| // This SeqLock handles only *one* writer and multiple readers. It may be |
| // suitable for low-contention with relatively infrequent writes, and many |
| // readers. See: |
| // http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seqlock |
| // http://www.concurrencykit.org/doc/ck_sequence.html |
| // This implementation is based on ck_sequence.h from http://concurrencykit.org. |
| // |
| // Currently this type of lock is used in two implementations (gamepad and |
| // device motion, in particular see e.g. shared_memory_seqlock_buffer.h). |
| // It may make sense to generalize this lock to multiple writers. |
| // |
| // You must be very careful not to operate on potentially inconsistent read |
| // buffers. If the read must be retry'd, the data in the read buffer could |
| // contain any random garbage. e.g., contained pointers might be |
| // garbage, or indices could be out of range. Probably the only suitable thing |
| // to do during the read loop is to make a copy of the data, and operate on it |
| // only after the read was found to be consistent. |
