NAME

       SbStorage -

       The SbStorage class manages thread-local memory.

       This class manages thread-local memory. When different threads access the memory an SbStorage object manages, they will receive different
       memory blocks back.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Inventor/threads/SbStorage.h>

Detailed Description
       The SbStorage class manages thread-local memory.

       This class manages thread-local memory. When different threads access the memory an SbStorage object manages, they will receive different
       memory blocks back.

       This provides a mechanism for sharing read/write static data.

       One important implementation detail: if the Coin library was explicitly configured to be built without multi-platform thread abstractions,
       or neither pthreads nor native Win32 thread functions are available, it will be assumed that the client code will all run in the same
       thread. This means that the same memory block will be returned for any request without considering the current thread id.

Constructor &; Destructor Documentation
   SbStorage::SbStorage (unsigned intsize) [inline]
       Constructor. size specifies the number of bytes each thread should have in this thread-local memory management object.

   SbStorage::~SbStorage (void) [inline]
       The destructor.

Member Function Documentation
   void * SbStorage::get (void) [inline]
       This method returns the calling thread's thread-local memory block.

   void SbStorage::applyToAll (SbStorageApplyFunc *func, void *closure) [inline]
       This method will call func for all thread local storage data. closure will be supplied as the second parameter to the callback.

NAME

       Portable Threads Abstraction Classes -

   Classes
       class SbBarrier
           The SbBarrier class implements the 'barrier' multi-thread synchronization technique.

       A barrier is a synchronization mechanism that is used for blocking threads as they enter the barrier until a given number of threads are
       blocked, at which point all the threads are released again. "
   class SbCondVar
       A class for synchronizing access to global variables.

       Condition variables are used to protect global variables in an environment where multiple threads are running concurrently. "
   class SbFifo
       A class for managing a pointer first-in, first-out queue.
   class SbMutex
       A basic class for managing a mutex.

       This class provides a portable framework around the mutex interface of the underlying native thread-handling toolkit. "
   class SbThreadAutoLock
       Simple convenience class for locking access to a function.

       This class provides a simple convenience mechanism for automatically locking access to a function that is not re-entrant. "
   class SbRWMutex
   class SbStorage
       The SbStorage class manages thread-local memory.

       This class manages thread-local memory. When different threads access the memory an SbStorage object manages, they will receive different
       memory blocks back. "
   class SbTypedStorage< Type >
       The SbTypedStorage class manages generic thread-local memory.

       This class manages thread-local memory. When different threads access the memory an SbTypedStorage object manages, they will receive
       different memory blocks back. "
   class SbThread
       A class for managing threads.

       This class provides a portable framework around the tasks of instantiating, starting, stopping and joining threads. "

Detailed Description
       Coin implements a set of abstractions over the native threads data types that can be portably used across all the platforms Coin has been
       ported to.
