量

func dispatch_semaphore_signal(_ dsema: dispatch_semaphore_t!) -> Int

等待降低信号量

func dispatch_semaphore_wait(_ dsema: dispatch_semaphore_t!,
                           _ timeout: dispatch_time_t) -> Int

注意，正常的使用顺序是先降低然后再提高，这两个函数通常成对使用。

import UIKit

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var semaphore:dispatch_semaphore_t;
    required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        self.semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(1)
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
    }
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,0), {() -> Void  in
             self.task_first()
        })
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,0), { () -> Void in
            self.task_second()
        })
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,0), { () -> Void in
            self.task_third()
        })
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
    }
    func task_first(){
        dispatch_semaphore_wait(self.semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER)
        NSLog("%@","First task starting")
        sleep(1)
        NSLog("%@", "First task is done")
        dispatch_semaphore_signal(self.semaphore)
    }
    func task_second(){
        dispatch_semaphore_wait(self.semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER)
        NSLog("%@","Second task starting")
        sleep(1)
        NSLog("%@", "Second task is done")
        dispatch_semaphore_signal(self.semaphore)
    }
    func task_third(){
        dispatch_semaphore_wait(self.semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER)
        NSLog("%@","Thrid task starting")
        sleep(1)
        NSLog("%@", "Thrid task is done")
        dispatch_semaphore_signal(self.semaphore)
    }
    override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
        super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
        // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
    }


}

这段代码模拟提交三个任务，提交到全局队列（并行队列）
