/* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * (c) The GHC Team, 2001-2006 * * Capabilities * * The notion of a capability is used when operating in multi-threaded * environments (which the THREADED_RTS build of the RTS does), to * hold all the state an OS thread/task needs to run Haskell code: * its STG registers, a pointer to its TSO, a nursery etc. During * STG execution, a pointer to the capabilitity is kept in a * register (BaseReg). * * Only in an THREADED_RTS build will there be multiple capabilities, * in the non-threaded builds there is one global capability, namely * MainCapability. * * This header file contains the functions for working with capabilities. * (the main, and only, consumer of this interface is the scheduler). * * --------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef CAPABILITY_H #define CAPABILITY_H #include "RtsFlags.h" #include "Task.h" struct Capability_ { // State required by the STG virtual machine when running Haskell // code.
