Silverlight ReaderWriterLock实现好/坏？

Question

我有一个简单的(没有升级或超时) ReaderWriterLock的adopted实现，我想知道任何有合适的专业知识的人都可以验证它是好是坏的设计。对我来说，它看起来很好，它的工作就像广告宣传的那样，但我对多线程代码的经验有限。

public sealed class ReaderWriterLock
{
    private readonly object syncRoot = new object();    // Internal lock.
    private int i = 0;                                  // 0 or greater means readers can pass; -1 is active writer.
    private int readWaiters = 0;                        // Readers waiting for writer to exit.
    private int writeWaiters = 0;                       // Writers waiting for writer lock.
    private ConditionVariable conditionVar;             // Condition variable.

    public ReaderWriterLock()
    {
        conditionVar = new ConditionVariable(syncRoot);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a value indicating if a reader lock is held.
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsReaderLockHeld
    {
        get
        {
            lock ( syncRoot )
            {
                if ( i > 0 )
                    return true;
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Gets a value indicating if the writer lock is held.
    /// </summary>
    public bool IsWriterLockHeld
    {
        get
        {
            lock ( syncRoot )
            {
                if ( i < 0 )
                    return true;
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Aquires the writer lock.
    /// </summary>
    public void AcquireWriterLock()
    {
        lock ( syncRoot )
        {
            writeWaiters++;
            while ( i != 0 )
                conditionVar.Wait();      // Wait until existing writer frees the lock.
            writeWaiters--;
            i = -1;             // Thread has writer lock.
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Aquires a reader lock.
    /// </summary>
    public void AcquireReaderLock()
    {
        lock ( syncRoot )
        {
            readWaiters++;
            // Defer to a writer (one time only) if one is waiting to prevent writer starvation.
            if ( writeWaiters > 0 )
            {
                conditionVar.Pulse();
                Monitor.Wait(syncRoot);
            }
            while ( i < 0 )
                Monitor.Wait(syncRoot);
            readWaiters--;
            i++;
        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Releases the writer lock.
    /// </summary>
    public void ReleaseWriterLock()
    {
        bool doPulse = false;
        lock ( syncRoot )
        {
            i = 0;
            // Decide if we pulse a writer or readers.
            if ( readWaiters > 0 )
            {
                Monitor.PulseAll(syncRoot); // If multiple readers waiting, pulse them all.
            }
            else
            {
                doPulse = true;
            }
        }
        if ( doPulse )
            conditionVar.Pulse();                     // Pulse one writer if one waiting.
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Releases a reader lock.
    /// </summary>
    public void ReleaseReaderLock()
    {
        bool doPulse = false;
        lock ( syncRoot )
        {
            i--;
            if ( i == 0 )
                doPulse = true;
        }
        if ( doPulse )
            conditionVar.Pulse();                     // Pulse one writer if one waiting.
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Condition Variable (CV) class.
    /// </summary>
    public class ConditionVariable
    {
        private readonly object syncLock = new object(); // Internal lock.
        private readonly object m;                       // The lock associated with this CV.

        public ConditionVariable(object m)
        {
            lock (syncLock)
            {
                this.m = m;
            }
        }

        public void Wait()
        {
            bool enter = false;
            try
            {
                lock (syncLock)
                {
                    Monitor.Exit(m);
                    enter = true;
                    Monitor.Wait(syncLock);
                }
            }
            finally
            {
                if (enter)
                    Monitor.Enter(m);
            }
        }

        public void Pulse()
        {
            lock (syncLock)
            {
                Monitor.Pulse(syncLock);
            }
        }

        public void PulseAll()
        {
            lock (syncLock)
            {
                Monitor.PulseAll(syncLock);
            }
        }

    }

} 

如果它是好的，它可能对其他人也有帮助，因为Silverlight目前缺乏读写器类型的锁。谢谢。

我将深入解释Vance Morrison's ReaderWriterLock (在.NET 3.5中成为ReaderWriterLockSlim ) on my blog (深入到x86级别)。这可能会对你的设计有所帮助，尤其是理解事物是如何工作的。

Answer 2

您的IsReadorLockHeld和IsWriterLockHeld方法在概念层面上都存在缺陷。虽然可以确定在给定的时间点是否持有特定的锁，但如果没有此信息，则绝对无法安全地执行任何操作，除非您继续持有该锁(而不是代码中的情况)。

这些方法应该更准确地命名为WasReadLockHeldInThePast和WasWriterLockHeldInThePast。一旦您将这些方法重命名为它们所做的事情的更准确的表示形式，就会变得更加清楚，它们并不是很有用。

这个类对我来说似乎更简单，并且提供了相同的功能。它的性能可能会稍差一些，因为它总是使用PulsesAll()，但是它的逻辑要简单得多，我怀疑它的性能是否有那么好。

public sealed class ReaderWriterLock()
{
    private readonly object internalLock = new object();
    private int activeReaders = 0;
    private bool activeWriter = false;

    public void AcquireReaderLock()
    {
        lock (internalLock)
        {
            while (activeWriter)
                Monitor.Wait(internalLock);
            ++activeReaders;
        }
    }

    public void ReleaseReaderLock()
    {
        lock (internalLock)
        {
            // if activeReaders <= 0 do some error handling
            --activeReaders;
            Monitor.PulseAll(internalLock);
        }
    }

    public void AcquireWriterLock()
    {
        lock (internalLock)
        {
            // first wait for any writers to clear 
            // This assumes writers have a higher priority than readers
            // as it will force the readers to wait until all writers are done.
            // you can change the conditionals in here to change that behavior.
            while (activeWriter)
                Monitor.Wait(internalLock);

            // There are no more writers, set this to true to block further readers from acquiring the lock
            activeWriter = true;

            // Now wait till all readers have completed.
            while (activeReaders > 0)
                Monitor.Wait(internalLock);

            // The writer now has the lock
        }
    }

    public void ReleaseWriterLock()
    {
        lock (internalLock)
        {
            // if activeWriter != true handle the error
            activeWriter = false;
            Monitor.PulseAll(internalLock);
        }
    }
}
