/* FUNCTION <<__malloc_lock>>, <<__malloc_unlock>>---lock malloc pool INDEX __malloc_lock INDEX __malloc_unlock ANSI_SYNOPSIS #include <malloc.h> void __malloc_lock (struct _reent *<[reent]>); void __malloc_unlock (struct _reent *<[reent]>); TRAD_SYNOPSIS void __malloc_lock(<[reent]>) struct _reent *<[reent]>; void __malloc_unlock(<[reent]>) struct _reent *<[reent]>; DESCRIPTION The <<malloc>> family of routines call these functions when they need to lock the memory pool. The version of these routines supplied in the library use the lock API defined in sys/lock.h. If multiple threads of execution can call <<malloc>>, or if <<malloc>> can be called reentrantly, then you need to define your own versions of these functions in order to safely lock the memory pool during a call. If you do not, the memory pool may become corrupted. A call to <<malloc>> may call <<__malloc_lock>> recursively; that is, the sequence of calls may go <<__malloc_lock>>, <<__malloc_lock>>, <<__malloc_unlock>>, <<__malloc_unlock>>. Any implementation of these routines must be careful to avoid causing a thread to wait for a lock that it already holds. */ #include <malloc.h> #include <sys/lock.h> __LOCK_INIT_RECURSIVE(static, __malloc_lock_object); void __malloc_lock (ptr) struct _reent *ptr; { __lock_acquire_recursive (__malloc_lock_object); } void __malloc_unlock (ptr) struct _reent *ptr; { __lock_release_recursive (__malloc_lock_object); }
