ck_epoch_recycle — return an epoch record that may be used by caller

       The  ck_epoch_recycle(3) function attempts to return an unused epoch record object for use by the caller.
       These epoch records were associated with previous calls to the ck_epoch_unregister(3) function.

       Behavior is undefined if the object pointed to by epoch is not a valid epoch object.

             #include <ck_epoch.h>
             #include <stdlib.h>

             /*
              * epoch was previously initialized with ck_epoch_init.
              */
             ck_epoch_t *epoch;

             void
             function(void)
             {
                     ck_epoch_record_t *record;

                     record = ck_epoch_recycle(&epoch);
                     if (record == NULL) {
                             record = malloc(sizeof *record);
                             if (record == NULL)
                                     return;

                             ck_epoch_register(&epoch, record, NULL);
                     }

                     /*
                      * After we are done, we will unregister the record so it
                      * can be used by other new participants in the epoch system
                      * provided by the object pointed to by "epoch".
                      */
                     ck_epoch_unregister(&epoch, record);
                     return;
             }

       ck_epoch_recycle — return an epoch record that may be used by caller

       This function returns a pointer to a ck_epoch_record_t object. If  no  unused  record  was  found  to  be
       associated with the object pointed to by epoch, then the function will return NULL.
