#
# CONDITIONS
#
# A condition object is created via
#   import this_module
#   your_condition_object = this_module.condition(lock=None)
#
# As explained below, a condition object has a lock associated with it,
# used in the protocol to protect condition data.  You can specify a
# lock to use in the constructor, else the constructor will allocate
# an anonymous lock for you.  Specifying a lock explicitly can be useful
# when more than one condition keys off the same set of shared data.
#
# Methods:
#   .acquire()
#      acquire the lock associated with the condition
#   .release()
#      release the lock associated with the condition
#   .wait()
#      block the thread until such time as some other thread does a
#      .signal or .broadcast on the same condition, and release the
#      lock associated with the condition.  The lock associated with
#      the condition MUST be in the acquired state at the time
#      .wait is invoked.
#   .signal()
#      wake up exactly one thread (if any) that previously did a .wait
#      on the condition; that thread will awaken with the lock associated
#      with the condition in the acquired state.  If no threads are
#      .wait'ing, this is a nop.  If more than one thread is .wait'ing on
#      the condition, any of them may be awakened.
#   .broadcast()
#      wake up all threads (if any) that are .wait'ing on the condition;
#      the threads are woken up serially, each with the lock in the
#      acquired state, so should .release() as soon as possible.  If no
#      threads are .wait'ing, this is a nop.
#
#      Note that if a thread does a .wait *while* a signal/broadcast is
#      in progress, it's guaranteeed to block until a subsequent
#      signal/broadcast.
#
#      Secret feature:  `broadcast' actually takes an integer argument,
#      and will wake up exactly that many waiting threads (or the total
#      number waiting, if that's less).  Use of this is dubious, though,
#      and probably won't be supported if this form of condition is
#      reimplemented in C.
#
# DIFFERENCES FROM POSIX
#
# + A separate mutex is not needed to guard condition data.  Instead, a
#   condition object can (must) be .acquire'ed and .release'ed directly.
#   This eliminates a common error in using POSIX conditions.
#
# + Because of implementation difficulties, a POSIX `signal' wakes up
#   _at least_ one .wait'ing thread.  Race conditions make it difficult
#   to stop that.  This implementation guarantees to wake up only one,
#   but you probably shouldn't rely on that.
#
# PROTOCOL
#
# Condition objects are used to block threads until "some condition" is
# true.  E.g., a thread may wish to wait until a producer pumps out data
# for it to consume, or a server may wish to wait until someone requests
# its services, or perhaps a whole bunch of threads want to wait until a
# preceding pass over the data is complete.  Early models for conditions
# relied on some other thread figuring out when a blocked thread's
# condition was true, and made the other thread responsible both for
# waking up the blocked thread and guaranteeing that it woke up with all
# data in a correct state.  This proved to be very delicate in practice,
# and gave conditions a bad name in some circles.
#
# The POSIX model addresses these problems by making a thread responsible
# for ensuring that its own state is correct when it wakes, and relies
# on a rigid protocol to make this easy; so long as you stick to the
# protocol, POSIX conditions are easy to "get right":
#
#  A) The thread that's waiting for some arbitrarily-complex condition
#     (ACC) to become true does:
#
#     condition.acquire()
#     while not (code to evaluate the ACC):
#           condition.wait()
#           # That blocks the thread, *and* releases the lock.  When a
#           # condition.signal() happens, it will wake up some thread that
#           # did a .wait, *and* acquire the lock again before .wait
#           # returns.
#           #
#           # Because the lock is acquired at this point, the state used
#           # in evaluating the ACC is frozen, so it's safe to go back &
#           # reevaluate the ACC.
#
#     # At this point, ACC is true, and the thread has the condition
#     # locked.
#     # So code here can safely muck with the shared state that
#     # went into evaluating the ACC -- if it wants to.
#     # When done mucking with the shared state, do
#     condition.release()
#
#  B) Threads that are mucking with shared state that may affect the
#     ACC do:
#
#     condition.acquire()
#     # muck with shared state
#     condition.release()
#     if it's possible that ACC is true now:
#         condition.signal() # or .broadcast()
#
#     Note:  You may prefer to put the "if" clause before the release().
#     That's fine, but do note that anyone waiting on the signal will
#     stay blocked until the release() is done (since acquiring the
#     condition is part of what .wait() does before it returns).
#
# TRICK OF THE TRADE
#
# With simpler forms of conditions, it can be impossible to know when
# a thread that's supposed to do a .wait has actually done it.  But
# because this form of condition releases a lock as _part_ of doing a
# wait, the state of that lock can be used to guarantee it.
#
# E.g., suppose thread A spawns thread B and later wants to wait for B to
# complete:
#
# In A:                             In B:
#
# B_done = condition()              ... do work ...
# B_done.acquire()                  B_done.acquire(); B_done.release()
# spawn B                           B_done.signal()
# ... some time later ...           ... and B exits ...
# B_done.wait()
#
# Because B_done was in the acquire'd state at the time B was spawned,
# B's attempt to acquire B_done can't succeed until A has done its
# B_done.wait() (which releases B_done).  So B's B_done.signal() is
# guaranteed to be seen by the .wait().  Without the lock trick, B
# may signal before A .waits, and then A would wait forever.
#
# BARRIERS
#
# A barrier object is created via
#   import this_module
#   your_barrier = this_module.barrier(num_threads)
#
# Methods:
#   .enter()
#      the thread blocks until num_threads threads in all have done
#      .enter().  Then the num_threads threads that .enter'ed resume,
#      and the barrier resets to capture the next num_threads threads
#      that .enter it.
#
# EVENTS
#
# An event object is created via
#   import this_module
#   your_event = this_module.event()
#
# An event has two states, `posted' and `cleared'.  An event is
# created in the cleared state.
#
# Methods:
#
#   .post()
#      Put the event in the posted state, and resume all threads
#      .wait'ing on the event (if any).
#
#   .clear()
#      Put the event in the cleared state.
#
#   .is_posted()
#      Returns 0 if the event is in the cleared state, or 1 if the event
#      is in the posted state.
#
#   .wait()
#      If the event is in the posted state, returns immediately.
#      If the event is in the cleared state, blocks the calling thread
#      until the event is .post'ed by another thread.
#
# Note that an event, once posted, remains posted until explicitly
# cleared.  Relative to conditions, this is both the strength & weakness
# of events.  It's a strength because the .post'ing thread doesn't have to
# worry about whether the threads it's trying to communicate with have
# already done a .wait (a condition .signal is seen only by threads that
# do a .wait _prior_ to the .signal; a .signal does not persist).  But
# it's a weakness because .clear'ing an event is error-prone:  it's easy
# to mistakenly .clear an event before all the threads you intended to
# see the event get around to .wait'ing on it.  But so long as you don't
# need to .clear an event, events are easy to use safely.
#
# SEMAPHORES
#
# A semaphore object is created via
#   import this_module
#   your_semaphore = this_module.semaphore(count=1)
#
# A semaphore has an integer count associated with it.  The initial value
# of the count is specified by the optional argument (which defaults to
# 1) passed to the semaphore constructor.
#
# Methods:
#
#   .p()
#      If the semaphore's count is greater than 0, decrements the count
#      by 1 and returns.
#      Else if the semaphore's count is 0, blocks the calling thread
#      until a subsequent .v() increases the count.  When that happens,
#      the count will be decremented by 1 and the calling thread resumed.
#
#   .v()
#      Increments the semaphore's count by 1, and wakes up a thread (if
#      any) blocked by a .p().  It's an (detected) error for a .v() to
#      increase the semaphore's count to a value larger than the initial
#      count.
#
# MULTIPLE-READER SINGLE-WRITER LOCKS
#
# A mrsw lock is created via
#   import this_module
#   your_mrsw_lock = this_module.mrsw()
#
# This kind of lock is often useful with complex shared data structures.
# The object lets any number of "readers" proceed, so long as no thread
# wishes to "write".  When a (one or more) thread declares its intention
# to "write" (e.g., to update a shared structure), all current readers
# are allowed to finish, and then a writer gets exclusive access; all
# other readers & writers are blocked until the current writer completes.
# Finally, if some thread is waiting to write and another is waiting to
# read, the writer takes precedence.
#
# Methods:
#
#   .read_in()
#      If no thread is writing or waiting to write, returns immediately.
#      Else blocks until no thread is writing or waiting to write.  So
#      long as some thread has completed a .read_in but not a .read_out,
#      writers are blocked.
#
#   .read_out()
#      Use sometime after a .read_in to declare that the thread is done
#      reading.  When all threads complete reading, a writer can proceed.
#
#   .write_in()
#      If no thread is writing (has completed a .write_in, but hasn't yet
#      done a .write_out) or reading (similarly), returns immediately.
#      Else blocks the calling thread, and threads waiting to read, until
#      the current writer completes writing or all the current readers
#      complete reading; if then more than one thread is waiting to
#      write, one of them is allowed to proceed, but which one is not
#      specified.
#
#   .write_out()
#      Use sometime after a .write_in to declare that the thread is done
#      writing.  Then if some other thread is waiting to write, it's
#      allowed to proceed.  Else all threads (if any) waiting to read are
#      allowed to proceed.
#
#   .write_to_read()
#      Use instead of a .write_in to declare that the thread is done
#      writing but wants to continue reading without other writers
#      intervening.  If there are other threads waiting to write, they
#      are allowed to proceed only if the current thread calls
#      .read_out; threads waiting to read are only allowed to proceed
#      if there are are no threads waiting to write.  (This is a
#      weakness of the interface!)
