\section{Synopsis}
|
|
|
|
\File{\#include $<$libunwind.h$>$}\\
|
|
|
|
\Type{int} \Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}(\Type{unw\_addr\_space\_t} \Var{as}, \Type{unw\_caching_policy\_t} \Var{policy});\\
|
|

|
\section{Description}
|
|
|
|
The \Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}() routine sets the caching policy
|
|
of address space \Var{as} to the policy specified by argument
|
|
\Var{policy}. The \Var{policy} argument can take one of three
|
|
possible values:
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[\Const{UNW\_CACHE\_NONE}] Turns off caching completely. This
|
|
also implicitly flushes the contents of all caches as if
|
|
\Func{unw\_flush\_cache}() had been called.
|
|
\item[\Const{UNW\_CACHE\_GLOBAL}] Enables caching using a global cache
|
|
that is shared by all threads. If global caching is unavailable or
|
|
unsupported, \Prog{libunwind} may fall back on using a per-thread
|
|
cache, as if \Const{UNW\_CACHE\_PER\_THREAD} had been specified.
|
|
\item[\Const{UNW\_CACHE\_PER\_THREAD}] Enables caching using
|
|
thread-local caches. If a thread-local caching are unavailable or
|
|
unsupported, \Prog{libunwind} may fall back on using a global cache,
|
|
as if \Const{UNW\_CACHE\_GLOBAL} had been specified.
|
|
\end{description}
|
|
|
|
If caching is enabled, an application must be prepared to make
|
|
appropriate calls to \Func{unw\_flush\_cache}() whenever the target
|
|
changes in a way that could affect the validity of cached information.
|
|
For example, after unloading (removing) a shared library,
|
|
\Func{unw\_flush\_cache}() would have to be called (at least) for the
|
|
address-range that was covered by the shared library.
|
|
|
|
For address spaces created via \Func{unw\_create\_addr\_space}(3),
|
|
caching is turned off by default. For the local address space
|
|
\Func{unw\_local\_addr\_space}, caching is turned on by default.
|
|
|
|
\section{Return Value}
|
|
|
|
On successful completion, \Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}() returns 0.
|
|
Otherwise the negative value of one of the error-codes below is
|
|
returned.
|
|
|
|
\section{Thread and Signal Safety}
|
|
|
|
\Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}() is thread-safe but \emph{not} safe
|
|
to use from a signal handler.
|
|
|
|
\section{Errors}
|
|
|
|
\begin{Description}
|
|
\item[\Const{UNW\_ENOMEM}] The desired caching policy could not be
|
|
established because the application is out of memory.
|
|
