// This header file contains macro definitions for thread safety annotations
// that allow developers to document the locking policies of multi-threaded
// code. The annotations can also help program analysis tools to identify
// potential thread safety issues.
//
// These annotations are implemented using compiler attributes. Using the macros
// defined here instead of raw attributes allow for portability and future
// compatibility.
//
// The thread safety analysis system is documented at
// http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ThreadSafetyAnalysis.html
//
// When referring to locks in the arguments of the attributes, you should
// use variable names or more complex expressions (e.g. my_object->lock_)
// that evaluate to a concrete lock object whenever possible. If the lock
// you want to refer to is not in scope, you may use a member pointer
// (e.g. &MyClass::lock_) to refer to a lock in some (unknown) object.

// PW_GUARDED_BY()
//
// Documents if a shared field or global variable needs to be protected by a
// lock. PW_GUARDED_BY() allows the user to specify a particular lock that
// should be held when accessing the annotated variable.
//
// Although this annotation (and PW_PT_GUARDED_BY, below) cannot be applied to
// local variables, a local variable and its associated lock can often be
// combined into a small class or struct, thereby allowing the annotation.
//
// Example:
//
// class Foo {
// Mutex mu_;
// int p1_ PW_GUARDED_BY(mu_);
// ...
// };
#if PW_HAVE_ATTRIBUTE(guarded_by)
#define PW_GUARDED_BY(x) __attribute__((guarded_by(x)))
#else
#define PW_GUARDED_BY(x)
#endif
// PW_PT_GUARDED_BY()
//
// Documents if the memory location pointed to by a pointer should be guarded
// by a lock when dereferencing the pointer.
//
// Example:
// class Foo {
// Mutex mu_;
// int *p1_ PW_PT_GUARDED_BY(mu_);
// ...
// };
//
// Note that a pointer variable to a shared memory location could itself be a
// shared variable.
//
// Example:
//
// // `q_`, guarded by `mu1_`, points to a shared memory location that is
// // guarded by `mu2_`:
// int *q_ PW_GUARDED_BY(mu1_) PW_PT_GUARDED_BY(mu2_);

// PW_ACQUIRED_AFTER() / PW_ACQUIRED_BEFORE()
//
// Documents the acquisition order between locks that can be held
// simultaneously by a thread. For any two locks that need to be annotated
// to establish an acquisition order, only one of them needs the annotation.
// (i.e. You don't have to annotate both locks with both PW_ACQUIRED_AFTER
// and PW_ACQUIRED_BEFORE.)
//
// As with PW_GUARDED_BY, this is only applicable to locks that are shared
// fields or global variables.
//
// Example:
//
// Mutex m1_;
// Mutex m2_ PW_ACQUIRED_AFTER(m1_);

// PW_EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED() / PW_SHARED_LOCKS_REQUIRED()
//
// Documents a function that expects a lock to be held prior to entry.
// The lock is expected to be held both on entry to, and exit from, the
// function.
//
// An exclusive lock allows read-write access to the guarded data member(s), and
// only one thread can acquire a lock exclusively at any one time. A shared lock
// allows read-only access, and any number of threads can acquire a shared lock
// concurrently.
//
// Generally, non-const methods should be annotated with
// PW_EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED, while const methods should be annotated with
// PW_SHARED_LOCKS_REQUIRED.
//
// Example:
//
// Mutex mu1, mu2;
// int a PW_GUARDED_BY(mu1);
// int b PW_GUARDED_BY(mu2);
//
// void foo() PW_EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(mu1, mu2) { ... }
