It sets the \fBn\fR\-th lock if \fBmode\fR & +\&\fB\s-1CRYPTO_LOCK\s0\fR, and releases it otherwise. +.PP +\&\fBfile\fR and \fBline\fR are the file number of the function setting the +lock. They can be useful for debugging. +.PP +threadid_func(\s-1CRYPTO_THREADID\s0 *id) is needed to record the currently-executing +thread's identifier into \fBid\fR. The implementation of this callback should not +fill in \fBid\fR directly, but should use \fICRYPTO_THREADID_set_numeric()\fR if thread +IDs are numeric, or \fICRYPTO_THREADID_set_pointer()\fR if they are pointer-based. +If the application does not register such a callback using +\&\fICRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback()\fR, then a default implementation is used \- on +Windows and BeOS this uses the system's default thread identifying APIs, and on +all other platforms it uses the address of \fBerrno\fR. The latter is satisfactory +for thread-safety if and only if the platform has a thread-local error number +facility. +.PP +Once \fIthreadid_func()\fR is registered, or if the built-in default implementation is +to be used; +.IP "\(bu" 4 +\&\fICRYPTO_THREADID_current()\fR records the currently-executing thread \s-1ID\s0 into the +given \fBid\fR object. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +\&\fICRYPTO_THREADID_cmp()\fR compares two thread IDs (returning zero for equality, ie. +the same semantics as \fImemcmp()\fR). +.IP "\(bu" 4 +\&\fICRYPTO_THREADID_cpy()\fR duplicates a thread \s-1ID\s0 value, +.IP "\(bu" 4 +\&\fICRYPTO_THREADID_hash()\fR returns a numeric value usable as a hash-table key. This +is usually the exact numeric or pointer-based thread \s-1ID\s0 used internally, however +this also handles the unusual case where pointers are larger than 'long' +variables and the platform's thread IDs are pointer-based \- in this case, mixing +is done to attempt to produce a unique numeric value even though it is not as +wide as the platform's true thread IDs. +.PP +Additionally, OpenSSL supports dynamic locks, and sometimes, some parts +of OpenSSL need it for better performance. To enable this, the following +is required: +.IP "\(bu" 4 +Three additional callback function, dyn_create_function, dyn_lock_function +and dyn_destroy_function. +.IP "\(bu" 4 +A structure defined with the data that each lock needs to handle. +.PP +struct CRYPTO_dynlock_value has to be defined to contain whatever structure +is needed to handle locks. +.PP +dyn_create_function(const char *file, int line) is needed to create a +lock. Multi-threaded applications might crash at random if it is not set. +.PP +dyn_lock_function(int mode, CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line) +is needed to perform locking off dynamic lock numbered n. Multi-threaded +applications might crash at random if it is not set. +.PP +dyn_destroy_function(CRYPTO_dynlock *l, const char *file, int line) is +needed to destroy the lock l. Multi-threaded applications might crash at +random if it is not set. +.PP +\&\fICRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid()\fR is used to create locks. It will call +dyn_create_function for the actual creation. +.PP +\&\fICRYPTO_destroy_dynlockid()\fR is used to destroy locks. It will call +dyn_destroy_function for the actual destruction. +.PP +\&\fICRYPTO_lock()\fR is used to lock and unlock the locks. mode is a bitfield +describing what should be done with the lock. n is the number of the +lock as returned from \fICRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid()\fR. mode can be combined +from the following values. These values are pairwise exclusive, with +undefined behaviour if misused (for example, \s-1CRYPTO_READ\s0 and \s-1CRYPTO_WRITE\s0 +should not be used together): +.PP +.Vb 4 +\& CRYPTO_LOCK 0x01 +\& CRYPTO_UNLOCK 0x02 +\& CRYPTO_READ 0x04 +\& CRYPTO_WRITE 0x08 +.Ve +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.IX Header "RETURN VALUES" +\&\fICRYPTO_num_locks()\fR returns the required number of locks. +.PP +\&\fICRYPTO_get_new_dynlockid()\fR returns the index to the newly created lock. +.PP +The other functions return no values. +.SH "NOTES" +.IX Header "NOTES" +You can find out if OpenSSL was configured with thread support: +.PP +.Vb 7 +\& #define OPENSSL_THREAD_DEFINES +\& #include <openssl/opensslconf.h> +\& #if defined(OPENSSL_THREADS) +\& // thread support enabled +\& #else +\& // no thread support +\& #endif +.Ve +.PP +Also, dynamic locks are currently not used internally by OpenSSL, but +may do so in the future. +.SH "EXAMPLES" +.IX Header "EXAMPLES" +\&\fBcrypto/threads/mttest.c\fR shows examples of the callback functions on +Solaris, Irix and Win32. +.SH "HISTORY" +.IX Header "HISTORY" +\&\fICRYPTO_set_locking_callback()\fR is +available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. +\&\fICRYPTO_num_locks()\fR was added in OpenSSL 0.9.4. +All functions dealing with dynamic locks were added in OpenSSL 0.9.5b\-dev. +\&\fB\s-1CRYPTO_THREADID\s0\fR and associated functions were introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.0 +to replace (actually, deprecate) the previous \fICRYPTO_set_id_callback()\fR, +\&\fICRYPTO_get_id_callback()\fR, and \fICRYPTO_thread_id()\fR functions which assumed +thread IDs to always be represented by 'unsigned long'. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fIcrypto\fR\|(3) |
