Method Modifiers
Modifiers
pthreads overrides the functionality of the protected and private method modifiers in order to provide functionality more suited to multi-threaded objects.
pthreads applies this functionality to all Thread, Worker and Stackable objects from creation.
protected method example: protected methods can only be executed by one Thread at a time.
synchronized()) {
}
}
protected function exclusive() {
/* synchronized method */
}
}
$thread = new ExampleThread();
if ($thread->start()) {
$thread->exclusive();
}
?>
]]>
private method example: private methods may only be executed by the Thread, Worker, or Stackable during execution
insideonly()) {
}
}
private function insideonly() {
/* private method */
}
}
$thread = new ExampleThread();
if ($thread->start()) {
$thread->insideonly();
}
?>
