如何使用NSConditionLock？或NSCondition

Question

我正在尝试让一个函数等待另一个函数，我想使用NSCondionLock来实现这一点。我不是在寻求帮助，而是真的希望有人能给我一个像样的教程或例子来解释NSConditionLock，或者可能提出一个更好的方法。

Answer 1

编辑：正如@Bonshington评论的那样，这个答案指的是NSCondition (而不是NSConditionLock)：

- (void) method1 {

    [myCondition lock];
    while (!someCheckIsTrue)
        [myCondition wait];


    // Do something.


    [myCondition unlock];
}

- (void) method2 {

    [myCondition lock];


    // Do something.


    someCheckIsTrue = YES;
    [myCondition signal];
    [myCondition unlock];
}

someCheckIsTrue可以是任何东西，它可以是一个简单的BOOL变量，甚至是像[myArray count] == 0 && color == kColorRed这样的东西，这都无关紧要。重要的是，在一种方法中，您可以在拥有锁的同时检查条件，而在另一种方法中，您可以进行更改，使条件在拥有锁的同时也成为真。神奇之处在于wait和signal部分：wait实际上解锁了锁，并在另一个名为signal的线程之后重新获得它。

对于那些想要一个样本测试类的人，我在这里发布了我所做的工作，以了解NSCondition是如何工作的。

// --- MyTestClass.h File --- //
@interface MyTestClass

- (void)startTest;

@end

// --- MyTestClass.m File --- //
@implementation MyTestClass
{
    NSCondition *_myCondition;
    BOOL _someCheckIsTrue;
}

- (id)init
{
    self = [super init];
    if (self) 
    {
        _someCheckIsTrue = NO;
        _myCondition = [[NSCondition alloc] init];
    }
    return self;
}

#pragma mark Public Methods

- (void)startTest
{
    [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(_method1) withObject:nil];

    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
        sleep(5);
        [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(_method2) withObject:nil];
    });
}

#pragma mark Private Methods

- (void)_method1
{
    NSLog(@"STARTING METHOD 1");

    NSLog(@"WILL LOCK METHOD 1");
    [_myCondition lock];
    NSLog(@"DID LOCK METHOD 1");

    while (!_someCheckIsTrue)
    {
        NSLog(@"WILL WAIT METHOD 1");
        [_myCondition wait];
        NSLog(@"DID WAIT METHOD 1");
    }

    NSLog(@"WILL UNLOCK METHOD 1");
    [_myCondition unlock];
    NSLog(@"DID UNLOCK METHOD 1");

    NSLog(@"ENDING METHOD 1");
}

- (void)_method2
{
    NSLog(@"STARTING METHOD 2");

    NSLog(@"WILL LOCK METHOD 2");
    [_myCondition lock];
    NSLog(@"DID LOCK METHOD 2");

    _someCheckIsTrue = YES;

    NSLog(@"WILL SIGNAL METHOD 2");
    [_myCondition signal];
    NSLog(@"DID SIGNAL METHOD 2");

    NSLog(@"WILL UNLOCK METHOD 2");
    [_myCondition unlock];
    NSLog(@"DID UNLOCK METHOD 2");
}

@end

NSConditionLock示例程序。

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

#define IDLE 0
#define START 1
#define TASK_1_FINISHED 2
#define TASK_2_FINISHED 3
#define CLEANUP_FINISHED 4

#define SHARED_DATA_LENGTH 1024 * 1024 * 1024

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    @autoreleasepool {
        NSConditionLock *lock = [[NSConditionLock alloc] initWithCondition:IDLE];
        char *shared_data = calloc(SHARED_DATA_LENGTH, sizeof(char));

        [NSThread detachNewThreadWithBlock:^{
            [lock lockWhenCondition:START];

            NSLog(@"[Thread-1]: Task 1 started...");
            for (size_t i = 0; i < SHARED_DATA_LENGTH; i++) {
                shared_data[i] = 0x00;
            }
            [lock unlockWithCondition:TASK_1_FINISHED];
        }];

        [NSThread detachNewThreadWithBlock:^{
            [lock lockWhenCondition:TASK_1_FINISHED];
            NSLog(@"[Thread-2]: Task 2 started...");
            for (size_t i = 0; i < SHARED_DATA_LENGTH; i++) {
                char c = shared_data[i];
                shared_data[i] = ~c;
            }
            [lock unlockWithCondition:TASK_2_FINISHED];
        }];

        [NSThread detachNewThreadWithBlock:^{
            [lock lockWhenCondition:TASK_2_FINISHED];

            NSLog(@"[Thread-3]: Cleaning up...");
            free(shared_data);
            [lock unlockWithCondition:CLEANUP_FINISHED];
        }];

        NSLog(@"[Thread-main]: Threads set up. Waiting for 2 task to finish");
        [lock unlockWithCondition:START];
        [lock lockWhenCondition:CLEANUP_FINISHED];
        NSLog(@"[Thread-main]: Completed");
    }
    return 0;
}
