Member Function Documentation

void GCCriticalSection::enter ( )

inlinestatic

Enters a LLNI critical section which prevents the GC from moving objects around on the collected heap.

There are no race conditions possible while entering such a critical section, because each thread only modifies its own thread local flag and the GC reads the flags while the world is stopped.

Definition at line 60 of file gc.hpp.

bool GCCriticalSection::inside ( )

inlinestatic

Checks if the calling thread is inside a GC critical section.

Returns

true if inside, false otherwise.

Definition at line 94 of file gc.hpp.

void GCCriticalSection::leave ( )

inlinestatic

Leaves a LLNI critical section and allows the GC to move objects around on the collected heap again.

Definition at line 76 of file gc.hpp.
