30 // This file contains the synchronization utilities used to make dyld APIs be thread safe.
31 //
32 // The implementation of all dyld API's must hold acquire global lock (in libSystem)
33 // before calling into dyld proper, and release the lock after returning from dyld.
34 // This is done using the macros DYLD_LOCK_THIS_BLOCK.
35 // Example:
36 //
37 // void dyld_api() {
38 // DYLD_LOCK_THIS_BLOCK;
39 // // free to do stuff here
40 // // that accesses dyld internal data structures
41 // }
42 //
43 // void dyld_api_state_free() {
44 // DYLD_NO_LOCK_THIS_BLOCK
45 // // can only do stuff here
46 // // that does not require locking
47 // }
