🦋 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. the SbBarrier class implements the "barrier" multi-thread synchronization technique. that's the whole vibe.

a barrier is a synchronization mechanism that is used for blocking threads as they enter the barrier until a given number of threads are blocked — and at that point, all the threads are released again. it's giving "everybody wait at the door until the whole squad's here, then we all walk in together." periodt. ✨

👑 CONSTRUCTOR & DESTRUCTOR DOCUMENTATION 👑

💅 SbBarrier::SbBarrier (unsigned int count) [inline]

Constructor. the SbBarrier will be set for count number of threads. so you're literally telling it how many besties need to show up before anybody gets to go. 💖

💅 SbBarrier::~SbBarrier (void ) [inline]

Destructor. cleanup era. 🧹✨

---

🔥 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 🔥

💅 int SbBarrier::enter (void ) [inline]

this method blocks the calling thread on this barrier. it returns when the given number of threads have been blocked.

and here's the tea on the return value 🍓 — 1 is returned if the caller was the last thread to enter the barrier, 0 otherwise. so basically: if you get a 1, you're the main character who closed the door behind everyone. if you get a 0, you just vibed in line with the rest of the group. both are valid. both slay. 💅
