一 何为信号量？

  简单来说就是控制访问资源的数量，比如系统有两个资源可以被利用，同时有三个线程要访问，只能允许两个线程访问，第三个应当等待资源被释放后再访问。

注意：再GCD中，只有调度的线程在信号量不足的时候才会进入内核态进行线程阻塞

二 如何使用信号量

三个主要函数

创建一个信号量

 func dispatch_semaphore_create(_ value: Int) ->  dispatch_semaphore_t !

其中value为信号量的初值，如果小于0则会返回NULL

提高信号量

 func dispatch_semaphore_signal(_ dsema: dispatch_semaphore_t!) -> Int

等待降低信号量

 func dispatch_semaphore_wait(_ dsema: dispatch_semaphore_t!,
                            _ timeout: dispatch_time_t) -> Int

注意，正常的使用顺序是先降低然后再提高，这两个函数通常成对使用。

 import UIKit

 class ViewController: UIViewController {
     var semaphore:dispatch_semaphore_t;
     required init(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
         self.semaphore = dispatch_semaphore_create(1)
         super.init(coder: aDecoder)
     }
     override func viewDidLoad() {
         super.viewDidLoad()
         dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,0), {() -> Void  in
              self.task_first()
         })
         dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,0), { () -> Void in
             self.task_second()
         })
         dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT,0), { () -> Void in
             self.task_third()
         })
         // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
     }
     func task_first(){
         dispatch_semaphore_wait(self.semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER)
         NSLog("%@","First task starting")
         sleep(1)
         NSLog("%@", "First task is done")
         dispatch_semaphore_signal(self.semaphore)
     }
     func task_second(){
         dispatch_semaphore_wait(self.semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER)
         NSLog("%@","Second task starting")
         sleep(1)
         NSLog("%@", "Second task is done")
         dispatch_semaphore_signal(self.semaphore)
     }
     func task_third(){
         dispatch_semaphore_wait(self.semaphore, DISPATCH_TIME_FOREVER)
         NSLog("%@","Thrid task starting")
         sleep(1)
         NSLog("%@", "Thrid task is done")
         dispatch_semaphore_signal(self.semaphore)
     }
     override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
         super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
         // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
     }


 }

这段代码模拟提交三个任务，提交到全局队列（并行队列）
