62 * Description
63 * Threads act almost like processes, but unlike processes all threads of
64 * one process share the same memory. This is good, as it provides easy
65 * communication between the involved threads via this shared memory, and
66 * it is bad, because strange things (so called "Heisenbugs") might
67 * happen if the program is not carefully designed. In particular, due to
68 * the concurrent nature of threads, no assumptions on the order of
69 * execution of code running in different threads can be made, unless
70 * order is explicitly forced by the programmer through synchronization
71 * primitives.
72 * The aim of the thread related functions in GLib is to provide a
73 * portable means for writing multi-threaded software. There are
74 * primitives for mutexes to protect the access to portions of memory
75 * (GMutex, GStaticMutex, G_LOCK_DEFINE, GStaticRecMutex and
76 * GStaticRWLock). There are primitives for condition variables to allow
77 * synchronization of threads (GCond). There are primitives
78 * for thread-private data - data that every thread has a private instance of
79 * (GPrivate, GStaticPrivate). Last but definitely not least there are
80 * primitives to portably create and manage threads (GThread).
81 * You must call g_thread_init() before executing any other GLib
82 * functions in a threaded GLib program. After that, GLib is completely
83 * thread safe (all global data is automatically locked), but individual
84 * data structure instances are not automatically locked for performance
85 * reasons. So, for example you must coordinate accesses to the same
86 * GHashTable from multiple threads. The two notable exceptions from
87 * this rule are GMainLoop and GAsyncQueue,
88 * which are threadsafe and needs no further
89 * application-level locking to be accessed from multiple threads.

194 * is good practice to hold the same lock as the waiting thread while
195 * calling this function, though not required.

210 * this function, though not required.

246 * and g_time_val_add() can be used.
