30 * Thread-safety during class initialization (GrP 2001-9-24)
32 * Initial state: CLS_INITIALIZING and CLS_INITIALIZED both clear.
33 * During initialization: CLS_INITIALIZING is set
34 * After initialization: CLS_INITIALIZING clear and CLS_INITIALIZED set.
35 * CLS_INITIALIZING and CLS_INITIALIZED are never set at the same time.
36 * CLS_INITIALIZED is never cleared once set.
38 * Only one thread is allowed to actually initialize a class and send
39 * +initialize. Enforced by allowing only one thread to set CLS_INITIALIZING.
41 * Additionally, threads trying to send messages to a class must wait for
42 * +initialize to finish. During initialization of a class, that class's
43 * method cache is kept empty. objc_msgSend will revert to
44 * class_lookupMethodAndLoadCache, which checks CLS_INITIALIZED before
45 * messaging. If CLS_INITIALIZED is clear but CLS_INITIALIZING is set,
46 * the thread must block, unless it is the thread that started
47 * initializing the class in the first place.
49 * Each thread keeps a list of classes it's initializing.
50 * The global classInitLock is used to synchronize changes to CLS_INITIALIZED
51 * and CLS_INITIALIZING: the transition to CLS_INITIALIZING must be
52 * an atomic test-and-set with respect to itself and the transition
54 * The global classInitWaitCond is used to block threads waiting for an
55 * initialization to complete. The classInitLock synchronizes
56 * condition checking and the condition variable.
