+/* Return an a pointer to an allocated and initialized data structure.
+ If this function returns a non-NULL value, the caller can assume
+ that pointed-to data has been initialized according to the ALLOCATE
+ function.
+
+ It is expected that callers define an inline helper function which
+ adds type safety, like this.
+
+ struct foo { ... };
+ struct foo *global_foo;
+ static void *allocate_foo (void *closure);
+ static void *deallocate_foo (void *closure, void *ptr);
+
+ static inline struct foo *
+ get_foo (void)
+ {
+ return allocate_once (&global_foo, allocate_foo, free_foo, NULL);
+ }
+
+ (Note that the global_foo variable is initialized to zero.)
+ Usage of this helper function looks like this:
+
+ struct foo *local_foo = get_foo ();
+ if (local_foo == NULL)
+ report_allocation_failure ();
+
+ allocate_once first performs an acquire MO load on *PLACE. If the
+ result is not null, it is returned. Otherwise, ALLOCATE (CLOSURE)
+ is called, yielding a value RESULT. If RESULT equals NULL,
+ allocate_once returns NULL, and does not modify *PLACE (but another
+ thread may concurrently perform an allocation which succeeds,
+ updating *PLACE). If RESULT does not equal NULL, the function uses
+ a CAS with acquire-release MO to update the NULL value in *PLACE
+ with the RESULT value. If it turns out that *PLACE was updated
+ concurrently, allocate_once calls DEALLOCATE (CLOSURE, RESULT) to
+ undo the effect of ALLOCATE, and returns the new value of *PLACE
+ (after an acquire MO load). If DEALLOCATE is NULL, free (RESULT)
+ is called instead.
+
+ Compared to __libc_once, allocate_once has the advantage that it
+ does not need separate space for a control variable, and that it is
+ safe with regards to cancellation and other forms of exception
+ handling if the supplied callback functions are safe in that
+ regard. allocate_once passes a closure parameter to the allocation
+ function, too. */
