This ensures that there\nis only ever a single event dispatcher associated with a\ngiven thread.\n\nConsider e.g. the following series of events:\n\n1. thread 0 :: if (!data_->dispatcher_.load(std::memory_order_relaxed))\n               // reads nullptr and proceeds into the `if`'s block\n\n2. thread 1 :: if (!data_->dispatcher_.load(std::memory_order_relaxed))\n               // reads nullptr and proceeds into the `if`'s block\n\n3. thread 0 :: data_->dispatcher_.store(new EventDispatcherPoll(), std::memory_order_release);\n               // creates dispatcher and sets pointer\n\n4. thread 1 :: data_->dispatcher_.store(new EventDispatcherPoll(), std::memory_order_release);\n               // creates dispatcher and sets pointer\n\nAt the end, one of the event dispatchers is leaked, and\nfurthermore the `eventDispatcher()` calls might return\ndifferent values in the calling threads.\n\nSigned-off-by: Barnabás Pőcze <pobrn@protonmail.com>\n---\n src/libcamera/base/thread.cpp | 13 +++++++++----\n 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)\n\n--\n2.48.1",
