// This header file contains macro definitions for thread safety annotations
// that allow developers to document the locking policies of multi-threaded
// code. The annotations can also help program analysis tools to identify
// potential thread safety issues.
//
//
// These annotations are implemented using compiler attributes. Using the macros
// defined here instead of raw attributes allow for portability and future
// compatibility.
//
// When referring to mutexes in the arguments of the attributes, you should
// use variable names or more complex expressions (e.g. my_object->mutex_)
// that evaluate to a concrete mutex object whenever possible. If the mutex
// you want to refer to is not in scope, you may use a member pointer
// (e.g. &MyClass::mutex_) to refer to a mutex in some (unknown) object.

// GUARDED_BY()
//
// Documents if a shared variable/field needs to be protected by a mutex.
// GUARDED_BY() allows the user to specify a particular mutex that should be
// held when accessing the annotated variable.
//
// Example:
//
// Mutex mu;
// int p1 GUARDED_BY(mu);
#define GUARDED_BY(x) THREAD_ANNOTATION_ATTRIBUTE__(guarded_by(x))
#define GUARDED_VAR THREAD_ANNOTATION_ATTRIBUTE__(guarded)
// PT_GUARDED_BY()
//
// Documents if the memory location pointed to by a pointer should be guarded
// by a mutex when dereferencing the pointer.
//
// Example:
// Mutex mu;
// int *p1 PT_GUARDED_BY(mu);
//
// Note that a pointer variable to a shared memory location could itself be a
// shared variable.
//
// Example:
//
// // `q`, guarded by `mu1`, points to a shared memory location that is
// // guarded by `mu2`:
// int *q GUARDED_BY(mu1) PT_GUARDED_BY(mu2);

// ACQUIRED_AFTER() / ACQUIRED_BEFORE()
//
// Documents the acquisition order between locks that can be held
// simultaneously by a thread. For any two locks that need to be annotated
// to establish an acquisition order, only one of them needs the annotation.
// (i.e. You don't have to annotate both locks with both ACQUIRED_AFTER
// and ACQUIRED_BEFORE.)

// Example:
//
// Mutex m1;
// Mutex m2 ACQUIRED_AFTER(m1);

// EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED() / SHARED_LOCKS_REQUIRED()
//
// Documents a function that expects a mutex to be held prior to entry.
// The mutex is expected to be held both on entry to, and exit from, the

//
// Example:
//
// Mutex mu1, mu2;
// int a GUARDED_BY(mu1);
// int b GUARDED_BY(mu2);
//
// void foo() EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(mu1, mu2) { ... };

// success, or `false` for functions that return `false` on success. The second

// mutex is assumed to be `this`.
