Class BaseLock

source code

Known Subclasses:

Class handling claiming and releasing of self, and keeping track of current and waiting owners.


Note: Ideally, we'd like to maintain FIFO order. The place to do that would be the isAvailable() function. However, this function is called by builds/steps both for the first time, and after waking them up by self from the self.waiting queue. There is currently no way of distinguishing between them.

Method Details

waitUntilMaybeAvailable(self, owner, access)

source code 

Fire when the lock *might* be available. The caller will need to check with isAvailable() when the deferred fires. This loose form is used to avoid deadlocks. If we were interested in a stronger form, this would be named 'waitUntilAvailable', and the deferred would fire after the lock had been claimed.
