Threading

GPA Gemstone Library

The Gemstone Threading Library organizes all Gemstone functionality related to threading.

This library includes helpful threading classes like the following:

• ShortSynchronizedOperation:
  • Represents a short-running synchronized operation, i.e., an Action, that cannot run while it is already in progress. Specifically, the class has the ability to execute an operation on another thread or mark the operation as pending if the operation is already running. When an operation is pending and the current operation completes, the operation will run again, once, regardless of the number of requests to run. See and methods.
