	description: "Threads â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thread abstraction; including threads, different mutexes, conditions and thread private data"

deferred class G_THREAD
	obsolete "G_THREAD is currently unusable because standard library is NOT thread safe. At all"
	-- A thread of work.
	
	-- Threads act almost like processes, but unlike processes all threads of
	-- one process share the same memory. This is good, as it provides easy
	-- communication between the involved threads via this shared memory, and
	-- it is bad, because strange things (so called "Heisenbugs") might happen
	-- if the program is not carefully designed. In particular, due to the
	-- concurrent nature of threads, no assumptions on the order of execution
	-- of code running in different threads can be made, unless order is
	-- explicitly forced by the programmer through synchronization primitives.

	-- The aim of the thread related functions in GLib is to provide a portable
	-- means for writing multi-threaded software. There are primitives for
	-- mutexes to protect the access to portions of memory (G_MUTEX,
	-- GStaticMutex, G_LOCK_DEFINE, GStaticRecMutex and GStaticRWLock). There
	-- are primitives for condition variables to allow synchronization of
	-- threads (GCond). There are primitives for thread-private data - data
	-- that every thread has a private instance of (GPrivate, GStaticPrivate).
	-- Last but definitely not least there are primitives to portably create
	-- and manage threads (GThread).


	-- When using G_THREADs in your program, you have to link with the
	-- libraries that the command pkg-config --libs gthread-2.0 outputs. This
	-- is not the case for all the other thread related functions of GLib.
	-- Those can be used without having to link with the thread libraries
	-- This will be hopefully automatized in further wrappers releases

-- typedef struct _GStaticMutex GStaticMutex;
-- 
-- A GStaticMutex works like a GMutex, but it has one significant advantage. It doesn't need to be created at run-time like a GMutex, but can be defined at compile-time. Here is a shorter, easier and safer version of our give_me_next_number() example:

-- }
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- Sometimes you would like to dynamically create a mutex. If you don't want to require prior calling to g_thread_init(), because your code should also be usable in non-threaded programs, you are not able to use g_mutex_new() and thus GMutex, as that requires a prior call to g_thread_init(). In theses cases you can also use a GStaticMutex. It must be initialized with g_static_mutex_init() before using it and freed with with g_static_mutex_free() when not needed anymore to free up any allocated resources.
-- 
-- Even though GStaticMutex is not opaque, it should only be used with the following functions, as it is defined differently on different platforms.
-- 
-- All of the g_static_mutex_* functions apart from g_static_mutex_get_mutex can also be used even if g_thread_init() has not yet been called. Then they do nothing, apart from g_static_mutex_trylock, which does nothing but returning TRUE.

-- The G_LOCK_* macros provide a convenient interface to GStaticMutex with the advantage that they will expand to nothing in programs compiled against a thread-disabled GLib, saving code and memory there. G_LOCK_DEFINE defines a lock. It can appear anywhere variable definitions may appear in programs, i.e. in the first block of a function or outside of functions. The name parameter will be mangled to get the name of the GStaticMutex. This means that you can use names of existing variables as the parameter - e.g. the name of the variable you intent to protect with the lock.

-- 
-- The GStaticRWLock struct represents a read-write lock. A read-write lock can be used for protecting data that some portions of code only read from, while others also write. In such situations it is desirable that several readers can read at once, whereas of course only one writer may write at a time. Take a look at the following example:

--   if (!array)

-- 
--   g_static_rw_lock_reader_lock (&rwlock);

--   g_ptr_array_index (array, index) = data;
-- 
--   g_static_rw_lock_writer_unlock (&rwlock);
-- }
-- 
-- 
-- 
-- This example shows an array which can be accessed by many readers (the my_array_get() function) simultaneously, whereas the writers (the my_array_set() function) will only be allowed once at a time and only if no readers currently access the array. This is because of the potentially dangerous resizing of the array. Using these functions is fully multi-thread safe now.
-- 
-- Most of the time, writers should have precedence over readers. That means, for this implementation, that as soon as a writer wants to lock the data, no other reader is allowed to lock the data, whereas, of course, the readers that already have locked the data are allowed to finish their operation. As soon as the last reader unlocks the data, the writer will lock it.
-- 
-- Even though GStaticRWLock is not opaque, it should only be used with the following functions.
-- 
-- All of the g_static_rw_lock_* functions can be used even if g_thread_init() has not been called. Then they do nothing, apart from g_static_rw_lock_*_trylock, which does nothing but returning TRUE.
-- 
-- Note
-- 
-- A read-write lock has a higher overhead than a mutex. For example, both g_static_rw_lock_reader_lock() and g_static_rw_lock_reader_unlock() have to lock and unlock a GStaticMutex, so it takes at least twice the time to lock and unlock a GStaticRWLock that it does to lock and unlock a GStaticMutex. So only data structures that are accessed by multiple readers, and which keep the lock for a considerable time justify a GStaticRWLock. The above example most probably would fare better with a GStaticMutex.
