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