NAME 
src/tsq.c - Thread-safe queues
DESCRIPTION
Functions
QUEUE_ENTRY *pop_entry- Does a synchronized removal of the head entry off the queue and returns it.
QUEUE_ENTRY *peek_entry- This does no locking,
so the result might have changed by the time you get the entry,
but a synchronized
pop_entry()will check again and returnNULLif the queue is empty. QUEUE_ENTRY *nosync_pop_entry- Grab an entry off the queue with no synchronization. Internal only, because it's darned evil and shouldn't be used outside the module. It's in here so we don't have to duplicate pop code.
QUEUE_ENTRY *wait_for_entry- Does a synchronized removal of the head entry off the queue, waiting if necessary until there is an entry, and then returns it.
void push_entry- Does a synchronized insertion of
entryonto the tail of the queue. void unshift_entry- Does a synchronized insertion of
entryinto the head of the queue. void nosync_insert_entry- Inserts a timed event according to
abstime. The caller has to hold the queue mutex. void insert_entry- Does a synchronized insert of
entry. void queue_lock- Locks the queue's mutex.
void queue_unlock- Unlocks the queue's mutex.
void queue_broadcast- This function wakes up every thread waiting on the queue.
void queue_signal- XXX Needs a description
void queue_wait- Instructs the queue to wait.
void queue_timedwait- Instructs the queue to wait for
abs_timeseconds (?). QUEUE *queue_init- Initializes the queue,
setting
prioas the queue's priority. void queue_destroy- Destroys the queue, raising an exception if it is not empty.
