Starboard Module Reference: once.h

  • SbOnce ensures a function is executed only once per process in a thread-safe manner.

  • SbOnceControl is an opaque handle used for controlling the once functionality.

  • SbOnceInitRoutine is a function pointer type for the functions to be executed once.

  • SbOnce function returns true if successful, false if the control or routine is invalid.

Onces represent initializations that should only ever happen once per process, in a thread-safe way.

Macros

SB_ONCE_MAX_SIZE

Max size of the SbOnceControl type.

Typedefs

SbOnceControl

An opaque handle to a once control type with reserved memory buffer of size SB_ONCE_MAX_SIZE and aligned at void pointer type.

Definition

typedef union SbOnceControl SbOnceControl

SbOnceInitRoutine

Function pointer type for methods that can be called via the SbOnce() system.

Definition

typedef void(* SbOnceInitRoutine) (void)

Functions

SbOnce

Thread-safely runs init_routine only once.

  • If this once_control has not run a function yet, this function runs init_routine in a thread-safe way and then returns true.

  • If SbOnce() was called with once_control before, the function returns true immediately.

  • If once_control or init_routine is invalid, the function returns false.

Declaration

bool SbOnce(SbOnceControl *once_control, SbOnceInitRoutine init_routine)
