US 12,737,164 B2 · Cross-platform mutual exclusion

Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are disclosed for generating, from platform-agnostic source code, platform-specific code to efficiently implement mutual exclusion. Platform-agnostic source code includes a first block of code associated with a first implementation-agnostic context that is structured to cause instances of the first block of code to execute in isolation from other instances of code associated with the first implementation-agnostic context. A mutual exclusion implementation is determined for efficient implementation of mutual exclusion on a target platform. Platform-specific code is generated for the target platform to execute instances of the first block of code in isolation from other instances of code associated with the first implementation-agnostic context based on the determined mutual exclusion implementation.

receiving platform-agnostic source code of an application, the platform-agnostic source code comprising a first block of code associated with a first implementation-agnostic context, the first implementation-agnostic context structured to cause instances of the first block of code to execute in isolation from other instances of code associated with the first implementation-agnostic context;
determining a target platform to execute the application;
determining a mutual exclusion implementation for the target platform;
generating, based on the determined mutual exclusion implementation, platform-specific code to execute instances of the first block of code in isolation from other instances of code associated with the first implementation-agnostic context;
and
executing the first block of code.
