* 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.

|
|
|
|
