Hello,
the locking primitives in "libprop" are currently used like this:
_PROP_RWLOCK_RDLOCK(pd->pd_rwlock);
_PROP_RWLOCK_WRLOCK(pd->pd_rwlock);
_PROP_RWLOCK_UNLOCK(pd->pd_rwlock);
_PROP_RWLOCK_RDLOCK(pa->pa_rwlock);
_PROP_RWLOCK_UNLOCK(pa->pa_rwlock);
_PROP_RWLOCK_WRLOCK(pa->pa_rwlock);
This interface is IMHO a bit messy because in the case of stand alone
binaries neither "pd_rwlock" nor "pw_rwlock" actually exist. Is there
a reason why the interface doesn't look like this?
_PROP_RWLOCK_RDLOCK(pd);
_PROP_RWLOCK_WRLOCK(pd);
_PROP_RWLOCK_UNLOCK(pd);
_PROP_RWLOCK_RDLOCK(pa);
_PROP_RWLOCK_UNLOCK(pa);
_PROP_RWLOCK_WRLOCK(pa);
The only disadvantage would be that the member containing the lock
would have to use the same name in "_prop_dictionary" and "_prop_array".
Kind regards
