Should we use MALLOC_TRACE to verify it? I added mtrace, fixed the typo, and updated the documentation comment. I will commit this once 2.28 opens for development. Thanks, Florian Subject: [PATCH] Implement allocate_once for atomic initialization with allocation To: libc-alpha@sourceware.org 2018-01-12 Florian Weimer Implement allocate_once. * include/allocate_once.h: New file. * misc/allocate_once.c: Likewise. * misc/tst-allocate_once.c: Likewise. * misc/Makefile (routines): Add allocate_once. (tests-internal): Add tst-allocate_once. (generated): Add tst-allocate_once.mtrace, tst-allocate_once-mem.out. (tests-special): Add tst-allocate_once-mem.out. (tst-allocate_once-ENV): Set MALLOC_TRACE. (tst-allocate_once-mem.out): Call mtrace. * misc/Versions (GLIBC_PRIVATE): Add __libc_allocate_once_slow. diff --git a/include/allocate_once.h b/include/allocate_once.h new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..750e116954 --- /dev/null +++ b/include/allocate_once.h @@ -0,0 +1,95 @@ +/* Allocate and initialize and object once, in a thread-safe fashion. + Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + This file is part of the GNU C Library. + + The GNU C Library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or + modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public + License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either + version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. + + The GNU C Library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
