// cr_hold_ctrl()
// THIS FUNCTION IS EXPERIMENTAL: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
//
// Controls post-callback hold behavior.
//
// By default, all threads of a process are "held" at a thread barrier
// following the running of all registered callbacks. A thread which is
// held at this barrier will not resume normal execution after a checkpoint
// is written (CONTinue) or is resumed from (ReSTaRT) until all callbacks
// registered in all threads have run to completion. However, this hold
// is optional, and a thread may be allowed to resume normal execution
// immediately after its own callbacks (if any) have completed.
//
// There are two global hold flags variables, plus each thread which has
// called cr_init() has a thread-local hold flags variable.
// Calls to cr_hold_ctrl() access one of these variables as determined by the
// 'scope' argument:
// CR_HOLD_SCOPE_THREAD This 'scope' value accesses the thread-local hold
// flags for the calling thread.
// CR_HOLD_SCOPE_INIT This 'scope' value accesses the hold flags for
// threads that *have* called cr_init(), but have
// a thread-local hold flags value of CR_HOLD_DFLT.
// CR_HOLD_SCOPE_UNINIT This 'scope' value accesses the hold flags for
// threads that have *not* called cr_init().
//
// The value of 'flags' may be any of the following:
// CR_HOLD_NONE Equal to zero.
// If 'flags' has this value then the effected thread(s)
// will not be held: they will resume normal execution
// as soon as their own callbacks (if any) have completed.
// CR_HOLD_CONT If set to this value, then the effected thread(s) will
// be held after a checkpoint is taken (corresponding to
// the CONTINUE branch of a callback) until all callbacks
// have run to completion.
// CR_HOLD_RSTRT If set to this value, then the effected thread(s) will
// be held after resuming from a checkpoint (corresponding
// to the RESTART branch of a callback) until all
// callbacks have run to completion.
// CR_HOLD_BOTH Equal to (CR_HOLD_CONT | CR_HOLD_RSTRT)
// The effected thread(s) are held on both the CONTINUE
// and RESTART paths.
// CR_HOLD_READ The current value of the hold flags variable selected
// by 'scope' is read and returned, but is not modified.
// CR_HOLD_DFLT This is valid only when 'scope'==CR_HOLD_SCOPE_THREAD.
// This value for 'flags' disables the thread-specific
// value, ensuring that the CR_HOLD_SCOPE_INIT hold flags
// variable will be used for the calling thread.
//
// Default values before any calls to cr_hold_ctrl() are:
// For CR_HOLD_SCOPE_THREAD: CR_HOLD_DFLT (defers to CR_HOLD_SCOPE_INIT).
// For CR_HOLD_SCOPE_INIT: CR_HOLD_BOTH
// For CR_HOLD_SCOPE_UNINIT: CR_HOLD_BOTH
//
// Returns previous value of selected hold flags on success, -1 on failure.
// Most likely errno values when returning -1:
// CR_ENOINIT Calling thread has not called cr_init()
// EINVAL Invalid 'scope' or 'flags' argument.
//
// This function maybe called from any thread which has previously called
// cr_init() (this includes any thread created by libcr to run callback in
// thread context).
//
// If invoking cr_hold_ctrl() from a callback, please NOTE:
// + Calls made before the call to cr_checkpoint() and/or with a 'scope' of
// CR_HOLD_SCOPE_THREAD are safe, and any value set will be used beginning
// with the barrier following the active checkpoint or restart.
// + The remaining case (non-THREAD 'scope' after calling cr_checkpoint()),
// is legal, but discouraged. Unless some coordination among threads is
// implemented outside of libcr, there is no guarantee in such a case
// as to which threads will observe the old or new value.
//
// This routine is both thread-safe and reentrant (signal-safe).
//
// NOTE:
// The default hold behavior in the BLCR 0.7.X series differs from that in
// the 0.6.X series. In 0.6.X threads that had not called cr_init() were
// not held at the thread barrier. In 0.7.X a call to
// cr_hold_ctrl(CR_HOLD_SCOPE_UNINIT, CR_HOLD_NONE);
// will restore the 0.6.X behavior for those applications that require it.

// THESE FUNCTIONS ARE EXPERIMENTAL: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
//
// Increment/decrement TLD use count
//
// Calls to cr_init() create thread-local data (TLD). Normally this TLD
// is freed automatically when a pthread exits or is canceled. However,
// the POSIX threads specification leaves undefined the order in which
// TLD destructors are run. This creates the possibility that a libcr
// function which requires a cr_init() call as a prerequisite could fail
// with errno=CR_ENOINIT if invoked from a client-provided TLD destructor.
//
// This pair of functions allow a client to increment and decrement a
// use count associated with the calling thread's libcr TLD. This count
// begins at zero and the TLD can only be destroyed when the value is zero.
//
// Typical use of these function include a call to cr_inc_persist() before
// a client thread's first call to pthread_setspecific() for any key that
// has a destructor that invokes libcr functions (perhaps indirectly).
// This call should be made once per-key, per-thread - it should not be
// called for each pthread_setspecific(). Once the call has been made to
// increment the use count, the TLD will not be destroyed until after an
// equal number of calls to cr_dec_persist() in the same thread return the
// count to zero. Therefore, the recommended use is to call cr_dec_persist()
// in the TLD destructor which invokes libcr functions. A call to
// cr_dec_persist() which returns the use count to zero only makes the TLD
// eligible for destruction at thread exit, but will not immediately destroy
// it. Therefore, one may call cr_dec_persist() at any time the need for
// TLD persistence ends.
//
// Note that failure to balance cr_inc_persist() calls from one thread with
// an equal number of cr_dec_persist() calls from the same thread will result
// in a memory leak of approximately 5KB per exited thread.
//
// Returns previous value of the use count on success, -1 on failure.
// On failure the use count is unchanged.
//
// Most likely errno values when returning -1:
// CR_ENOINIT Calling thread has not called cr_init()
// ERANGE The requested inc/dec would cause over/underflow
//
// These functions are not reentrant - do not call them from signal context.
