.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In ck_epoch.h
|
|
.Ft bool
|
|
.Fn ck_epoch_poll "ck_epoch_t *epoch" "ck_epoch_record_t *record"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ck_epoch_poll 3
|
|
function will attempt to dispatch any functions associated with the
|
|
object pointed to by
|
|
.Fa epoch
|
|
via
|
|
.Fn ck_epoch_call 3
|
|
if deemed safe. This function is meant to be used in cases epoch
|
|
reclamation cost must be amortized over time in a manner that does
|
|
not affect caller progress.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
This function will return true if at least one function was dispatched.
|
|
This function will return false if it has determined not all threads have
|
|
observed the latest generation of epoch-protected objects. Neither value
|
|
indicates an error.
|
|
.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 .
