#include
<ck_epoch.h>
bool
ck_epoch_poll(ck_epoch_record_t
*record);
The
ck_epoch_poll(3)
function will attempt to dispatch any functions associated with the object
pointed to by epoch via
ck_epoch_call(3)
if deemed safe. This function is meant to be used in cases epoch reclamation
cost must be amortized over time in a manner that does not affect caller
progress.
This function will return true if at least one function was dispatched. This function will return false if it has determined not all threads have observed the latest generation of epoch-protected objects. Neither value indicates an error.
Behavior is undefined if the object pointed to by
record has not have been previously registered via
ck_epoch_register(3).
