The (unsafe) Mutex from sys_common had a rather complicated interface. You were supposed to call init() manually, unless you could guarantee it was neither moved nor used reentrantly. Calling `destroy()` was also optional, although it was unclear if 1) resources might be leaked or not, and 2) if destroy() should only be called when `init()` was called. This allowed for a number of interesting (confusing?) different ways to use this Mutex, all captured in a single type. In practice, this type was only ever used in two ways: 1. As a static variable. In this case, neither init() nor destroy() are called. The variable is never moved, and it is never used reentrantly. It is only ever locked using the LockGuard, never with raw_lock. 2. As a Boxed variable. In this case, both init() and destroy() are called, it will be moved and possibly used reentrantly. No other combinations are used anywhere in `std`. This change simplifies things by splitting this Mutex type into two types matching the two use cases: StaticMutex and MovableMutex. The interface of both new types is now both safer and simpler. The first one does not call nor expose init/destroy, and the second one calls those automatically in its new() and Drop functions. Also, the locking functions of MovableMutex are no longer unsafe. |
