25/**
26 * @short A portable C++ threading library for embedded applications.
27 * GNU uCommon C++ is meant as a very light-weight library to facilitate using
28 * C++ design patterns even for very deeply embedded applications, such as for
29 * systems using uclibc along with posix threading support. For this reason,
30 * uCommon disables language features that consume memory or introduce runtime
31 * overhead, such as rtti and exception handling, and assumes one will mostly
32 * be linking applications with other pure C based libraries rather than using
33 * the overhead of the standard C++ library and other class frameworks.
34 *
35 * uCommon by default does build with support for the bloated ansi standard c++
36 * library unless this is changed at configure time with the --disable-stdcpp
37 * option. This is to assure maximum portability and will be used to merge
38 * uCommon with GNU Common C++ to form GNU Common C++ 2.0. Some specific
39 * features are tested for when stdc++ is enabled, and these will be used
40 * to add back in GNU Common C++ classes such as TCP Stream and serialization.
41 *
42 * uCommon introduces some Objective-C based design patterns, such as reference
43 * counted objects, memory pools, smart pointers, and offers dynamic typing
44 * through very light use of inline templates for pure type translation that are
45 * then tied to concrete base classes to avoid template instantiation issues. C++
46 * auto-variable automation is also used to enable referenced objects to be
47 * deleted and threading locks to be released that are acquired automatically when
48 * methods return rather than requiring one to explicitly code for these things.
49 *
50 * uCommon depends on and when necessary will introduce some portable C
51 * replacement functions, especially for sockets, such as adding getaddrinfo for
52 * platforms which do not have it, or when threadsafe versions of existing C
53 * library functions are needed. Basic socket support for connecting to named
54 * destinations and multicast addresses, and binding to interfaces with IPV4 and
55 * IPV6 addresses is directly supported. Support for high resolution timing and
56 * Posix realtime clocks are also used when available.
57 *
58 * uCommon builds all higher level thread synchronization objects directly from
59 * conditionals. Hence, on platforms which for example do not have rwlocks,
60 * barriers, or semaphores, these are still found in uCommon. A common and
61 * consistent call methodology is used for all locks, whether mutex, rw, or
62 * semaphore, based on whether used for exclusive or "shared" locking.
63 *
64 * uCommon requires some knowledge of compiler switches and options to disable
65 * language features, the C++ runtime and stdlibs, and associated C++ headers. The
66 * current version supports compiling with GCC, which is commonly found on
67 * GNU/Linux, OS/X, BSD based systems, and many other platforms; and the Sun
68 * Workshop compiler, which is offered as an example how to adapt uCommon for
69 * additional compilers. uCommon may also be built with GCC cross compiling for
70 * mingw32 to build threaded applications for Microsoft Windows targets nativiely.
71 *
72 * The minimum platform support for uCommon is a modern and working posix
73 * pthread threading library. I further use a subset of posix threads to assure
74 * wider portability by avoiding more specialized features like process shared
75 * synchronization objects, pthread rwlocks and pthread semaphores, as these are
76 * not implemented on all platforms that I have found. Finally, I have
77 * eliminated the use of posix thread cancellation.
