/**
 * SECTION:threads
 * @title: Threads
 * @short_description: thread abstraction; including threads, different
 *                     mutexes, conditions and thread private data
 * @see_also: #GThreadPool, #GAsyncQueue
 *
 * Threads act almost like processes, but unlike processes all threads
 * of one process share the same memory. This is good, as it provides
 * easy communication between the involved threads via this shared
 * memory, and it is bad, because strange things (so called
 * "Heisenbugs") might happen if the program is not carefully designed.
 * In particular, due to the concurrent nature of threads, no
 * assumptions on the order of execution of code running in different
 * threads can be made, unless order is explicitly forced by the
 * programmer through synchronization primitives.
 *
 * The aim of the thread related functions in GLib is to provide a
 * portable means for writing multi-threaded software. There are
 * primitives for mutexes to protect the access to portions of memory
 * (#GMutex, #GStaticMutex, #G_LOCK_DEFINE, #GStaticRecMutex and
 * #GStaticRWLock). There is a facility to use individual bits for
 * locks (g_bit_lock()). There are primitives for condition variables to
 * allow synchronization of threads (#GCond).  There are primitives for
 * thread-private data - data that every thread has a private instance
 * of (#GPrivate, #GStaticPrivate). There are facilities for one-time
 * initialization (#GOnce, g_once_init_enter()). Last but definitely
 * not least there are primitives to portably create and manage
 * threads (#GThread).
 *
 * The threading system is initialized with g_thread_init(), which
 * takes an optional custom thread implementation or %NULL for the
 * default implementation. If you want to call g_thread_init() with a
 * non-%NULL argument this must be done before executing any other GLib
 * functions (except g_mem_set_vtable()). This is a requirement even if
 * no threads are in fact ever created by the process.
 *
 * Calling g_thread_init() with a %NULL argument is somewhat more
 * relaxed. You may call any other glib functions in the main thread
 * before g_thread_init() as long as g_thread_init() is not called from
 * a glib callback, or with any locks held. However, many libraries
 * above glib does not support late initialization of threads, so doing
 * this should be avoided if possible.
 *
 * Please note that since version 2.24 the GObject initialization
 * function g_type_init() initializes threads (with a %NULL argument),
 * so most applications, including those using Gtk+ will run with
 * threads enabled. If you want a special thread implementation, make
 * sure you call g_thread_init() before g_type_init() is called.
 *
 * After calling g_thread_init(), GLib is completely thread safe (all
 * global data is automatically locked), but individual data structure
 * instances are not automatically locked for performance reasons. So,
 * for example you must coordinate accesses to the same #GHashTable
 * from multiple threads.  The two notable exceptions from this rule
 * are #GMainLoop and #GAsyncQueue, which <emphasis>are</emphasis>
 * threadsafe and need no further application-level locking to be
 * accessed from multiple threads.
 *
 * To help debugging problems in multithreaded applications, GLib
 * supports error-checking mutexes that will give you helpful error
 * messages on common problems. To use error-checking mutexes, define
 * the symbol #G_ERRORCHECK_MUTEXES when compiling the application.

/**

 * GLib will be multi-thread safe. If #G_THREADS_ENABLED is not
 * defined, then Glib is not, and cannot be, multi-thread safe.

/* G_LOCK Documentation {{{1 ---------------------------------------------- */

/* IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
 *
 * G_LOCK_DEFINE and friends are convenience macros defined in
 * gthread.h.  Their documentation lives here.
 */

/**
 * G_LOCK_DEFINE:
 * @name: the name of the lock.
 *
 * The %G_LOCK_* macros provide a convenient interface to #GStaticMutex
 * with the advantage that they will expand to nothing in programs
 * compiled against a thread-disabled GLib, saving code and memory
 * there. #G_LOCK_DEFINE defines a lock. It can appear anywhere
 * variable definitions may appear in programs, i.e. in the first block
 * of a function or outside of functions. The @name parameter will be
 * mangled to get the name of the #GStaticMutex. This means that you
 * can use names of existing variables as the parameter - e.g. the name
 * of the variable you intent to protect with the lock. Look at our
 * <function>give_me_next_number()</function> example using the
 * %G_LOCK_* macros:
 *
 * <example>
 *  <title>Using the %G_LOCK_* convenience macros</title>
 *  <programlisting>
 *   G_LOCK_DEFINE (current_number);
 *
 *   int
 *   give_me_next_number (void)
 *   {
 *     static int current_number = 0;
 *     int ret_val;
 *
 *     G_LOCK (current_number);
 *     ret_val = current_number = calc_next_number (current_number);
 *     G_UNLOCK (current_number);
 *
 *     return ret_val;
 *   }
 *  </programlisting>
 * </example>

/* GMutex Virtual Functions {{{2 ------------------------------------------ */

/**
 * GMutex:
 *
 * The #GMutex struct is an opaque data structure to represent a mutex
 * (mutual exclusion). It can be used to protect data against shared
 * access. Take for example the following function:
 *
 * <example>
 *  <title>A function which will not work in a threaded environment</title>
 *  <programlisting>
 *   int
 *   give_me_next_number (void)
 *   {
 *     static int current_number = 0;
 *
 *     /<!-- -->* now do a very complicated calculation to calculate the new
 *      * number, this might for example be a random number generator
 *      *<!-- -->/
 *     current_number = calc_next_number (current_number);
 *
 *     return current_number;
 *   }
 *  </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * It is easy to see that this won't work in a multi-threaded
 * application. There current_number must be protected against shared
 * access. A first naive implementation would be:
 *
 * <example>
 *  <title>The wrong way to write a thread-safe function</title>
 *  <programlisting>
 *   int
 *   give_me_next_number (void)
 *   {
 *     static int current_number = 0;
 *     int ret_val;
 *     static GMutex * mutex = NULL;
 *
 *     if (!mutex) mutex = g_mutex_new (<!-- -->);
 *
 *     g_mutex_lock (mutex);
 *     ret_val = current_number = calc_next_number (current_number);
 *     g_mutex_unlock (mutex);
 *
 *     return ret_val;
 *   }
 *  </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * This looks like it would work, but there is a race condition while
 * constructing the mutex and this code cannot work reliable. Please do
 * not use such constructs in your own programs! One working solution
 * is:
 *
 * <example>
 *  <title>A correct thread-safe function</title>
 *  <programlisting>
 *   static GMutex *give_me_next_number_mutex = NULL;
 *
 *   /<!-- -->* this function must be called before any call to
 *    * give_me_next_number(<!-- -->)
 *    *
 *    * it must be called exactly once.
 *    *<!-- -->/
 *   void
 *   init_give_me_next_number (void)
 *   {
 *     g_assert (give_me_next_number_mutex == NULL);
 *     give_me_next_number_mutex = g_mutex_new (<!-- -->);
 *   }
 *
 *   int
 *   give_me_next_number (void)
 *   {
 *     static int current_number = 0;
 *     int ret_val;
 *
 *     g_mutex_lock (give_me_next_number_mutex);

 *     g_mutex_unlock (give_me_next_number_mutex);
 *
 *     return ret_val;
 *   }
 *  </programlisting>
 * </example>
 *
 * #GStaticMutex provides a simpler and safer way of doing this.
 *
 * If you want to use a mutex, and your code should also work without
 * calling g_thread_init() first, then you cannot use a #GMutex, as
 * g_mutex_new() requires that the thread system be initialized. Use a

 *  </programlisting>

 *
 * Sometimes you would like to dynamically create a mutex. If you don't
 * want to require prior calling to g_thread_init(), because your code

 * use g_mutex_new() and thus #GMutex, as that requires a prior call to
 * g_thread_init(). In theses cases you can also use a #GStaticMutex.
 * It must be initialized with g_static_mutex_init() before using it
 * and freed with with g_static_mutex_free() when not needed anymore to
 * free up any allocated resources.
 *
 * Even though #GStaticMutex is not opaque, it should only be used with
 * the following functions, as it is defined differently on different
 * platforms.
 *
 * All of the <function>g_static_mutex_*</function> functions apart
 * from <function>g_static_mutex_get_mutex</function> can also be used

 * which does nothing but returning %TRUE.

 *
 * If @joinable is %TRUE, you can wait for this threads termination

 * when it terminates. If @bound is %TRUE, this thread will be
 * scheduled in the system scope, otherwise the implementation is free
 * to do scheduling in the process scope. The first variant is more
 * expensive resource-wise, but generally faster. On some systems (e.g.
 * Linux) all threads are bound.
 *
 * The new thread executes the function @func with the argument @data.
 * If the thread was created successfully, it is returned.
 *
 * @error can be %NULL to ignore errors, or non-%NULL to report errors.
 * The error is set, if and only if the function returns %NULL.

 *
 * This example shows an array which can be accessed by many readers
 * (the <function>my_array_get()</function> function) simultaneously,
 * whereas the writers (the <function>my_array_set()</function>
 * function) will only be allowed once at a time and only if no readers
 * currently access the array. This is because of the potentially
 * dangerous resizing of the array. Using these functions is fully
 * multi-thread safe now.
 *
 * Most of the time, writers should have precedence over readers. That
 * means, for this implementation, that as soon as a writer wants to
 * lock the data, no other reader is allowed to lock the data, whereas,
 * of course, the readers that already have locked the data are allowed
 * to finish their operation. As soon as the last reader unlocks the
 * data, the writer will lock it.
 *
 * Even though #GStaticRWLock is not opaque, it should only be used
 * with the following functions.
 *
 * All of the <function>g_static_rw_lock_*</function> functions can be
 * used even if g_thread_init() has not been called. Then they do
 * nothing, apart from <function>g_static_rw_lock_*_trylock</function>,
 * which does nothing but returning %TRUE.
 *
 * <note><para>A read-write lock has a higher overhead than a mutex. For
 * example, both g_static_rw_lock_reader_lock() and
 * g_static_rw_lock_reader_unlock() have to lock and unlock a
 * #GStaticMutex, so it takes at least twice the time to lock and unlock
 * a #GStaticRWLock that it does to lock and unlock a #GStaticMutex. So
 * only data structures that are accessed by multiple readers, and which
 * keep the lock for a considerable time justify a #GStaticRWLock. The
 * above example most probably would fare better with a
 * #GStaticMutex.</para></note>
