I am currently working on a project to design Airport with OOP. I am using c++. I have a main Airport object in my program which has RequestLanding() function which assigns the runway number on which plane can land. This function returns one of the two enums- Hold or Proceed to indicate whether plane should land or not.

From the outside there are many airplane objects which makes the landing request. I am using for loop for the total number of airplane objects. I am using OpenMp for parallel loop. I wanted to make a thread of openmp sleep for 3 seconds when the RequestLanding() function returns the state Hold and then try again.

Is there a way to do this ? Can someone provide a simple example. Thanks in advance.

I would solve this problem NOT with some waiting function, but a semaphore solution. Semaphore are resources which allowing some designated access and so fitting best for your probelm.

For learning on semaphores is a short explanation from Microsoft and also some deeper insights.
