/** A platform specific macro needed to make double-checked locking work.
See
<http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/DoubleCheckedLocking.html>
for a description of double-checked locking, why it is broken, and how it
can be fixed. On platforms where it is necessary, this macro will expand
to some memory barrier instruction. On many platforms, double-checked
locking works as it is, though, so on those platforms this macro will be
empty. This is a macro instead of a (C++ inline) function to allow for
maximum performance in both C and C++.
If possible, use the rtl_Instance template instead of explicitly spelling
out the double-checked locking pattern. There are few cases where you
will have to spell it out explicitly (e.g., the logic of a certain
instance of the pattern is too complex to be mapped to the template, or
some compiler refuses to compile a template instantiation due to internal
compiler errors), though, and you should always call this macro at the
right places then:
@code{.cpp}
static T * pInstance = 0;
T * p = pInstance;
if (!p)
{
Guard aGuard(aMutex);
p = pInstance;
if (!p)
{
p = ...;
OSL_DOUBLE_CHECKED_LOCKING_MEMORY_BARRIER();
pInstance = p;
}
}
else
OSL_DOUBLE_CHECKED_LOCKING_MEMORY_BARRIER();
return p;
@endcode
One extra advantage of this macro is that it makes it easier to find all
places where double-checked locking is used.
