go-lock is a Golang library implementing an effcient read-write lock with the following built-in mechanism:
- Mutex with timeout mechanism
- Trylock
- No-starve read-write solution
Native sync/Mutex
and sync/RWMutex
are very powerful and reliable. However, it became a disaster if the lock was not released as expected. Or, someone was holding the lock too long at the peak time leading whole system blocked. Dealing with those cases, go-lock implements TryLock
, TryLockWithTimeout
and TryLockWithContext
function in addition to Lock and Unlock. It provides flexibility to control the resources.
go get github.com/viney-shih/go-lock
package main
import (
"fmt"
"sync/atomic"
"time"
lock "github.com/viney-shih/go-lock"
)
func main() {
// set RWMutex with CAS mechanism (CASMutex).
var rwMut lock.RWMutex = lock.NewCASMutex()
// set default value
count := int32(0)
// block here
rwMut.Lock()
go func() {
time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond)
fmt.Println("Now is", atomic.AddInt32(&count, 1)) // Now is 1
rwMut.Unlock()
}()
// waiting for previous goroutine releasing the lock, and locking it again
rwMut.Lock()
fmt.Println("Now is", atomic.AddInt32(&count, 2)) // Now is 3
// TryLock without blocking
// Return false, because the lock is not released.
fmt.Println("Return", rwMut.TryLock())
// RTryLockWithTimeout without blocking
// Return false, because the lock is not released.
fmt.Println("Return", rwMut.RTryLockWithTimeout(50*time.Millisecond))
// TryLockWithContext without blocking
ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.TODO(), 50*time.Millisecond)
defer cancel()
// Return false, because the lock is not released.
fmt.Println("Return", rwMut.TryLockWithContext(ctx))
// release the lock in the end.
rwMut.Unlock()
// Output:
// Now is 1
// Now is 3
// Return false
// Return false
// Return false
