<h2>Read/write locks are recursive</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The i5/OS implementation of read/write locks provides a recursive behavior
|
||
|
|
not only for shared read locks (as the thread standard specifies), but for
|
||
|
|
exclusive write locks as well. The following statements apply to read/write
|
||
|
|
locks on i5/OS:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>A thread can acquire any number of shared read locks on a read/write lock.
|
||
|
|
Each successful shared read lock that is acquired must be released by a call to
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock()</strong>.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>A thread can acquire any number of exclusive write locks on a read/write
|
||
|
|
lock. Each successful exclusive write lock that is acquired must be released by
|
||
|
|
a call to <strong>pthread_rwlock_unlock()</strong>.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
