36 /** A non-broken version of the double-checked locking pattern.
37 
38     See
39     <http://www.cs.umd.edu/~pugh/java/memoryModel/DoubleCheckedLocking.html>
40     for a description of double-checked locking, why it is broken, and how it
41     can be fixed.  Always use this template instead of spelling out the
42     double-checked locking pattern explicitly, and only in those rare cases
43     where that is not possible and you have to spell it out explicitly, at
44     least call OSL_DOUBLE_CHECKED_LOCKING_MEMORY_BARRIER() at the right
45     places.  That way, all platform-dependent code to make double-checked
46     locking work can be kept in one place.

48     Usage scenarios:
49 
50     1  Static instance (most common case)
51

229       }
230 
231     Some comments:
232 
233     For any instantiation of rtl_Instance, at most one call to a create method
234     may occur in the program code:  Each occurance of a create method within
235     the program code is supposed to return a fresh object instance on the
236     first call, and that same object instance on subsequent calls; but
237     independent occurances of create methods are supposed to return
238     independent object instances.  Since there is a one-to-one correspondence
239     between object instances and instantiations of rtl_Instance, the
240     requirement should be clear.  One measure to enforce the requirement is
241     that rtl_Instance lives in an unnamed namespace, so that instantiations of
242     rtl_Instance in different translation units will definitely be different
243     instantiations.  A drawback of that measure is that the name of the class
244     needs a funny "hand coded" prefix "rtl_" instead of a proper namespace
245     prefix like "::rtl::".
246 
247     A known problem with this template is when two occurences of calls to
248     create methods with identical template arguments appear in one translation
249     unit.  Those two places will share a single object instance.  This can be
250     avoided by using different Init structs (see the above code samples) in
251     the two places.
252 
253     There is no need to make m_pInstance volatile, in order to avoid usage of
254     stale copies of m_pInstance:  At the first check, a thread will see that
255     m_pInstance contains either 0 or a valid pointer.  If it contains a valid
256     pointer, it cannot be stale, and that pointer is used.  If it contains 0,
257     acquiring the mutex will ensure that the second check sees a non-stale
258     value in all cases.
259 
260     On some compilers, the create methods would not be inlined if they
261     contained any static variables, so m_pInstance is made a class member
262     instead (and the create methods are inlined).  But on MSC, the definition
263     of the class member m_pInstance would cause compilation to fail with an
264     internal compiler error.  Since MSC is able to inline methods containing
265     static variables, m_pInstance is moved into the methods there.  Note that
266     this only works well because for any instantiation of rtl_Instance at most
267     one call to a create method should be present, anyway.
