These * copies are identified by a global 'code index', an integer of 0, 1 or 2. * The code index is used as argument to code access structures like * export, module, beam_catches, beam_ranges. * * The current 'active' code index is used to access the current running * code. The 'staging' code index is used by the process that performs * a code change operation. When a code change operation completes * succesfully, the staging code index becomes the new active code index. * * The third code index is not explicitly used. It can be thought of as * the "previous active" or the "next staging" index. It is needed to make * sure that we do not reuse a code index for staging until we are sure * that no executing BIFs are still referencing it. * We could get by with only two (0 and 1), but that would require that we * must wait for all schedulers to re-schedule before each code change * operation can start staging. * * Note that the 'code index' is very loosely coupled to the concept of * 'current' and 'old' module versions. You can almost say that they are * orthogonal to each other. Code index is an emulator global concept while * 'current' and 'old' is specific for each module. */ #ifndef __CODE_IX_H__ #define __CODE_IX_H__ #ifndef __SYS_H__ # ifdef HAVE_CONFIG_H # include "config.h" # endif # include "sys.h" #endif struct process; #define ERTS_NUM_CODE_IX 3 typedef unsigned ErtsCodeIndex; /* Called once at emulator initialization. */ void erts_code_ix_init(void); /* Return active code index. * Is guaranteed to be valid until the calling BIF returns. * To get a consistent view of the code, only one call to erts_active_code_ix() * should be made and the returned ix reused within the same BIF call. */ ERTS_GLB_INLINE ErtsCodeIndex erts_active_code_ix(void); /* Return staging code ix. * Only used by a process performing code loading/upgrading/deleting/purging. * Code write permission must be seized. */ ERTS_GLB_INLINE ErtsCodeIndex erts_staging_code_ix(void); /* Try seize exclusive code write permission.
