Coin implements a set of abstractions over the native threads data types that can be portably used across all the platforms Coin has been ported to.

Enumeration Type Documentation

cc_threads_implementation

enum enum cc_threads_implementation cc_threads_implementation

The definition of the enumerator for identification of the thread type implemented.

The type definition for the implemented thread enumerator.

{ CC_NO_THREADS = -1, CC_PTHREAD = 0, CC_W32THREAD }

cc_retval

enum enum cc_retval cc_retval

The enumerator for return values of thread related functions.

The type definition for the return value enumerator.

{ CC_ERROR = 0, CC_OK = 1, CC_TIMEOUT, CC_BUSY }

cc_precedence

enum enum cc_precedence cc_precedence

The precedence values for the read-write mutex.

The type definition of the cc_precedence enumerator.

{CC_READ_PRECEDENCE, CC_WRITE_PRECEDENCE}

CC_READ_PRECEDENCE is the default.
