Here is the call graph for this function:

Variable Details:

◆ MODULE_LOCK

ALIB_API std::mutex MODULE_LOCK

extern

The internal mutex used with operations like starting, ending or finding thread objects.

Note: With the presence of module ALib Monomem in the ALib Distribution, this object is not available. Instead, GLOBAL_ALLOCATOR_LOCK is used, because this likewise protects modifications on object detail::THREAD_MAP, which uses this allocator.

◆ THREAD_MAP

HashMap< MonoAllocator, std::thread::id, Thread * > THREAD_MAP

Directory which assigns system thread IDs to ALib Thread objects.

The hash map used to find the current thread object. The object uses default values for HashTable::BaseLoadFactor and HashTable::MaxLoadFactor. Depending on the use of threads by a using application, these values might be modified before starting the first phase of bootstrapping ALib.

If so, an initial call to HashTable::Reserve may be likewise be performed.

Note: With the absence of module ALib Monomem in the ALib Distribution, the type of this object is std::unordered_map.
