Detailed Description

There's currently only minimal support for POSIX threads. Most of the POSIX threads interface's functionality requires irrevocability and is probably not useful for transactional code.

There are currently two supported interface. Call pthread_self_tx() to get a reference to the thread's structure, and use pthread_equal_tx() to compare thread structure with each other.

Function Documentation

load_pthread_t_tx()

static pthread_t load_pthread_t_tx ( const pthread_t *  addr )

inlinestatic

Loads a value of type ' pthread_t ' with transactional semantics.

Parameters

addr	The source address.

Returns

The transaction-local value loaded from address 'addr'.

privatize_pthread_t_tx()

static void privatize_pthread_t_tx ( const pthread_t *  addr, unsigned long  flags  )

inlinestatic

Privatizes a value of type ' pthread_t '.

Parameters

addr	The address to privatize.
flags	Privatizes for loading and/or storing. Not setting flags discards the buffer.

pthread_equal_tx()

PICOTM_NOTHROW int pthread_equal_tx	(	pthread_t	t1,
		pthread_t	t2
	)

A transaction-safe implementation of pthread_equal().

pthread_self_tx()

PICOTM_NOTHROW pthread_t pthread_self_tx

(

void

)

A transaction-safe implementation of pthread_self().

store_pthread_t_tx()

static void store_pthread_t_tx ( pthread_t *  addr, pthread_t  value  )

inlinestatic

Stores a value of type ' pthread_t ' with transactional semantics.

Parameters

addr	The destination address.
value	The value to store at 'addr'.
