def create_event(attrib_name: MaybeSequence[Union[int, float, str]], attrib_value: MaybeSequence[Union[int, float, str]]) -> HHandle
Description
An event is a prelocked mutual exclusion that does not belong to a
thread, i.e., it can be signaled by a thread different from the locking
thread. This understanding is, e.g., close to the definition of an event in
WIN32-API or a semaphore with count 0 in POSIX threads.
create_eventcreate_eventCreateEventCreateEventcreate_event allocates and initializes the event object according
to the attributes specified in AttribNameAttribNameAttribNameattribNameattrib_name and AttribValueAttribValueAttribValueattribValueattrib_value.
AttribNameAttribNameAttribNameattribNameattrib_name specifies the attribute class and AttribValueAttribValueAttribValueattribValueattrib_value
the kind of the event. The description beneath lists all mutex kinds
supported by following classes:
- ''""""""""
empty string sets the default attributes.
- 'type'"type""type""type""type"
-
specifies what happens if a thread waits on a signal to
an event:
- 'sleep'"sleep""sleep""sleep""sleep"
simply suspends the calling thread (default).
- 'spin'"spin""spin""spin""spin"
a fast event implementation that waits busy
on a signal. This type is non recursive.
Execution Information
- Multithreading type: independent (runs in parallel even with exclusive operators).
- Multithreading scope: global (may be called from any thread).
- Processed without parallelization.
