* SECTION:threads
* @title: Threads
* @short_description: portable support for threads, mutexes, locks,
* 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, #GRecMutex and #GRWLock). 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). There are facilities
* for one-time initialization (#GOnce, g_once_init_enter()). Finally,
* there are primitives to create and manage threads (#GThread).
*
* 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.
*
* A common use for #GThreads is to move a long-running blocking operation out
* of the main thread and into a worker thread. For GLib functions, such as
* single GIO operations, this is not necessary, and complicates the code.
* Instead, the `…_async()` version of the function should be used from the main
* thread, eliminating the need for locking and synchronisation between multiple
* threads. If an operation does need to be moved to a worker thread, consider
* using g_task_run_in_thread(), or a #GThreadPool. #GThreadPool is often a
* better choice than #GThread, as it handles thread reuse and task queueing;
* #GTask uses this internally.
*
* However, if multiple blocking operations need to be performed in sequence,
* and it is not possible to use #GTask for them, moving them to a worker thread
* can clarify the code.

/**
* G_LOCK_DEFINE:

*
* The #G_LOCK_ macros provide a convenient interface to #GMutex.
* #G_LOCK_DEFINE defines a lock. It can appear in any place where
* 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 #GMutex. This means that you
* can use names of existing variables as the parameter - e.g. the name
* of the variable you intend to protect with the lock. Look at our
* give_me_next_number() example using the #G_LOCK macros:
*
* Here is an example for using the #G_LOCK convenience macros:
* |[

*

* {

/* GMutex Documentation {{{1 ------------------------------------------ */
/**
* 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:
* |[
* 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;
* }
* ]|
* 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 #GMutex can be used as a solution to this problem:
* |[
* int
* give_me_next_number (void)
* {
* static GMutex mutex;
* static int current_number = 0;
* int ret_val;
*
* g_mutex_lock (&mutex);
* ret_val = current_number = calc_next_number (current_number);
* g_mutex_unlock (&mutex);
*
* return ret_val;
* }
* ]|
* Notice that the #GMutex is not initialised to any particular value.
* Its placement in static storage ensures that it will be initialised
* to all-zeros, which is appropriate.
*
* If a #GMutex is placed in other contexts (eg: embedded in a struct)
* then it must be explicitly initialised using g_mutex_init().
*
* A #GMutex should only be accessed via g_mutex_ functions.
*/
/* GRecMutex Documentation {{{1 -------------------------------------- */
/**
* GRecMutex:
*
* The GRecMutex struct is an opaque data structure to represent a
* recursive mutex. It is similar to a #GMutex with the difference
* that it is possible to lock a GRecMutex multiple times in the same
* thread without deadlock. When doing so, care has to be taken to
* unlock the recursive mutex as often as it has been locked.
*
* If a #GRecMutex is allocated in static storage then it can be used
* without initialisation. Otherwise, you should call
* g_rec_mutex_init() on it and g_rec_mutex_clear() when done.
*
* A GRecMutex should only be accessed with the
* g_rec_mutex_ functions.
*
* Since: 2.32
*/
/* GRWLock Documentation {{{1 ---------------------------------------- */
/**
* GRWLock:
*
* The GRWLock struct is an opaque data structure to represent a
* reader-writer lock. It is similar to a #GMutex in that it allows
* multiple threads to coordinate access to a shared resource.
*
* The difference to a mutex is that a reader-writer lock discriminates
* between read-only ('reader') and full ('writer') access. While only
* one thread at a time is allowed write access (by holding the 'writer'
* lock via g_rw_lock_writer_lock()), multiple threads can gain
* simultaneous read-only access (by holding the 'reader' lock via
* g_rw_lock_reader_lock()).
*
* Here is an example for an array with access functions:
* |[
* GRWLock lock;
* GPtrArray *array;
*
* gpointer
* my_array_get (guint index)
* {
* gpointer retval = NULL;
*
* if (!array)
* return NULL;
*
* g_rw_lock_reader_lock (&lock);
* if (index < array->len)
* retval = g_ptr_array_index (array, index);
* g_rw_lock_reader_unlock (&lock);
*
* return retval;
* }
*
* void
* my_array_set (guint index, gpointer data)
* {
* g_rw_lock_writer_lock (&lock);
*
* 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;
*
* g_rw_lock_writer_unlock (&lock);
* }
* ]|
* This example shows an array which can be accessed by many readers
* (the my_array_get() function) simultaneously, whereas the writers
* (the my_array_set() function) will only be allowed one 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.
*
* If a #GRWLock is allocated in static storage then it can be used
* without initialisation. Otherwise, you should call
* g_rw_lock_init() on it and g_rw_lock_clear() when done.
*
* A GRWLock should only be accessed with the g_rw_lock_ functions.
*
* Since: 2.32
*/
/* GCond Documentation {{{1 ------------------------------------------ */
/**
* GCond:
*
* The #GCond struct is an opaque data structure that represents a
* condition. Threads can block on a #GCond if they find a certain
* condition to be false. If other threads change the state of this
* condition they signal the #GCond, and that causes the waiting
* threads to be woken up.
*
* Consider the following example of a shared variable. One or more
* threads can wait for data to be published to the variable and when
* another thread publishes the data, it can signal one of the waiting
* threads to wake up to collect the data.
*
* Here is an example for using GCond to block a thread until a condition
* is satisfied:
* |[
* gpointer current_data = NULL;
* GMutex data_mutex;
* GCond data_cond;
*
* void
* push_data (gpointer data)
* {
* g_mutex_lock (&data_mutex);
* current_data = data;
* g_cond_signal (&data_cond);
* g_mutex_unlock (&data_mutex);
* }
*
* gpointer
* pop_data (void)
* {
* gpointer data;
*
* g_mutex_lock (&data_mutex);
* while (!current_data)
* g_cond_wait (&data_cond, &data_mutex);
* data = current_data;
* current_data = NULL;
* g_mutex_unlock (&data_mutex);
*
* return data;
* }
* ]|
* Whenever a thread calls pop_data() now, it will wait until
* current_data is non-%NULL, i.e. until some other thread
* has called push_data().
*
* The example shows that use of a condition variable must always be
* paired with a mutex. Without the use of a mutex, there would be a
* race between the check of @current_data by the while loop in
* pop_data() and waiting. Specifically, another thread could set
* @current_data after the check, and signal the cond (with nobody
* waiting on it) before the first thread goes to sleep. #GCond is
* specifically useful for its ability to release the mutex and go
* to sleep atomically.
*
* It is also important to use the g_cond_wait() and g_cond_wait_until()
* functions only inside a loop which checks for the condition to be
* true. See g_cond_wait() for an explanation of why the condition may
* not be true even after it returns.
*
* If a #GCond is allocated in static storage then it can be used
* without initialisation. Otherwise, you should call g_cond_init()
* on it and g_cond_clear() when done.
*
* A #GCond should only be accessed via the g_cond_ functions.
