//
// This file contains the syncronization utilities used by dyld to be thread safe.
// Access to all dyld data structures is protected by a reader-writer lock.
// This lock allows multiple "reader" threads to access dyld data structures at
// the same time.  If there is a "writer" thread, it is the only thread allowed
// access to dyld data structures.  
//
// The implementation of all dyld API's must acquire the global lock around accesses
// to dyld's data structures.  This is done using the macros DYLD_*_LOCK_THIS_BLOCK.
// Example:
//
//  void dyld_api_modifying_dyld() {
//		DYLD_WRITER_LOCK_THIS_BLOCK;
//		// free to do stuff here 
//		// that modifies dyld data structures
//	}
//
//  void dyld_api_examinging_dyld() {
//		DYLD_READER_LOCK_THIS_BLOCK
//		// can only do stuff here 
//		// that examines but does not modify dyld data structures
//	}
//
//  void dyld_api_state_free() {
//		DYLD_NO_LOCK_THIS_BLOCK
//		// can only do stuff here 
//		// that does not require locking
//	}
//
