2005-03-14 Ross Johnson <ross at callisto.canberra.edu.au>
- * pthread_once.c (pthread_once): Downgrade interlocked operations to simple
- memory operations where these are protected by the critical section; edit
- comments.
-
-2005-03-13 Ross Johnson <rpj at callisto.canberra.edu.au>
-
- * pthread_once.c (pthread_once): Completely redesigned; a change was
- required to the ABI (pthread_once_t_), and resulting in a version
- compatibility index increment.
-
- NOTES:
- The design (based on pseudo code contributed by Gottlob Frege) avoids
- creating a kernel object if there is no contention. See URL for details:-
- http://sources.redhat.com/ml/pthreads-win32/2005/msg00029.html
- This uses late initialisation similar to the technique already used for
- pthreads-win32 mutexes and semaphores (from Alexander Terekhov).
-
- The subsequent cancelation cleanup additions (by rpj) could not be implemented
- without sacrificing some of the efficiency in Gottlob's design. In particular,
- although each once_control uses it's own event to block on, a global CS is
- required to manage it - since the event must be either re-usable or
- re-creatable under cancelation. This is not needed in the non-cancelable
- design because it is able to mark the event as closed (forever).
-
- When uncontested, a CS operation is equivalent to an Interlocked operation
- in speed. So, in the final design with cancelability, an uncontested
- once_control operation involves a minimum of five interlocked operations
- (including the LeaveCS operation).
-
- ALTERNATIVES:
- An alternative design from Alexander Terekhov proposed using a named mutex,
- as sketched below:-
-
- if (!once_control) { // May be in TLS
- named_mutex::guard guard(&once_control2);
- if (!once_control2) {
- <init>
- once_control2 = true;
- }
- once_control = true;
- }
-
- A more detailed description of this can be found here:-
- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/boost/message/15442
-
- [Although the definition of a suitable PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT precludes use of the
- TLS located flag, this is not critical.]
+ * CVS (snapshot-2005-03-08-fixes): Created branch for
+ back-porting fixes to snapshot 2005-03-08.
- There are three primary concerns though:-
- 1) The [named] mutex is 'created' even in the uncontended case.
- 2) A system wide unique name must be generated.
- 3) Win32 mutexes are VERY slow even in the uncontended case. An uncontested
- Win32 mutex lock operation can be 50 (or more) times slower than an
- uncontested EnterCS operation.
+ * pthread_once.c (pthread_once): Add cancellability to the
+ init_routine; remove cancellability elsewhere (by disabling
+ cancellability around pthread_cond_wait in particular);
+ the meaning of the 'done' flag is changed but the ABI doesn't
+ change as a result.
- Ultimately, the named mutex trick is making use of the global locks maintained
- by the kernel.
+ * pthread.h (PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT): Change the 'done' flag value
+ representation (does not change the value - still zero (0)).
- * pthread.h (pthread_once_t_): One flag and an event HANDLE added.
- (PTHREAD_ONCE_INIT): Additional values included.
+ * implement.h (PTW32_ONCE_CLEAR): Defined.
+ (PTW32_ONCE_DONE): Defined.
+ (PTW32_ONCE_CANCELLED): Defined.
