* This file provides several different implementation of the functions,
|
||||
* depending on the platform, the use of DEBUG_THREADS, and the way
|
||||
* global mutexes are initialized.
|
||||
* At the moment, we have 3 ways to initialize global mutexes, depending on
|
||||
*
|
||||
* + static: the mutex is assigned the value AST_MUTEX_INIT_VALUE
|
||||
* - \b static: the mutex is assigned the value AST_MUTEX_INIT_VALUE
|
||||
* this is done at compile time, and is the way used on Linux.
|
||||
* This method is not applicable to all platforms e.g. when the
|
||||
* initialization needs that some code is run.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* + on first use: the mutex is assigned a magic value at compile time,
|
||||
* - \b on first use: the mutex is assigned a magic value at compile time,
|
||||
* and ast_mutex_init() is called when this magic value is detected.
|
||||
* This technique is generally applicable, though it has a bit of
|
||||
* overhead on each access to check whether initialization is needed.
|
||||
* On the other hand, the overall cost of a mutex_lock operation
|
||||
* is such that this overhead is often negligible.
|

* + through constructors: for each mutex, a constructor function is
|
||||
* - \b through constructors: for each mutex, a constructor function is
|
||||
* defined, which then runs when the program (or the module)
|
||||
* starts. The problem with this approach is that there is a
|

* lot of code duplication (a new block of code is created for
