Set to NULL in PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER. + The pthread_mutex_*() routines will try to optimise performance + by choosing either mutexes or critical sections as the basis + for pthread mutexes for each indevidual mutex. + (pthread_mutexattr_t_): Add 'forcecs' element. + Some applications may choose to force use of critical sections + if they know that:- + the mutex is PROCESS_PRIVATE and, + either the OS supports TryEnterCriticalSection() or + pthread_mutex_trylock() will never be called on the mutex. + This attribute will be setable via a non-portable routine. + + Note: We don't yet support PROCESS_SHARED mutexes, so the + implementation as it stands will default to Win32 mutexes only if + the OS doesn't support TryEnterCriticalSection. On Win9x, and early + versions of NT 'forcecs' will need to be set in order to get + critical section based mutexes. + +Sun Jan 17 12:01:26 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au> + + * pthread.h (PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER): Init new 'staticinit' + value to '1' and existing 'valid' value to '1'. + + * global.c (_pthread_mutex_test_init_lock): Add. + + * implement.h (_pthread_mutex_test_init_lock.): Add extern. + + * private.c (_pthread_processInitialize): Init critical section for + global lock used by _mutex_check_need_init(). + (_pthread_processTerminate): Ditto (:s/Init/Destroy/). + + * dll.c (dllMain): Move call to FreeLibrary() so that it is only + called once when the process detaches. + + * mutex.c (_mutex_check_need_init): New static function to test + and init PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER mutexes. Provides serialised + access to the internal state of the uninitialised static mutex. + Called from pthread_mutex_trylock() and pthread_mutex_lock() which + do a quick unguarded test to check if _mutex_check_need_init() + needs to be called. This is safe as the test is conservative + and is repeated inside the guarded section of + _mutex_check_need_init(). Thus in all calls except the first + calls to lock static mutexes, the additional overhead to lock any + mutex is a single memory fetch and test for zero. + + * pthread.h (pthread_mutex_t_): Add 'staticinit' member. Mutexes + initialised by PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER aren't really initialised + until the first attempt to lock it. Using the 'valid' + flag (which flags the mutex as destroyed or not) to record this + information would be messy. It is possible for a statically + initialised mutex such as this to be destroyed before ever being + used. + + * mutex.c (pthread_mutex_trylock): Call _mutex_check_need_init() + to test/init PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER mutexes. + (pthread_mutex_lock): Ditto. + (pthread_mutex_unlock): Add check to ensure we don't try to unlock + an unitialised static mutex. + (pthread_mutex_destroy): Add check to ensure we don't try to delete + a critical section that we never created. Allows us to destroy + a static mutex that has never been locked (and hence initialised). + (pthread_mutex_init): Set 'staticinit' flag to 0 for the new mutex. + Sun Jan 17 12:01:26 1999 Ross Johnson <rpj@ixobrychus.canberra.edu.au> * private.c (_pthread_sem_timedwait): Move from semaphore.c. |
