ost::SemaphoreLock(3)

✨ NAME ✨

ost::SemaphoreLock — the lil guard-class bestie that protects a chunk of your code with a semaphore, so only x instances of the member function get to run at the same time. no cap 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <thread.h>

💖 Public Member Functions 💖

• SemaphoreLock (Semaphore &_sem) — wait for the semaphore, babes ⏳
• ~SemaphoreLock () — posts the semaphore automatically, no manual labour required 💅

---

🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

Okay so, the SemaphoreLock class is used to protect a section of code through a semaphore so that only x instances of the member function may execute concurrently. it's giving "bouncer at the club door but for threads" 🔥

A common use is:

void func_to_protect() { SemaphoreLock lock(semaphore); ... operation ... }

NOTE: do not declare the variable as 'SemaohoreLock (semaphore)' — the mutex will be released at statement end. like, it will NOT do the thing you want. tragic. 💀
