A useful way to think of a semaphore as used in the real-world systems is as a record of how many units of a particular resource are available, coupled with operations to adjust that record safely (i.e. to avoid race conditions) as units are required or become free, and, if necessary, wait until a unit of the resource becomes available. class Semaphore def initialize(limit = 1) @count = 0 @limit = limit @waiting = [] end # The current number of tasks that have acquired the semaphore. attr :count # The maximum number of tasks that can acquire the semaphore. attr :limit # Is the semaphore currently acquired? def empty? @count.zero? end # Whether trying to acquire this semaphore would block. def blocking? @count >= @limit end # Run an async task. Will wait until the semaphore is ready until spawning and running the task. def async(*args) parent = Task.current wait parent.async do |task| @count += 1 begin yield task, *args ensure self.release end end end # Acquire the semaphore, block if we are at the limit. # If no block is provided, you must call release manually. # @yield when the semaphore can be acquired # @return the result of the block if invoked def acquire wait @count += 1 return unless block_given? begin return yield ensure self.release end end # Release the semaphore. Must match up with a corresponding call to `acquire`. def release @count -= 1 available = @waiting.pop(@limit - @count) available.each do |fiber| fiber.resume if fiber.alive? end end private # Wait until the semaphore becomes available. def wait while blocking? @waiting << Fiber.current Task.yield end end end end
