This module provides spin locks with a similar API. It can be used like this, both in regular multithreaded code and in signal handlers: sigset_t saved_mask; asyncsafe_spin_lock (&lock, &mask, &saved_mask); do_something_contentious (); asyncsafe_spin_unlock (&lock, &saved_mask); The mask you specify here is the set of signals whose handlers might want to take the same lock. asyncsafe_spin_lock/unlock use pthread_sigmask, to ensure that while a thread is executing such code, no signal handler will start such code for the same lock *in the same thread* (because if this happened, the signal handler would hang!). */ #include #if defined _WIN32 && ! defined __CYGWIN__ # include "windows-spin.h" typedef glwthread_spinlock_t asyncsafe_spinlock_t; # define ASYNCSAFE_SPIN_INIT GLWTHREAD_SPIN_INIT #else typedef unsigned int asyncsafe_spinlock_t; # define ASYNCSAFE_SPIN_INIT 0 #endif #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { #endif extern void asyncsafe_spin_init (asyncsafe_spinlock_t *lock); extern void asyncsafe_spin_lock (asyncsafe_spinlock_t *lock, const sigset_t *mask, sigset_t *saved_mask); extern void asyncsafe_spin_unlock (asyncsafe_spinlock_t *lock, const sigset_t *saved_mask); extern void asyncsafe_spin_destroy (asyncsafe_spinlock_t *lock); #ifdef __cplusplus } #endif #endif /* _ASYNCSAFE_SPIN_H */
