<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p>Include the header &lt;<a href="../../../boost/thread/once.hpp">boost/thread/once.hpp</a>&gt;
to define the <code>call_once</code> function, <code>once_flag</code> type and
<code>BOOST_ONCE_INIT</code> constant.</p>
<p>The <code>call_once</code> function and <code>once_flag</code> type (statically
initialized to <code>BOOST_ONCE_INIT</code>) can be used to run a routine exactly
once. This can be used to initialize data in a <a href="definitions.html#Thread-safe">
thread-safe</a> manner.</p>
<h2><a name="macros"></a>Macros</h2>
<pre>
<a name="macro-BOOST_ONCE_INIT"></a>#define BOOST_ONCE_INIT <i>implementation defined</i>
</pre>
<p>This is a constant value used to initialize <code>once_flag</code> instances
to indicate that the logically associated routine has not been run yet.</p>
<h2><a name="types"></a>Types</h2>
<pre>
<a name="type-once_flag"></a>typedef <i>implementation defined</i> once_flag;
</pre>
<p>This implementation defined type is used as a flag to insure a routine is called
only once. Instances of this type should be statically initialized to <code>BOOST_ONCE_INIT</code>.</p>
<h2><a name="functions"></a>Functions</h2>
<pre>
<a name="function-call_once"></a>void call_once(void (*func)(), once_flag& flag);
</pre>
<dl class="function-semantics">
<dt><b>Requires:</b> The function <code>func</code> shall not throw exceptions.</dt>
<dt><b>Effects:</b> As if (in an atomic fashion):
<pre>
if (flag == BOOST_ONCE_INIT)
func();
</pre>
</dt>
<dt><b>Postconditions:</b> <code>flag != BOOST_ONCE_INIT</code></dt>
</dl>
