5 // This file defines dynamic annotations for use with dynamic analysis
6 // tool such as valgrind, PIN, etc.
8 // Dynamic annotation is a source code annotation that affects
9 // the generated code (that is, the annotation is not a comment).
10 // Each such annotation is attached to a particular
11 // instruction and/or to a particular object (address) in the program.
13 // The annotations that should be used by users are macros in all upper-case
14 // (e.g., ANNOTATE_NEW_MEMORY).
16 // Actual implementation of these macros may differ depending on the
17 // dynamic analysis tool being used.
19 // This file supports the following dynamic analysis tools:
20 // - None (NDEBUG is defined).
21 // Macros are defined empty.
22 // - Helgrind (NDEBUG is not defined).
23 // Macros are defined as calls to non-inlinable empty functions
24 // that are intercepted by helgrind.

34 // Annotations useful when implementing condition variables such as CondVar,
35 // using conditional critical sections (Await/LockWhen) and when constructing
36 // user-defined synchronization mechanisms.
38 // The annotations ANNOTATE_HAPPENS_BEFORE() and ANNOTATE_HAPPENS_AFTER() can
39 // be used to define happens-before arcs in user-defined synchronization
40 // mechanisms: the race detector will infer an arc from the former to the
41 // latter when they share the same argument pointer.
43 // Example 1 (reference counting):
46 // ANNOTATE_HAPPENS_BEFORE(&refcount_);
47 // if (AtomicDecrementByOne(&refcount_) == 0) {
48 // ANNOTATE_HAPPENS_AFTER(&refcount_);
53 // Example 2 (message queue):
55 // void MyQueue::Put(Type *e) {
56 // MutexLock lock(&mu_);
57 // ANNOTATE_HAPPENS_BEFORE(e);
58 // PutElementIntoMyQueue(e);
61 // Type *MyQueue::Get() {
62 // MutexLock lock(&mu_);
63 // Type *e = GetElementFromMyQueue();
64 // ANNOTATE_HAPPENS_AFTER(e);
68 // Note: when possible, please use the existing reference counting and message
69 // queue implementations instead of inventing new ones.
