.Dt CK_EPOCH_BARRIER 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm ck_epoch_barrier
.Nd block until a grace period and all callbacks have been dispatched
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_epoch.h
.Ft void
.Fn ck_epoch_barrier "ck_epoch_t *epoch" "ck_epoch_record_t *record"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ck_epoch_barrier 3
function will block the caller until a grace period has been
detected, according to the semantics of epoch reclamation.
Any objects requiring safe memory reclamation which are logically
deleted are safe for physical deletion following a call to
.Fn ck_epoch_barrier 3 . This function will also dispatch all callbacks
associated with
.Fa epoch
that were previously scheduled via
.Fn ck_epoch_call 3 .
.Sh EXAMPLE
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#include <ck_epoch.h>
#include <ck_stack.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
/*
* epoch was previously initialized with ck_epoch_init.
* stack was previously initialized with ck_stack_init.
*/

void
function(void)
{
ck_epoch_record_t *record;
ck_stack_entry_t *s;
record = malloc(sizeof *record);
ck_epoch_register(&epoch, record);
/*
* We are using an epoch section here to guarantee no
* nodes in the stack are deleted while we are dereferencing
* them. This is needed here because there are multiple writers.
* If there was only one thread popping from the this stack,
* then there is no need to ck_epoch_begin/ck_epoch_end.
*/
ck_epoch_begin(epoch, record);
/* Logically delete an object. */
s = ck_stack_pop_upmc(stack);
ck_epoch_end(epoch, record);
/*
* Wait until no threads could possibly have a reference to the
* object we just popped (assume all threads are simply executing
* ck_stack_pop_upmc).
*/
ck_epoch_barrier(epoch, record);
/* It is now safe to physically delete the object. */
free(s);
return;
}
.Sh RETURN VALUES
This function has no return value.
.Sh ERRORS
Behavior is undefined if the object pointed to by
.Fa epoch
is not a valid epoch object. The object pointed to by
.Fa record
must have been previously registered via
.Fn ck_epoch_register 3 .

.Fn ck_epoch_begin "ck_epoch_t *epoch" "ck_epoch_record_t *record"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ck_epoch_begin 3
function will mark the beginning of an epoch-protected code section.
An epoch-protected code section is delimited by a call to the
.Fn ck_epoch_end 3
function. Though recursion is allowed for epoch-protected sections,
recursive calls will be associated with the

that is at the top of the call stack.

.Dt CK_EPOCH_SYNCHRONIZE 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm ck_epoch_synchronize
.Nd block until a grace period has been detected
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_epoch.h
.Ft void
.Fn ck_epoch_synchronize "ck_epoch_t *epoch" "ck_epoch_record_t *record"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ck_epoch_synchronize 3
function will block the caller until a grace period has been
detected, according to the semantics of epoch reclamation.
Any objects requiring safe memory reclamation which are logically
deleted are safe for physical deletion following a call to
.Fn ck_epoch_synchronize 3 . This function may also dispatch callbacks
associated with
.Fa epoch
that were previously scheduled via
.Fn ck_epoch_call 3 .
If you require that all callbacks be dispatched, then it is suggested
that you use
.Fn ck_epoch_barrier 3
instead.
.Sh EXAMPLE
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#include <ck_epoch.h>
#include <ck_stack.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
/*
* epoch was previously initialized with ck_epoch_init.
* stack was previously initialized with ck_stack_init.
*/
ck_epoch_t *epoch;
ck_stack_t *stack;
void
function(void)
{
ck_epoch_record_t *record;
ck_stack_entry_t *s;
record = malloc(sizeof *record);
ck_epoch_register(&epoch, record);
/*
* We are using an epoch section here to guarantee no
* nodes in the stack are deleted while we are dereferencing
* them. This is needed here because there are multiple writers.
* If there was only one thread popping from the this stack,
* then there is no need to ck_epoch_begin/ck_epoch_end.
*/
ck_epoch_begin(epoch, record);
/* Logically delete an object. */
s = ck_stack_pop_upmc(stack);
ck_epoch_end(epoch, record);
/*
* Wait until no threads could possibly have a reference to the
* object we just popped (assume all threads are simply executing
* ck_stack_pop_upmc).
*/
ck_epoch_synchronize(epoch, record);
/* It is now safe to physically delete the object. */
free(s);
return;
}
.Sh RETURN VALUES
This function has no return value.
.Sh ERRORS
Behavior is undefined if the object pointed to by
.Fa epoch
is not a valid epoch object. The object pointed to by
.Fa record
must have been previously registered via
.Fn ck_epoch_register 3 .

.Dt CK_EPOCH_UNREGISTER 3
.Sh NAME
.Nm ck_epoch_unregister
.Nd unregister a thread for epoch reclamation
.Sh LIBRARY
Concurrency Kit (libck, \-lck)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In ck_epoch.h
.Ft void
.Fn ck_epoch_unregister "ck_epoch_t *epoch" "ck_epoch_record_t *record"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn ck_epoch_unregister 3
function allows for the record pointed by the
.Fa record
pointer to be used as a return value by the
.Fn ck_epoch_recycle 3
function. This record can now be used by another thread
of execution. Behavior is undefined if the object pointed by
.Fa record
is modified in any way, even after a call is made to the
.Fn ck_epoch_unregister 3
function.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
This function has no return value.
.Sh ERRORS
Behavior is undefined if the object pointed to by
.Fa record
was not previously associated with the object pointed to by
.Fa epoch
through a previous call to the
.Fn ck_epoch_register 3
function.
