This primitive is meant to be used to run one-time initialization. An //! example use case would be for initializing an FFI library. use std::int; use std::sync::atomics; use sync::mutex::{StaticMutex, MUTEX_INIT}; /// A type which can be used to run a one-time global initialization. This type /// is *unsafe* to use because it is built on top of the `Mutex` in this module. /// It does not know whether the currently running task is in a green or native /// context, and a blocking mutex should *not* be used under normal /// circumstances on a green task. /// /// Despite its unsafety, it is often useful to have a one-time initialization /// routine run for FFI bindings or related external functionality. This type /// can only be statically constructed with the `ONCE_INIT` value. /// /// # Example /// /// ```rust /// use std::unstable::mutex::{Once, ONCE_INIT}; /// /// static mut START: Once = ONCE_INIT; /// unsafe { /// START.doit(|| { /// // run initialization here /// }); /// } /// ``` pub struct Once { priv mutex: StaticMutex, priv cnt: atomics::AtomicInt, priv lock_cnt: atomics::AtomicInt, } /// Initialization value for static `Once` values. pub static ONCE_INIT: Once = Once { mutex: MUTEX_INIT, cnt: atomics::INIT_ATOMIC_INT, lock_cnt: atomics::INIT_ATOMIC_INT, }; impl Once { /// Perform an initialization routine once and only once. The given closure /// will be executed if this is the first time `doit` has been called, and /// otherwise the routine will *not* be invoked. /// /// This method will block the calling *os thread* if another initialization /// routine is currently running. /// /// When this function returns, it is guaranteed that some initialization /// has run and completed (it may not be the closure specified). pub fn doit(&mut self, f: ||) { // Implementation-wise, this would seem like a fairly trivial primitive. // The stickler part is where our mutexes currently require an // allocation, and usage of a `Once` should't leak this allocation. // // This means that there must be a deterministic destroyer of the mutex // contained within (because it's not needed after the initialization // has run). // // The general scheme here is to gate all future threads once // initialization has completed with a "very negative" count, and to // allow through threads to lock the mutex if they see a non negative // count. For all threads grabbing the mutex, exactly one of them should // be responsible for unlocking the mutex, and this should only be done // once everyone else is done with the mutex. // // This atomicity is achieved by swapping a very negative value into the // shared count when the initialization routine has completed. This will // read the number of threads which will at some point attempt to // acquire the mutex. This count is then squirreled away in a separate // variable, and the last person on the way out of the mutex is then // responsible for destroying the mutex. // // It is crucial that the negative value is swapped in *after* the // initialization routine has completed because otherwise new threads // calling `doit` will return immediately before the initialization has // completed. let prev = self.cnt.fetch_add(1, atomics::SeqCst); if prev < 0 { // Make sure we never overflow, we'll never have int::MIN // simultaneous calls to `doit` to make this value go back to 0 self.cnt.store(int::MIN, atomics::SeqCst); return } // If the count is negative, then someone else finished the job, // otherwise we run the job and record how many people will try to grab // this lock { let _guard = self.mutex.lock(); if self.cnt.load(atomics::SeqCst) > 0 { f(); let prev = self.cnt.swap(int::MIN, atomics::SeqCst); self.lock_cnt.store(prev, atomics::SeqCst); } } // Last one out cleans up after everyone else, no leaks! if self.lock_cnt.fetch_add(-1, atomics::SeqCst) == 1 { unsafe { self.mutex.destroy() } } } } #[cfg(test)] mod test { use super::{ONCE_INIT, Once}; use std::task; #[test] fn smoke_once() { static mut o: Once = ONCE_INIT; let mut a = 0; unsafe { o.doit(|| a += 1); } assert_eq!(a, 1); unsafe { o.doit(|| a += 1); } assert_eq!(a, 1); } #[test] fn stampede_once() { static mut o: Once = ONCE_INIT; static mut run: bool = false; let (p, c) = SharedChan::new(); for _ in range(0, 10) { let c = c.clone(); do spawn { for _ in range(0, 4) { task::deschedule() } unsafe { o.doit(|| { assert!(!run); run = true; }); assert!(run); } c.send(()); } } unsafe { o.doit(|| { assert!(!run); run = true; }); assert!(run); } for _ in range(0, 10) { p.recv(); } } }
