* 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.

+ *
+ * The GLib threading system used to be initialized with g_thread_init().
+ * This is no longer necessary. Since version 2.32, the GLib threading
+ * system is automatically initialized at the start of your program,
+ * and all thread-creation functions and synchronization primitives
+ * are available right away.
+ *
+ * Note that it is not safe to assume that your program has no threads
+ * even if you don't call g_thread_new() yourself. GLib and GIO can
+ * and will create threads for their own purposes in some cases, such
+ * as when using g_unix_signal_source_new() or when using GDBus.
+ *
+ * Originally, UNIX did not have threads, and therefore some traditional
+ * UNIX APIs are problematic in threaded programs. Some notable examples
+ * are
+ *
+ * - C library functions that return data in statically allocated
+ * buffers, such as strtok() or strerror(). For many of these,
+ * there are thread-safe variants with a _r suffix, or you can
+ * look at corresponding GLib APIs (like g_strsplit() or g_strerror()).
+ *
+ * - The functions setenv() and unsetenv() manipulate the process
+ * environment in a not thread-safe way, and may interfere with getenv()
+ * calls in other threads. Note that getenv() calls may be hidden behind
+ * other APIs. For example, GNU gettext() calls getenv() under the
+ * covers. In general, it is best to treat the environment as readonly.
+ * If you absolutely have to modify the environment, do it early in
+ * main(), when no other threads are around yet.
+ *
+ * - The setlocale() function changes the locale for the entire process,
+ * affecting all threads. Temporary changes to the locale are often made
+ * to change the behavior of string scanning or formatting functions
+ * like scanf() or printf(). GLib offers a number of string APIs
+ * (like g_ascii_formatd() or g_ascii_strtod()) that can often be
+ * used as an alternative. Or you can use the uselocale() function
+ * to change the locale only for the current thread.
+ *
+ * - The fork() function only takes the calling thread into the child's
+ * copy of the process image. If other threads were executing in critical
+ * sections they could have left mutexes locked which could easily
+ * cause deadlocks in the new child. For this reason, you should
+ * call exit() or exec() as soon as possible in the child and only
+ * make signal-safe library calls before that.
+ *
+ * - The daemon() function uses fork() in a way contrary to what is
+ * described above. It should not be used with GLib programs.
+ *
+ * GLib itself is internally completely thread-safe (all global data is
+ * automatically locked), but individual data structure instances are
+ * not automatically locked for performance reasons. 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 are thread-safe and need no further
+ * application-level locking to be accessed from multiple threads.
+ * Most refcounting functions such as g_object_ref() are also thread-safe.

/**
- * GStaticRWLock:
- *
- * The #GStaticRWLock struct represents a read-write lock. A read-write
- * lock can be used for protecting data that some portions of code only
- * read from, while others also write. In such situations it is
- * desirable that several readers can read at once, whereas of course
- * only one writer may write at a time. Take a look at the following
- * example:
- *
- * <example>
- * <title>An array with access functions</title>
- * <programlisting>
- * GStaticRWLock rwlock = G_STATIC_RW_LOCK_INIT;
- * GPtrArray *array;

- * {
- * gpointer retval = NULL;
- *
- * if (!array)
- * return NULL;
- *
- * g_static_rw_lock_reader_lock (&rwlock);
- * if (index < array->len)
- * retval = g_ptr_array_index (array, index);
- * g_static_rw_lock_reader_unlock (&rwlock);
- *
- * return retval;
- * }
- *
- * void
- * my_array_set (guint index, gpointer data)
- * {
- * g_static_rw_lock_writer_lock (&rwlock);
- *
- * if (!array)
- * array = g_ptr_array_new (<!-- -->);
- *
- * if (index >= array->len)
- * g_ptr_array_set_size (array, index+1);
- * g_ptr_array_index (array, index) = data;
+ * Determine the approximate number of threads that the system will
+ * schedule simultaneously for this process. This is intended to be
+ * used as a parameter to g_thread_pool_new() for CPU bound tasks and
+ * similar cases.
*
- * g_static_rw_lock_writer_unlock (&rwlock);
- * }
- * </programlisting>
- * </example>
+ * Returns: Number of schedulable threads, always greater than 0
*
- * 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>
