The defining characteristic of a +# monitor is that its methods are executed with mutual exclusion. That is, at +# each point in time, at most one thread may be executing any of its methods. +# This mutual exclusion greatly simplifies reasoning about the implementation +# of monitors compared to reasoning about parallel code that updates a data +# structure. +# +# You can read more about the general principles on the Wikipedia page for +# Monitors[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_%28synchronization%29] +# +# == Examples +# +# === Simple object.extend +# +# require 'monitor.rb' +# +# buf = [] +# buf.extend(MonitorMixin) +# empty_cond = buf.new_cond +# +# # consumer +# Thread.start do +# loop do +# buf.synchronize do +# empty_cond.wait_while { buf.empty? } +# print buf.shift +# end +# end +# end +# +# # producer +# while line = ARGF.gets +# buf.synchronize do +# buf.push(line) +# empty_cond.signal +# end +# end +# +# The consumer thread waits for the producer thread to push a line to buf +# while <tt>buf.empty?</tt>.
