38 /* | |
39 ** API for NSPR threads. On some architectures (MAC and WIN16 | |
40 ** notably) pre-emptibility is not guaranteed. Hard priority scheduling | |
41 ** is not guaranteed, so programming using priority based synchronization | |
42 ** is a no-no. | |
43 ** | |
44 ** NSPR threads are scheduled based loosly on their client set priority. | |
45 ** In general, a thread of a higher priority has a statistically better | |
46 ** chance of running relative to threads of lower priority. However, | |
47 ** NSPR uses multiple strategies to provide execution vehicles for thread | |
48 ** abstraction of various host platforms. As it turns out, there is little | |
49 ** NSPR can do to affect the scheduling attributes of "GLOBAL" threads. | |
50 ** However, a semblance of GLOBAL threads is used to implement "LOCAL" | |
51 ** threads. An arbitrary number of such LOCAL threads can be assigned to | |
52 ** a single GLOBAL thread. | |
53 ** | |
54 ** For scheduling, NSPR will attempt to run the highest priority LOCAL | |
55 ** thread associated with a given GLOBAL thread. It is further assumed | |
56 ** that the host OS will apply some form of "fair" scheduling on the | |
57 ** GLOBAL threads. | |
58 ** | |
59 ** Threads have a "system flag" which when set indicates the thread | |
60 ** doesn't count for determining when the process should exit (the | |
61 ** process exits when the last user thread exits). | |
62 ** | |
63 ** Threads also have a "scope flag" which controls whether the threads | |
64 ** are scheduled in the local scope or scheduled by the OS globally. This | |
65 ** indicates whether a thread is permanently bound to a native OS thread. | |
66 ** An unbound thread competes for scheduling resources in the same process. | |
67 ** | |
68 ** Another flag is "state flag" which control whether the thread is joinable. | |
69 ** It allows other threads to wait for the created thread to reach completion. | |
70 ** | |
71 ** Threads can have "per-thread-data" attached to them. Each thread has a | |
72 ** per-thread error number and error string which are updated when NSPR | |
73 ** operations fail. | |
