Detailed Description

This structure describes the interface a threading library uses for locking. It's used to tell evthread_set_lock_callbacks() how to use locking on this platform.

Member Data Documentation

◆ alloc

void*(* evthread_lock_callbacks::alloc) (unsigned locktype)

Function to allocate and initialize new lock of type 'locktype'. Returns NULL on failure.

◆ free

void(* evthread_lock_callbacks::free) (void *lock, unsigned locktype)

Funtion to release all storage held in 'lock', which was created with type 'locktype'.

◆ lock

int(* evthread_lock_callbacks::lock) (unsigned mode, void *lock)

Acquire an already-allocated lock at 'lock' with mode 'mode'. Returns 0 on success, and nonzero on failure.

◆ lock_api_version

int evthread_lock_callbacks::lock_api_version

The current version of the locking API. Set this to EVTHREAD_LOCK_API_VERSION

◆ supported_locktypes

unsigned evthread_lock_callbacks::supported_locktypes

Which kinds of locks does this version of the locking API support? A bitfield of EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_RECURSIVE and EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_READWRITE.

(Note that RECURSIVE locks are currently mandatory, and READWRITE locks are not currently used.)

◆ unlock

int(* evthread_lock_callbacks::unlock) (unsigned mode, void *lock)

Release a lock at 'lock' using mode 'mode'. Returns 0 on success, and nonzero on failure.
