Detailed Description

Implement the tor_mutex API using pthread_mutex_t.

Definition in file compat_mutex_pthreads.c.

Function Documentation

◆ tor_locking_init()

void tor_locking_init ( void )

Initialize the locking module, if it is not already initialized.

Definition at line 29 of file compat_mutex_pthreads.c.

Referenced by tor_mutex_init_nonrecursive().

◆ tor_mutex_acquire()

void tor_mutex_acquire ( tor_mutex_t * m )

Wait until m is free, then acquire it.

Definition at line 71 of file compat_mutex_pthreads.c.

◆ tor_mutex_init()

void tor_mutex_init ( tor_mutex_t * mutex )

Initialize mutex so it can be locked. Every mutex must be set up with tor_mutex_init() or tor_mutex_new(); not both.

Definition at line 41 of file compat_mutex_pthreads.c.

◆ tor_mutex_init_nonrecursive()

void tor_mutex_init_nonrecursive ( tor_mutex_t * mutex )

As tor_mutex_init, but initialize a mutex suitable that may be non-recursive, if the OS supports that.

Definition at line 56 of file compat_mutex_pthreads.c.

◆ tor_mutex_release()

void tor_mutex_release ( tor_mutex_t * m )

Release the lock m so another thread can have it.

Definition at line 84 of file compat_mutex_pthreads.c.

◆ tor_mutex_uninit()

void tor_mutex_uninit ( tor_mutex_t * m )

Clean up the mutex m so that it no longer uses any system resources. Does not free m. This function must only be called on mutexes from tor_mutex_init().

Destroying a locked mutex is undefined behaviour. Global mutexes may be locked when they are passed to this function, because multiple threads can still access them. So we can either:

destroy on shutdown, and re-initialise when tor re-initialises, or
skip destroying and re-initialisation, using a sentinel variable. See #31735 for details.

Definition at line 107 of file compat_mutex_pthreads.c.

Variable Documentation

◆ attr_initialized

int attr_initialized = 0

static

True iff attr_recursive has been initialized.
