Comment (by bonefish):
jua, thanks for continuing to work on this. The C++ dependency is
something I didn't think of. So far our general philosophy has been that
public kernel API should be C while private kernel API can be C++ and code
that wants to use it must live with the fact (usually by switching to C++,
too). In case of the locking primitives the intention is, however, to make
the API public eventually (maybe not in R1 yet), so introducing C++
dependencies is probably not the best move.
I think the way to go is to make the locking functions out of line after
all. That is a bit of a pity, since currently, due to the atomic functions
being built-ins (with gcc4 at least), the inline functions can be reduced
to just a few machine instructions in the common locking cases (no one
else has the lock/no one is waiting on the lock). Well, I guess it can't
be helped. It would be great, if you tried to keep the code paths for
those cases as short as possible anyway.
