33 // A simple mutex wrapper, supporting locks and read-write locks.
34 // You should assume the locks are *not* re-entrant.
36 // To use: you should define the following macros in your configure.ac:
39 // The latter is defined in ../autoconf.
41 // This class is meant to be internal-only and should be wrapped by an
42 // internal namespace. Before you use this module, please give the
43 // name of your internal namespace for this module. Or, if you want
44 // to expose it, you'll want to move it to the Google namespace. We
45 // cannot put this class in global namespace because there can be some
46 // problems when we have multiple versions of Mutex in each shared object.
48 // NOTE: TryLock() is broken for NO_THREADS mode, at least in NDEBUG
51 // CYGWIN NOTE: Cygwin support for rwlock seems to be buggy:
52 // http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00017.html
53 // Because of that, we might as well use windows locks for
54 // cygwin. They seem to be more reliable than the cygwin pthreads layer.
56 // TRICKY IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
57 // This class is designed to be safe to use during
58 // dynamic-initialization -- that is, by global constructors that are
59 // run before main() starts. The issue in this case is that
60 // dynamic-initialization happens in an unpredictable order, and it
61 // could be that someone else's dynamic initializer could call a
62 // function that tries to acquire this mutex -- but that all happens
63 // before this mutex's constructor has run. (This can happen even if
64 // the mutex and the function that uses the mutex are in the same .cc
65 // file.) Basically, because Mutex does non-trivial work in its
66 // constructor, it's not, in the naive implementation, safe to use
67 // before dynamic initialization has run on it.
69 // The solution used here is to pair the actual mutex primitive with a
70 // bool that is set to true when the mutex is dynamically initialized.
71 // (Before that it's false.) Then we modify all mutex routines to
72 // look at the bool, and not try to lock/unlock until the bool makes
73 // it to true (which happens after the Mutex constructor has run.)
75 // This works because before main() starts -- particularly, during
76 // dynamic initialization -- there are no threads, so a) it's ok that
77 // the mutex operations are a no-op, since we don't need locking then
78 // anyway; and b) we can be quite confident our bool won't change
79 // state between a call to Lock() and a call to Unlock() (that would
80 // require a global constructor in one translation unit to call Lock()
81 // and another global constructor in another translation unit to call
82 // Unlock() later, which is pretty perverse).
84 // That said, it's tricky, and can conceivably fail; it's safest to
85 // avoid trying to acquire a mutex in a global constructor, if you
86 // can. One way it can fail is that a really smart compiler might
87 // initialize the bool to true at static-initialization time (too
88 // early) rather than at dynamic-initialization time. To discourage
89 // that, we set is_safe_ to true in code (not the constructor
90 // colon-initializer) and set it to true via a function that always
91 // evaluates to true, but that the compiler can't know always
92 // evaluates to true. This should be good enough.
94 // A related issue is code that could try to access the mutex
95 // after it's been destroyed in the global destructors (because
96 // the Mutex global destructor runs before some other global
97 // destructor, that tries to acquire the mutex). The way we
98 // deal with this is by taking a constructor arg that global
99 // mutexes should pass in, that causes the destructor to do no
100 // work. We still depend on the compiler not doing anything
101 // weird to a Mutex's memory after it is destroyed, but for a
102 // static global variable, that's pretty safe.
