We’ve previously discussed integer barriers, integer queues, and integer wait groups as tiny concurrency utilities. Next let’s tackle “once” initialization, i.e. pthread_once, using an integer. We’ll need only three basic atomic operations — store, load, and increment — and futex wait/wake. It will be zero-initialized and the entire source small enough to fit on an old-fashioned terminal display. The interface will also get an overhaul, more to my own tastes.
