💖 FBB::SharedBlock 💖

okay bestie, so this is FBB::SharedBlock, straight out of the bobcat manual, section 3. It's the little info-buddy for shared memory data blocks and it is lowkey doing the most important behind-the-scenes work. Let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

FBB::SharedBlock — shared memory data block info 🧠✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <bobcat/sharedblock>
Linking option: -lpthread, -lbobcat

so you literally just include the header and link those two, that's the whole vibe check 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea: FBB::SharedBlock objects are used by FBB::SharedSegment to access the IDs and shared memory locks of shared memory data segments.

that's it. that's the job. it's giving backstage-pass-for-shared-memory 🎀

👑 NAMESPACE 👑

FBB

every single constructor, member, operator and manipulator mentioned in this man page lives in the namespace FBB. no cap. 🫡

🌈 INHERITS FROM 🌈

-

nope, nothing. it inherits from literally no one. main character energy, no ancestors, periodt 💅

🎀 CONSTRUCTORS 🎀

Only the default constructor is available. 💖

Copy and move assignment operators are not available. so don't come for what isn't there bestie 😭

💜 MEMBER FUNCTIONS 💜

  • size_t id() const — returns the object's stored ID value. that's it, that's the whole function, iconic ⭐
  • void lock() const — by the time this member returns, the current process has obtained the FBB::SharedBlock's shared memory mutex lock. so like, you're in. you got the lock. slay 🔥
  • void setID(size_t id) — sets the object's stored ID value to id. boom, new ID, new you ✨
  • void unlock() const — releases the shared memory segment's mutex lock. let somebody else have a turn, we're not gatekeeping 🫶

🧚 EXAMPLE 🧚

See the sharedstream(3bobcat) man page. it's all laid out over there, go peek 💖
