NAME ck_epoch_synchronize -- block until a grace period has been detected LIBRARY Concurrency Kit (libck, -lck) SYNOPSIS #include <ck_epoch.h> void ck_epoch_synchronize(ck_epoch_record_t *record); DESCRIPTION The ck_epoch_synchronize(3) function will block the caller until a grace period has been detected, according to the semantics of epoch reclamation. It is not safe to call this function on a record that is in an active section. Any objects requiring safe memory reclamation which are logically deleted are safe for physical deletion following a call to ck_epoch_synchronize(3). If you require that all callbacks be dispatched, then it is suggested that you use ck_epoch_barrier(3) in- stead or follow a call of ck_epoch_synchronize(3) with ck_epoch_reclaim(3). EXAMPLE #include <ck_epoch.h> #include <ck_stack.h> #include <stdlib.h> /* * epoch was previously initialized with ck_epoch_init. * stack was previously initialized with ck_stack_init. */ ck_epoch_t *epoch; ck_stack_t *stack; void function(void) { ck_epoch_record_t *record; ck_stack_entry_t *s; record = malloc(sizeof *record); ck_epoch_register(&epoch, record, NULL); /* * We are using an epoch section here to guarantee no * nodes in the stack are deleted while we are dereferencing * them. This is needed here because there are multiple writers. * If there was only one thread popping from the this stack, * then there is no need to ck_epoch_begin/ck_epoch_end. */ ck_epoch_begin(record); /* Logically delete an object. */ s = ck_stack_pop_upmc(stack); ck_epoch_end(record); /* * Wait until no threads could possibly have a reference to the * object we just popped (assume all threads are simply executing * ck_stack_pop_upmc). */ ck_epoch_synchronize(record); /* It is now safe to physically delete the object. */ free(s); return; } RETURN VALUES This function has no return value. ERRORS The object pointed to by .Fa record must have been previously regis- tered via ck_epoch_register(3).
