| 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. | |
