/* Proof of correctness:
* num_threads is incremented and then decremented by some threads.
Therefore, num_threads always stays >= 0, and is == 0 at the end.
* The 'done' word, once > 0, stays > 0 (since it is never assigned 0).
* The 'done' word is changed from == 0 to > 0 only while the lock
is taken. Therefore, only the first thread that succeeds in taking
the lock executes the initfunction and sets the 'done' word to a
value > 0; the other threads that take the lock do no side effects
between taking and releasing the lock.
* The 'done' word does not change any more once it is 2.
Therefore, it can be changed from 1 to 2 only once.
* pthread_mutex_destroy gets invoked right after 'done' has been changed
from 1 to 2. Therefore, pthread_mutex_destroy gets invoked only once.
* After a moment where num_threads was 0 and done was > 0, no thread can
reach the pthread_mutex_lock invocation. Proof:
- At such a moment, no thread is in the code range between
state_p->num_threads += 1
and
state_p->num_threads -= 1
- After such a moment, some thread can increment num_threads, but from
there they cannot reach the pthread_mutex_lock invocation, because the
if (state_p->done == 0)
test prevents that.
* From this it follows that:
- pthread_mutex_destroy cannot be executed while the lock is taken
(because pthread_mutex_destroy is only executed after a moment where
num_threads was 0 and done was > 0).
- Once pthread_mutex_destroy has been executed, the lock is not used any
more.
