Mutex及例子

Mutex

Mutex 就像一个C# lock一样，不同的是它可以跨进程.

使用一个Mutex的实例，调用WaitOne方法来获取锁，ReleaseMutex方法来释放锁。

互斥体有两种类型：局部互斥体和已命名的系统互斥体。如果使用接受名称的构造函数创建 Mutex 对象，则该对象与具有该名称的操作系统对象关联。已命名的系统互斥体在整个操作系统中都可见，可用于同步进程活动。您可以创建多个 Mutex 对象来表示同一个已命名的系统互斥体，也可以使用 OpenExisting 方法打开现有的已命名系统互斥体

例子

class Test

{

    // Create a new Mutex. The creating thread does not own the

    // Mutex.

    private static Mutex mut = new Mutex();

    private const int numIterations = 1;

    private const int numThreads = 3;

    static void Main()

    {

        // Create the threads that will use the protected resource.

        for(int i = 0; i < numThreads; i++)

        {

            Thread myThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(MyThreadProc));

            myThread.Name = String.Format("Thread{0}", i + 1);

            myThread.Start();

        }

        // The main thread exits, but the application continues to

        // run until all foreground threads have exited.

    }

    private static void MyThreadProc()

    {

        for(int i = 0; i < numIterations; i++)

        {

            UseResource();

        }

    }

    // This method represents a resource that must be synchronized

    // so that only one thread at a time can enter.

    private static void UseResource()

    {

        // Wait until it is safe to enter.

        mut.WaitOne();

        Console.WriteLine("{0} has entered the protected area", 

            Thread.CurrentThread.Name);

        // Place code to access non-reentrant resources here.

        // Simulate some work.

        Thread.Sleep(500);

        Console.WriteLine("{0} is leaving the protected area\r\n", 

            Thread.CurrentThread.Name);

        // Release the Mutex.

        mut.ReleaseMutex();

    }
