| // Core components of the Protocol Buffers runtime library. |
| // |
| // The files in this package represent the core of the Protocol Buffer |
| // system. All of them are part of the libprotobuf library. |
| // |
| // A note on thread-safety: |
| // |
| // Thread-safety in the Protocol Buffer library follows a simple rule: |
| // unless explicitly noted otherwise, it is always safe to use an object |
| // from multiple threads simultaneously as long as the object is declared |
| // const in all threads (or, it is only used in ways that would be allowed |
| // if it were declared const). However, if an object is accessed in one |
| // thread in a way that would not be allowed if it were const, then it is |
| // not safe to access that object in any other thread simultaneously. |
| // |
| // Put simply, read-only access to an object can happen in multiple threads |
| // simultaneously, but write access can only happen in a single thread at |
| // a time. |
| // |
| // The implementation does contain some "const" methods which actually modify |
| // the object behind the scenes -- e.g., to cache results -- but in these cases |
| // mutex locking is used to make the access thread-safe. |
