Cómo: Usar SpinWait para implementar una operación de espera de dos fases

En el ejemplo siguiente se muestra cómo utilizar un objeto System.Threading.SpinWait para implementar una operación de espera de dos fases. En la primera fase, el objeto de sincronización, Latch, gira durante unos ciclos mientras comprueba si el bloqueo está disponible. En la segunda fase, si el bloqueo está disponible, el método Wait realiza la devolución sin usar System.Threading.ManualResetEvent para la espera; en caso contrario, Wait realiza la espera.

Ejemplo

En este ejemplo se muestra una implementación muy básica de un elemento primitivo de sincronización de bloqueo temporal. Puede usar esta estructura de datos cuando se prevé que los tiempos de espera sean muy cortos. Este ejemplo tiene como único fin realizar una demostración. Si necesita una funcionalidad de tipo de bloqueo temporal en el programa, considere la posibilidad de usar System.Threading.ManualResetEventSlim.

   private ManualResetEvent m_ev = new ManualResetEvent(false);

   // For fast logging with minimal impact on latch behavior.
   // Spin counts greater than 20 might be encountered depending on machine config.

El bloqueo temporal usa el objeto SpinWait para girar in situ hasta que la siguiente llamada a SpinOnce da lugar a que SpinWait produzca el intervalo de tiempo del subproceso. En ese momento, el bloqueo temporal produce su propio cambio de contexto mediante una llamada a WaitOne en ManualResetEvent y pasa el resto del valor de tiempo de espera.

La salida del registro muestra la frecuencia con que el bloqueo temporal pudo aumentar el rendimiento mediante la adquisición del bloqueo sin usar ManualResetEvent.
