Patrick O'Lone suggests the following idea which sounds interesting to
add as an optional mode of Cache_Lite class.
(still not tested in the Cache_Lite context)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use the flags:
ignore_user_abort(true);
$fd = dio_open($szFilename, O_CREATE | O_EXCL | O_TRUNC | O_WRONLY,
0644);
if (is_resource($fd)) {
dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLKW, array('type' => F_WRLCK));
dio_write($fd, $szBuffer);
dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLK, array('type' => F_UNLCK));
dio_close($fd);
}
ignore_user_abort(false);
Only the first process will attempt to create a file. Additional
processes will see that a file already exists (at the system level), and
will fail. Another thing to note is that the file descriptor must be
opened using dio_open(), and certain features, like fgets() won't work
with it. If your just doing a raw write, dio_write() should be just
fine. The dio_read() function should be used like:
$fd = dio_open($szFilename, O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK, 0644);
if (is_resource($fd)) {
dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLKW, array('type' => F_RDLCK));
$szBuffer = dio_read($fd, filesize($szFilename));
dio_fcntl($fd, F_SETLK, array('type' => F_UNLCK));
dio_close($fd);
}
You still use locking to ensure that a write process can finish before
another attempts to read the file. We also set non-blocking mode in read
mode so that multiple readers can access the same resource at the same
time. NOTE: Direct I/O support must be compiled into PHP for these
features to work (--enable-dio).
