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