\begin{Name}{3}{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}{David Mosberger-Tang}{Programming Library}{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}unw\_set\_caching\_policy -- set unwind caching policy
\end{Name}
\section{Synopsis}
\File{\#include $<$libunwind.h$>$}\\
\Type{int} \Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}(\Type{unw\_addr\_space\_t} \Var{as}, \Type{unw\_caching\_policy\_t} \Var{policy});\\
\section{Description}
The \Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}() routine sets the caching policy
of address space \Var{as} to the policy specified by argument
\Var{policy}. The \Var{policy} argument can take one of three
possible values:
\begin{description}
\item[\Const{UNW\_CACHE\_NONE}] Turns off caching completely. This
also implicitly flushes the contents of all caches as if
\Func{unw\_flush\_cache}() had been called.
\item[\Const{UNW\_CACHE\_GLOBAL}] Enables caching using a global cache
that is shared by all threads. If global caching is unavailable or
unsupported, \Prog{libunwind} may fall back on using a per-thread
cache, as if \Const{UNW\_CACHE\_PER\_THREAD} had been specified.
\item[\Const{UNW\_CACHE\_PER\_THREAD}] Enables caching using
thread-local caches. If a thread-local caching are unavailable or
unsupported, \Prog{libunwind} may fall back on using a global cache,
as if \Const{UNW\_CACHE\_GLOBAL} had been specified.
\end{description}
If caching is enabled, an application must be prepared to make
appropriate calls to \Func{unw\_flush\_cache}() whenever the target
changes in a way that could affect the validity of cached information.
For example, after unloading (removing) a shared library,
\Func{unw\_flush\_cache}() would have to be called (at least) for the
address-range that was covered by the shared library.
For address spaces created via \Func{unw\_create\_addr\_space}(3),
caching is turned off by default. For the local address space
\Func{unw\_local\_addr\_space}, caching is turned on by default.
\section{Return Value}
On successful completion, \Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}() returns 0.
Otherwise the negative value of one of the error-codes below is
returned.
\section{Thread and Signal Safety}
\Func{unw\_set\_caching\_policy}() is thread-safe but \emph{not} safe
to use from a signal handler.
\section{Errors}
\begin{Description}
\item[\Const{UNW\_ENOMEM}] The desired caching policy could not be
established because the application is out of memory.
