Therefore, num_threads always stays >= 0, and is == 0 at the end. * The first thread to go through the once_control->started fence initializes the lock and moves inited from <= 0 to > 0. The other threads don't move inited from <= 0 to > 0. * started, once == 0, stays == 0. * inited, once > 0, stays > 0 (since at the place where it is assigned 0, it cannot be > 0). * inited does not change any more once it is 2. Therefore, it can be changed from 1 to 2 only once. * DeleteCriticalSection gets invoked right after inited has been changed from 1 to 2. Therefore, DeleteCriticalSection gets invoked only once. * After a moment where num_threads was 0 and started was 0 and inited was > 0, no thread can reach an InitializeCriticalSection or EnterCriticalSection invocation. Proof: - At such a moment, no thread is in the code range between InterlockedIncrement (&once_control->num_threads) and InterlockedDecrement (&once_control->num_threads) - After such a moment, some thread can increment num_threads, but from there they cannot reach the InitializeCriticalSection invocation, because the once_control->started test prevents that, and they cannot reach the EnterCriticalSection invocation in the other branch because the if (once_control->inited <= 0) test prevents that. * From this it follows that: - DeleteCriticalSection cannot be executed while the lock is taken (because DeleteCriticalSection is only executed after a moment where num_threads was 0 and started was 0 and inited was > 0). - Once DeleteCriticalSection has been executed, the lock is not used any more. */ }
