486 * @brief dbus_threads_init() and dbus_threads_init_default()
488 * Functions and macros related to threads and thread locks.
490 * If threads are initialized, the D-Bus library has locks on all
491 * global data structures. In addition, each #DBusConnection has a
492 * lock, so only one thread at a time can touch the connection. (See
493 * @ref DBusConnection for more on connection locking.)
495 * Most other objects, however, do not have locks - they can only be
496 * used from a single thread at a time, unless you lock them yourself.
497 * For example, a #DBusMessage can't be modified from two threads
505 * Initializes threads. If this function is not called, the D-Bus
506 * library will not lock any data structures. If it is called, D-Bus
507 * will do locking, at some cost in efficiency. Note that this
508 * function must be called BEFORE the second thread is started.
510 * Almost always, you should use dbus_threads_init_default() instead.
511 * The raw dbus_threads_init() is only useful if you require a
512 * particular thread implementation for some reason.
514 * A possible reason to use dbus_threads_init() rather than
515 * dbus_threads_init_default() is to insert debugging checks or print
518 * dbus_threads_init() may be called more than once. The first one
519 * wins and subsequent calls are ignored. (Unless you use
520 * dbus_shutdown() to reset libdbus, which will let you re-init
523 * Either recursive or nonrecursive mutex functions must be specified,
524 * but not both. New code should provide only the recursive functions
525 * - specifying the nonrecursive ones is deprecated.
527 * Because this function effectively sets global state, all code
528 * running in a given application must agree on the thread
529 * implementation. Most code won't care which thread implementation is
530 * used, so there's no problem. However, usually libraries should not
531 * call dbus_threads_init() or dbus_threads_init_default(), instead
532 * leaving this policy choice to applications.
534 * The exception is for application frameworks (GLib, Qt, etc.) and
535 * D-Bus bindings based on application frameworks. These frameworks
536 * define a cross-platform thread abstraction and can assume
537 * applications using the framework are OK with using that thread
540 * However, even these app frameworks may find it easier to simply call
541 * dbus_threads_init_default(), and there's no reason they shouldn't.
