38  * Requirements:
39  *
40  * 1. The thread safe mechanism should be lightweight so the library can
41  *    be used by non-threaded applications without unreasonable overhead.
42  *
43  * 2. There should be no dependency on a thread engine for non-threaded
44  *    applications.
45  *
46  * 3. There should be no dependency on any particular thread engine.
47  *
48  * 4. The library should be able to be compiled without support for thread
49  *    safety.
50  *
51  *
52  * Rationale:
53  *
54  * One approach for thread safety is to provide discrete versions of the
55  * library: one thread safe, the other not.  The disadvantage of this is
56  * that libc is rather large, and two copies of a library which are 99%+
57  * identical is not an efficent use of resources.
58  *
59  * Another approach is to provide a single thread safe library.  However,
60  * it should not add significant run time or code size overhead to non-
61  * threaded applications.
62  *
63  * Since the NetBSD C library is used in other projects, it should be
64  * easy to replace the mutual exclusion primitives with ones provided by
65  * another system.  Similarly, it should also be easy to remove all
66  * support for thread safety completely if the target environment does
67  * not support threads.
68  *
69  *
70  * Implementation Details:
71  *
72  * The mutex primitives used by the library (mutex_t, mutex_lock, etc.)
73  * are macros which expand to the cooresponding primitives provided by
74  * the thread engine or to nothing.  The latter is used so that code is
75  * not unreasonably cluttered with #ifdefs when all thread safe support
76  * is removed.
77  *
78  * The mutex macros can be directly mapped to the mutex primitives from
79  * pthreads, however it should be reasonably easy to wrap another mutex
80  * implementation so it presents a similar interface.
81  *
82  * Stub implementations of the mutex functions are provided with *weak*
83  * linkage.  These functions simply return success.  When linked with a
84  * thread library (i.e. -lpthread), the functions will override the
85  * stubs.
