Christopher Faulet 339fff8a18 MEDIUM: threads: Adds a set of functions to handle sync-point ... A sync-point is a protected area where you have the warranty that no concurrency access is possible. It is implementated as a thread barrier to enter in the sync-point and another one to exit from it. Inside the sync-point, all threads that must do some syncrhonous processing will be called one after the other while all other threads will wait. All threads will then exit from the sync-point at the same time. A sync-point will be evaluated only when necessary because it is a costly operation. To limit the waiting time of each threads, we must have a mechanism to wakeup all threads. This is done with a pipe shared by all threads. By writting in this pipe, we will interrupt all threads blocked on a poller. The pipe is then flushed before exiting from the sync-point.		2017-10-31 13:58:29 +01:00
