## Class interprocess_condition

boost::interprocess::interprocess_condition

## Synopsis

    class interprocess_condition {
    public:
      // construct/copy/destruct
      interprocess_condition();
      ~interprocess_condition();

      // public member functions
      void notify_one() ;
      void notify_all() ;
      template<typename L> void wait(L &) ;
      template<typename L, typename Pr> void wait(L &, Pr) ;
      template<typename L> bool timed_wait(L &, const boost::posix_time::ptime &) ;
      template<typename L, typename Pr>
        bool timed_wait(L &, const boost::posix_time::ptime &, Pr) ;
    };

## Description

### `interprocess_condition` public construct/copy/destruct

1.     interprocess_condition();

   Constructs a interprocess_condition. On error throws interprocess_exception.

2.     ~interprocess_condition();

   Destroys *this liberating system resources.

### `interprocess_condition` public member functions

1.     void notify_one() ;

   If there is a thread waiting on *this, change that thread's state to ready. Otherwise there is no effect.

2.     void notify_all() ;

   Change the state of all threads waiting on *this to ready. If there are no waiting threads, notify_all() has no effect.

3.     template<typename L> void wait(L & lock) ;

   Releases the lock on the interprocess_mutex object associated with lock, blocks the current thread of execution until readied by a call to this->notify_one() or this->notify_all(), and then reacquires the lock.

4.     template<typename L, typename Pr> void wait(L & lock, Pr pred) ;

   The same as: while (!pred()) wait(lock)

5.     template<typename L>
         bool timed_wait(L & lock, const boost::posix_time::ptime & abs_time) ;

   Releases the lock on the interprocess_mutex object associated with lock, blocks the current thread of execution until readied by a call to this->notify_one() or this->notify_all(), or until time abs_time is reached, and then reacquires the lock. Returns: false if time abs_time is reached, otherwise true.

6.     template<typename L, typename Pr>
         bool timed_wait(L & lock, const boost::posix_time::ptime & abs_time,
                         Pr pred) ;

   The same as: while (!pred()) { if (!timed_wait(lock, abs_time)) return pred(); } return true;
