unicorn/tests/regress/threaded_emu_start.c

/*
Test for uc_open() and uc_emu_start() being called by different threads.

This code will call uc_open() in the main thread and then attempt
to call uc_emu_start() from its own thread. This would enable the emulator
to run in the background while you do other things like handle user interface
etc in the foreground.

Currently "uc->qemu_global_mutex" is locked by uc_open() and unlocked
by uc_emu_start(). This is a problem because the mutex implementation
must be locked and unlocked by the same thread. This means that uc_open()
and uc_emu_start() must be executed in the same thread. This is an unnecessary
limitation which prevents the emulator from being able to be executed in the
background.
