36*cdf0e10cSrcweir 
37*cdf0e10cSrcweir     See
38*cdf0e10cSrcweir     <http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/DoubleCheckedLocking.html>
39*cdf0e10cSrcweir     for a description of double-checked locking, why it is broken, and how it
40*cdf0e10cSrcweir     can be fixed.  On platforms where it is necessary, this macro will expand
41*cdf0e10cSrcweir     to some memory barrier instruction.  On many platforms, double-checked
42*cdf0e10cSrcweir     locking works as it is, though, so on those platforms this macro will be
43*cdf0e10cSrcweir     empty.  This is a macro instead of a (C++ inline) function to allow for
44*cdf0e10cSrcweir     maximum performance in both C and C++.
45*cdf0e10cSrcweir 
46*cdf0e10cSrcweir     If possible, use the rtl_Instance template instead of explicitly spelling
47*cdf0e10cSrcweir     out the double-checked locking pattern.  There are few cases where you
48*cdf0e10cSrcweir     will have to spell it out explicitly (e.g., the logic of a certain
49*cdf0e10cSrcweir     instance of the pattern is too complex to be mapped to the template, or
50*cdf0e10cSrcweir     some compiler refuses to compile a template instantiation due to internal
51*cdf0e10cSrcweir     compiler errors), though, and you should always call this macro at the
52*cdf0e10cSrcweir     right places then:
53*cdf0e10cSrcweir 
54*cdf0e10cSrcweir       static T * pInstance = 0;
55*cdf0e10cSrcweir 
56*cdf0e10cSrcweir       T * p = pInstance;
57*cdf0e10cSrcweir       if (!p)
58*cdf0e10cSrcweir       {
59*cdf0e10cSrcweir           Guard aGuard(aMutex);
60*cdf0e10cSrcweir           p = pInstance;
61*cdf0e10cSrcweir           if (!p)
62*cdf0e10cSrcweir           {
63*cdf0e10cSrcweir               p = ...;
64*cdf0e10cSrcweir               OSL_DOUBLE_CHECKED_LOCKING_MEMORY_BARRIER();
65*cdf0e10cSrcweir               pInstance = p;
66*cdf0e10cSrcweir           }
67*cdf0e10cSrcweir       }
68*cdf0e10cSrcweir       else
69*cdf0e10cSrcweir           OSL_DOUBLE_CHECKED_LOCKING_MEMORY_BARRIER();
70*cdf0e10cSrcweir       return p;
71*cdf0e10cSrcweir 
72*cdf0e10cSrcweir     One extra advantage of this macro is that it makes it easier to find all
73*cdf0e10cSrcweir     places where double-checked locking is used.
