ck_epoch_begin — begin epoch-protected segment of execution
Contents
Description
The ck_epoch_begin(3) function will mark the beginning of an epoch-protected code section. An epoch-
protected code section is delimited by a call to the ck_epoch_end(3) function. Though recursion is
allowed for epoch-protected sections, recursive calls will be associated with the ck_epoch_begin(3) that
is at the top of the call stack. If a section is passed, then recursion on a record will cause the epoch
to be refreshed on entry of every protected section.
Errors
The object pointed to by epoch must have been previously initiated via ck_epoch_init(3). The object
pointed to by record must have been previously registered via ck_epoch_register(3).
