ICLRSyncManager::CreateRWLockOwnerIterator Method

Requests that the common language runtime (CLR) create an iterator for the host to use to determine the set of tasks waiting on a reader-writer lock.

HRESULT CreateRWLockOwnerIterator (
    [in]  SIZE_T    cookie,
    [out] SIZE_T   *pIterator
);

Parameters

Return Value

HRESULT

Description

S_OK

CreateRWLockOwnerIterator returned successfully.

HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE

The CLR has not been loaded into a process, or the CLR is in a state in which it cannot run managed code or process the call successfully.

HOST_E_TIMEOUT

The call timed out.

HOST_E_NOT_OWNER

The caller does not own the lock.

HOST_E_ABANDONED

An event was canceled while a blocked thread or fiber was waiting on it.

E_FAIL

An unknown catastrophic failure occurred. When a method returns E_FAIL, the CLR is no longer usable within the process. Subsequent calls to hosting methods return HOST_E_CLRNOTAVAILABLE.

HOST_E_INVALIDOPERATION

CreateRWLockOwnerIterator was called on a thread that is currently running managed code.

Remarks

Hosts typically call the CreateRWLockOwnerIterator, DeleteRWLockOwnerIterator, and GetRWLockOwnerNext methods during deadlock detection. The host is responsible for ensuring that the reader-writer lock is still valid, because the CLR makes no attempt to keep the reader-writer lock alive. Several strategies are available for the host to ensure the validity of the lock:

  • The host can block release calls on the reader-writer lock (for example, IHostSemaphore::ReleaseSemaphore) while ensuring that this block does not cause deadlock.

  • The host can block the exit from waiting on the event object associated with the reader-writer lock, again ensuring that this block does not cause deadlock.

NoteNote:

CreateRWLockOwnerIterator must be called only on threads that are currently executing unmanaged code.
