Struct

GLibStaticRecMutex

Description

struct GStaticRecMutex {
  /* No available fields */
}

A GStaticRecMutex works like a GStaticMutex, but it can be locked multiple times by one thread. If you enter it n times, you have to unlock it n times again to let other threads lock it. An exception is the function g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full(): that allows you to unlock a GStaticRecMutex completely returning the depth, (i.e. the number of times this mutex was locked). The depth can later be used to restore the state of the GStaticRecMutex by calling g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full(). In GLib 2.32, GStaticRecMutex has been deprecated in favor of GRecMutex.

Even though GStaticRecMutex is not opaque, it should only be used with the following functions.

All of the g_static_rec_mutex_* functions can be used even if g_thread_init() has not been called. Then they do nothing, apart from g_static_rec_mutex_trylock(), which does nothing but returning TRUE.

Instance methods

g_static_rec_mutex_free

Releases all resources allocated to a GStaticRecMutex.

deprecated: 2.32 

g_static_rec_mutex_init

A GStaticRecMutex must be initialized with this function before it can be used. Alternatively you can initialize it with G_STATIC_REC_MUTEX_INIT.

deprecated: 2.32 

g_static_rec_mutex_lock

Locks mutex. If mutex is already locked by another thread, the current thread will block until mutex is unlocked by the other thread. If mutex is already locked by the calling thread, this functions increases the depth of mutex and returns immediately.

deprecated: 2.32 

g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full

Works like calling g_static_rec_mutex_lock() for mutex depth times.

deprecated: 2.32 

g_static_rec_mutex_trylock

Tries to lock mutex. If mutex is already locked by another thread, it immediately returns FALSE. Otherwise it locks mutex and returns TRUE. If mutex is already locked by the calling thread, this functions increases the depth of mutex and immediately returns TRUE.

deprecated: 2.32 

g_static_rec_mutex_unlock

Unlocks mutex. Another thread will be allowed to lock mutex only when it has been unlocked as many times as it had been locked before. If mutex is completely unlocked and another thread is blocked in a g_static_rec_mutex_lock() call for mutex, it will be woken and can lock mutex itself.

deprecated: 2.32 

g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full

Completely unlocks mutex. If another thread is blocked in a g_static_rec_mutex_lock() call for mutex, it will be woken and can lock mutex itself. This function returns the number of times that mutex has been locked by the current thread. To restore the state before the call to g_static_rec_mutex_unlock_full() you can call g_static_rec_mutex_lock_full() with the depth returned by this function.
