Typedefs¶

typedef pthread_mutex_t mdb_mutex_t[1]
typedef pthread_mutex_t * mdb_mutexref_t

#define MDB_DEVEL 0¶

Features under development

#define mdb_func_ '<mdb_unknown>'¶

Wrapper around func, which is a C99 feature

#define MDB_USE_ROBUST 1¶

Some platforms define the EOWNERDEAD error code even though they don't support Robust Mutexes. Compile with -DMDB_USE_ROBUST=0, or use some other mechanism like -DMDB_USE_POSIX_SEM instead of -DMDB_USE_POSIX_MUTEX. (Posix semaphores are not robust.)

#define Z 'z'¶

printf format modifier for size_t

#define MDB_PIDLOCK 1¶

For MDB_LOCK_FORMAT: True if readers take a pid lock in the lockfile

#define LOCK_MUTEX0(mutex) pthread_mutex_lock(mutex)¶

Lock the reader or writer mutex. Returns 0 or a code to give mdb_mutex_failed(), as in LOCK_MUTEX().

#define UNLOCK_MUTEX(mutex) pthread_mutex_unlock(mutex)¶

Unlock the reader or writer mutex.

#define mdb_mutex_consistent(mutex) pthread_mutex_consistent(mutex)¶

Mark mutex-protected data as repaired, after death of previous owner.

#define ErrCode() errno¶

Get the error code for the last failed system function.

#define HANDLE int¶

An abstraction for a file handle. On POSIX systems file handles are small integers. On Windows they're opaque pointers.

#define INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE (-1)¶

A value for an invalid file handle. Mainly used to initialize file variables and signify that they are unused.

#define GET_PAGESIZE(x) ((x) = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE))¶

Get the size of a memory page for the system. This is the basic size that the platform's memory manager uses, and is fundamental to the use of memory-mapped files.

typedef pthread_mutex_t mdb_mutex_t[1]¶

Shared mutex/semaphore as the original is stored.

Not for copies. Instead it can be assigned to an mdb_mutexref_t. When mdb_mutexref_t is a pointer and mdb_mutex_t is not, then it is array[size 1] so it can be assigned to the pointer.

typedef pthread_mutex_t* mdb_mutexref_t¶

Reference to an mdb_mutex_t
