Summary: libobjc uses mutexes for properties
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: libobjc
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
ReportedBy: js-...@webkeks.org
In trunk, libobjc uses objc_mutex_t for properties. This means that each time
you set a property, a lock in kernelspace is acquired, though most of the time
there is not even a lock held and if it is only for a very short time.
As properties are used quite often, spinlock should be used here, as locks will
be a performance problem.
