+/* This file defines a way to optimize multithreaded code for the single-thread
+   case, based on the variable '__libc_single_threaded', defined in
+   glibc >= 2.32.  */
+
+/* Typical use: In a block or function, use
+
+     bool mt = gl_multithreaded ();
+     ...
+     if (mt)
+       if (pthread_mutex_lock (&lock)) abort ();
+     ...
+     if (mt)
+       if (pthread_mutex_unlock (&lock)) abort ();
+
+   The gl_multithreaded () invocation determines whether the program currently
+   is multithreaded.
+
+   if (mt) STATEMENT executes STATEMENT in the multithreaded case, and skips
+   it in the single-threaded case.
+
+   The code between the gl_multithreaded () invocation and any use of the
+   variable 'mt' must not create threads or invoke functions that may
+   indirectly create threads (e.g. 'dlopen' may, indirectly through C++
+   initializers of global variables in the shared library being opened,
+   create threads).
+
+   The lock here is meant to synchronize threads in the same process.  The
+   same optimization cannot be applied to locks that synchronize different
+   processes (e.g. through shared memory mappings).  */
