If you want to expose it, you'll want to move // it to the Google namespace. // // NOTE: by default, we have #ifdef'ed out the TryLock() method. // This is for two reasons: // 1) TryLock() under Windows is a bit annoying (it requires a // #define to be defined very early). // 2) TryLock() is broken for NO_THREADS mode, at least in NDEBUG // mode. // If you need TryLock(), and either these two caveats are not a // problem for you, or you're willing to work around them, then // feel free to #define GMUTEX_TRYLOCK, or to remove the #ifdefs // in the code below. // // CYGWIN NOTE: Cygwin support for rwlock seems to be buggy: // http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00017.html // Because of that, we might as well use windows locks for // cygwin. They seem to be more reliable than the cygwin pthreads layer. // // TRICKY IMPLEMENTATION NOTE: // This class is designed to be safe to use during // dynamic-initialization -- that is, by global constructors that are // run before main() starts. The issue in this case is that // dynamic-initialization happens in an unpredictable order, and it // could be that someone else's dynamic initializer could call a // function that tries to acquire this mutex -- but that all happens // before this mutex's constructor has run. (This can happen even if // the mutex and the function that uses the mutex are in the same .cc // file.) Basically, because Mutex does non-trivial work in its // constructor, it's not, in the naive implementation, safe to use // before dynamic initialization has run on it. // // The solution used here is to pair the actual mutex primitive with a // bool that is set to true when the mutex is dynamically initialized. // (Before that it's false.) Then we modify all mutex routines to // look at the bool, and not try to lock/unlock until the bool makes // it to true (which happens after the Mutex constructor has run.) // // This works because before main() starts -- particularly, during // dynamic initialization -- there are no threads, so a) it's ok that // the mutex operations are a no-op, since we don't need locking then // anyway; and b) we can be quite confident our bool won't change // state between a call to Lock() and a call to Unlock() (that would // require a global constructor in one translation unit to call Lock() // and another global constructor in another translation unit to call // Unlock() later, which is pretty perverse). // // That said, it's tricky, and can conceivably fail; it's safest to // avoid trying to acquire a mutex in a global constructor, if you // can. One way it can fail is that a really smart compiler might // initialize the bool to true at static-initialization time (too // early) rather than at dynamic-initialization time. To discourage // that, we set is_safe_ to true in code (not the constructor // colon-initializer) and set it to true via a function that always // evaluates to true, but that the compiler can't know always // evaluates to true.
