--  Implementation of a POSIX-like mutexes

--  A complete implementation of this package is provided for all
--  tasking profiles.

   -------------
   -- Mutexes --
   -------------

   type Mutex_Type is abstract tagged limited private;
   type Mutex_Access is access all Mutex_Type'Class;
   --  Mutual exclusion locks (mutexes) prevent multiple threads from
   --  simultaneously executing critical sections of code which access shared
   --  data (that is, mutexes are used to serialize the execution of
   --  threads). While a thread is in the critical section protected by a
   --  mutex, it is designated as the owner of that mutex.

   procedure Enter (M : access Mutex_Type) is abstract;
   --  A call to Enter locks mutex object M. If M is already locked,
   --  the caller is blocked until it gets unlocked. On exit from Enter,
   --  M is locked, and the caller is the owner.
   --  If the current owner of a mutex tries to enter it again, a
   --  deadlock occurs.

   procedure Leave (M : access Mutex_Type) is abstract;
   --  Release M. M must be locked, and the caller must be the owner.
   --  The scheduling policy determines which blocked thread is awakened
   --  next and obtains the mutex.
   --  It is erroneous for any process other than the owner of a mutex
   --  to invoke Leave.

   -------------------
   -- Mutex_Factory --
   -------------------

   type Mutex_Factory_Type is abstract tagged limited null record;
   --  This type is a factory for the mutex type.
   --  A subclass of this factory exists for every tasking profile:
   --  Full Tasking, Ravenscar and No Tasking.
   --  This type provides functionalities for creating mutexes
   --  corresponding to the chosen tasking profile.

   type Mutex_Factory_Access is access all Mutex_Factory_Type'Class;

   function Create
     (MF   : access Mutex_Factory_Type;
      Name : String := "")
     return Mutex_Access
      is abstract;
   --  Create a new mutex, or get a preallocated one.
   --  Name will be used to get the configuration of this
   --  mutex from the configuration module.

   procedure Destroy
     (MF : access Mutex_Factory_Type;
      M  : in out Mutex_Access)
     is abstract;
   --  Destroy M, or just release it if it was preallocated.

   procedure Register_Mutex_Factory
     (MF : Mutex_Factory_Access);
   --  Register the factory corresponding to the chosen tasking profile.

   procedure Create (M : out Mutex_Access; Name : String := "");
   procedure Destroy (M : in out Mutex_Access);

   type Scope_Lock (M : access Mutex_Type'Class) is
     new Mutex_Type with private;
   function Is_Locked (SL : Scope_Lock) return Boolean;
   --  Scope lock: Initialize enters M, Finalize leaves M. Using a Scope_Lock
   --  ensures that a given critical section is held for the duration of
   --  a given scope, and that it is exited when the scope is left, whether
   --  because it has completed, or an exception was raised, or the task was
   --  aborted.

   --  The Scope_Lock's Enter and Leave operations call those of the underlying
   --  mutex, and keep track of whether the critical section has been left or
   --  re-entered. This is done with abortion deferred, so that the flag
   --  tracking whether we are in the critical section remains consistent with
   --  the actual state of the mutex. Is_Locked returns the current value of
   --  the flag.

   --  The critical section can thus be exited temporarily during the lifespan
   --  of the Scope_Lock, in an abort-safe manner. (If the task is aborted
   --  and the flag indicates that we have left the critical section, then
   --  the mutex is not released again upon finalization).

   --  Note that this can be done not only using a pair of explicit Leave/Enter
   --  calls; it is also possible to pass the scope lock object (instead of
   --  its underlying mutex) to a call to the Wait operation of a condition
   --  variable. A task can thus be suspended in an abort safe way while in
   --  critical section.
