Detailed Description

A thread-safe request handler.

Different execution threads can synchronize using a request handler. One thread registers a request, and later waits for the request to be served. Another thread can serve the request, providing a result value.

Thread-safety: The methods registerRequest(), unregisterRequest() and waitRequest() are supposed to be called from one 'waiting' thread, and the functions serveRequest() and deleteRequest() are supposed to be called only from one 'serving' thread.

LUNCHBOX_API void lunchbox::RequestHandler::unregisterRequest ( const uint32_t requestID )

Wait a given time for the completion of a request.

The request is unregistered upon successful completion, i.e, the when the method returns true.

Parameters

requestID	the request identifier.
result	the result code of the operation.
timeout	the timeout in milliseconds to wait for the request, or `LB_TIMEOUT_INDEFINITE` to wait indefinitely.

Returns: true if the request was served, false if not.
