// A simple mutex wrapper, supporting locks and read-write locks.
// You should assume the locks are *not* re-entrant.
//
// To use: you should define the following macros in your configure.ac:
// ACX_PTHREAD
// AC_RWLOCK
// The latter is defined in ../autoconf.
//
// This class is meant to be internal-only and should be wrapped by an
// internal namespace. Before you use this module, please give the
// name of your internal namespace for this module. Or, if you want
// to expose it, you'll want to move it to the Google namespace. We
// cannot put this class in global namespace because there can be some
// problems when we have multiple versions of Mutex in each shared object.
//
// NOTE: by default, we have #ifdef'ed out the TryLock() method.
// This is for two reasons:
// 1) TryLock() under Windows is a bit annoying (it requires a
// #define to be defined very early).
// 2) TryLock() is broken for NO_THREADS mode, at least in NDEBUG
// mode.
// If you need TryLock(), and either these two caveats are not a
// problem for you, or you're willing to work around them, then
// feel free to #define GMUTEX_TRYLOCK, or to remove the #ifdefs
// in the code below.
//
// CYGWIN NOTE: Cygwin support for rwlock seems to be buggy:
// http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2008-12/msg00017.html
// Because of that, we might as well use windows locks for
// cygwin. They seem to be more reliable than the cygwin pthreads layer.
//
// TRICKY IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
// This class is designed to be safe to use during
// dynamic-initialization -- that is, by global constructors that are
// run before main() starts. The issue in this case is that
// dynamic-initialization happens in an unpredictable order, and it
// could be that someone else's dynamic initializer could call a
// function that tries to acquire this mutex -- but that all happens
// before this mutex's constructor has run. (This can happen even if
// the mutex and the function that uses the mutex are in the same .cc
// file.) Basically, because Mutex does non-trivial work in its
// constructor, it's not, in the naive implementation, safe to use
// before dynamic initialization has run on it.
//
// The solution used here is to pair the actual mutex primitive with a
// bool that is set to true when the mutex is dynamically initialized.
// (Before that it's false.) Then we modify all mutex routines to
// look at the bool, and not try to lock/unlock until the bool makes
// it to true (which happens after the Mutex constructor has run.)
//
// This works because before main() starts -- particularly, during
// dynamic initialization -- there are no threads, so a) it's ok that
// the mutex operations are a no-op, since we don't need locking then
// anyway; and b) we can be quite confident our bool won't change
// state between a call to Lock() and a call to Unlock() (that would
// require a global constructor in one translation unit to call Lock()
// and another global constructor in another translation unit to call
// Unlock() later, which is pretty perverse).
//
// That said, it's tricky, and can conceivably fail; it's safest to
// avoid trying to acquire a mutex in a global constructor, if you
// can. One way it can fail is that a really smart compiler might
// initialize the bool to true at static-initialization time (too
// early) rather than at dynamic-initialization time. To discourage
// that, we set is_safe_ to true in code (not the constructor
// colon-initializer) and set it to true via a function that always
// evaluates to true, but that the compiler can't know always
// evaluates to true. This should be good enough.
//
// A related issue is code that could try to access the mutex
// after it's been destroyed in the global destructors (because
// the Mutex global destructor runs before some other global
// destructor, that tries to acquire the mutex). The way we
// deal with this is by taking a constructor arg that global
// mutexes should pass in, that causes the destructor to do no
// work. We still depend on the compiler not doing anything
// weird to a Mutex's memory after it is destroyed, but for a
// static global variable, that's pretty safe.
