/* This file contains primitives for creating and controlling threads.

   Thread data type: gl_thread_t.

   Creating a thread:
       thread = gl_thread_create (func, arg);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_create (&thread, func, arg);
       extern int glthread_create (gl_thread_t *result,
                                   void *(*func) (void *), void *arg);

   Querying and changing the signal mask of a thread (not supported on all
   platforms):
       gl_thread_sigmask (how, newmask, oldmask);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_sigmask (how, newmask, oldmask);
       extern int glthread_sigmask (int how, const sigset_t *newmask, sigset_t *oldmask);

   Waiting for termination of another thread:
       gl_thread_join (thread, &return_value);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_join (thread, &return_value);
       extern int glthread_join (gl_thread_t thread, void **return_value_ptr);

   Getting a reference to the current thread:
       current = gl_thread_self ();
       extern gl_thread_t gl_thread_self (void);

   Terminating the current thread:
       gl_thread_exit (return_value);
       extern void gl_thread_exit (void *return_value) __attribute__ ((noreturn));

   Requesting custom code to be executed at fork() time(not supported on all
   platforms):
       gl_thread_atfork (prepare_func, parent_func, child_func);
   Or with control of error handling:
       err = glthread_atfork (prepare_func, parent_func, child_func);
       extern int glthread_atfork (void (*prepare_func) (void),
                                   void (*parent_func) (void),
                                   void (*child_func) (void));
   Note that even on platforms where this is supported, use of fork() and
   threads together is problematic, see
     <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-08/msg00062.html>

   that libpthread would not be loaded after libintl; i.e. if libintl is
   loaded first, by an executable that does not depend on libpthread, and
   then a module is dynamically loaded that depends on libpthread, libintl
   will not be multithread-safe.  */

/* The way to test at runtime whether libpthread is present is to test
   whether a function pointer's value, such as &pthread_mutex_init, is
   non-NULL.  However, some versions of GCC have a bug through which, in
   PIC mode, &foo != NULL always evaluates to true if there is a direct
   call to foo(...) in the same function.  To avoid this, we test the
   address of a function in libpthread that we don't use.  */
