## Detailed Description

Class that acquires, renews, and releases a writer lock that is local to the process.

This class implements the writer interface to canonical readers/writer locks. Multiple readers can hold the lock simultaneously when no writers have the lock. Alternatively, when a writer holds the lock, no other participants (readers or writers) may hold the lock. This class is a more general-purpose synchronization mechanism than SunOS 5.x WLock. For example, it implements "recursive WLock" semantics, where a thread that owns the token can reacquire it without deadlocking. In addition, threads that are blocked awaiting the token are serviced in strict FIFO order as other threads release the token (SunOS 5.x WLocks don't strictly enforce an acquisition order). The interfaces for acquire, tryacquire, renew, release, etc. are defined in ACE_Token_Proxy. The semantics for ACE_Local_WLock are that of a readers/writers lock. Acquire for this class implies a writer acquisition. That is, only one client may hold the lock for writing.

ACE_Local_WLock::ACE_Local_WLock | ( | const ACE_TCHAR * | token_name = 0,
|  | int | ignore_deadlock = 0,
|  | int | debug = 0
| ) |

  | Constructor. Parameters:
  token_name | Uniquely id's the token.
  ignore_deadlock | Will allow deadlock to occur (useful for testing).
  debug | Prints a bunch of messages.
