The lock involved is a global lock, shared by all -- tasks, and by all calls to these routines, so these routines should be -- used with care to avoid unnecessary reduction of concurrency. -- These routines may be used in a non-tasking program, and in that case -- they have no effect (they do NOT cause the tasking runtime to be loaded). package GNAT.Task_Lock is pragma Elaborate_Body; procedure Lock; pragma Inline (Lock); -- Acquires the global lock, starts the execution of a critical region -- which no other task can enter until the locking task calls Unlock procedure Unlock; pragma Inline (Unlock); -- Releases the global lock, allowing another task to successfully -- complete a Lock operation. Terminates the critical region. -- -- The recommended protocol for using these two procedures is as -- follows: -- -- Locked_Processing : begin -- Lock; -- ... -- TSL.Unlock; -- -- exception -- when others => -- Unlock; -- raise; -- end Locked_Processing; -- -- This ensures that the lock is not left set if an exception is raised -- explicitly or implicitly during the critical locked region. -- -- Note on multiple calls to Lock: It is permissible to call Lock -- more than once with no intervening Unlock from a single task, -- and the lock will not be released until the corresponding number -- of Unlock operations has been performed. For example: -- -- GNAT.Task_Lock.Lock; -- acquires lock -- GNAT.Task_Lock.Lock; -- no effect -- GNAT.Task_Lock.Lock; -- no effect -- GNAT.Task_Lock.Unlock; -- no effect -- GNAT.Task_Lock.Unlock; -- no effect -- GNAT.Task_Lock.Unlock; -- releases lock -- -- However, as previously noted, the Task_Lock facility should only -- be used for very local locks where the probability of conflict is -- low, so usually this kind of nesting is not a good idea in any case. -- In more complex locking situations, it is more appropriate to define -- an appropriate protected type to provide the required locking. -- -- It is an error to call Unlock when there has been no prior call to -- Lock. The effect of such an erroneous call is undefined, and may -- result in deadlock, or other malfunction of the run-time system. end GNAT.Task_Lock;
