At a low level, in iOS systems, locks are implemented using several main mechanisms:
- Mutexes (mutual exclusion) — ensure mutual exclusion, allowing only one thread to own a resource at a time.
- Semaphores — allow limiting the number of threads that can access a resource simultaneously.
- Spinlocks — locks that actively wait for a resource to be released, without going into sleep state.
- Atomic operations — operations that are performed atomically without interruptions, often used to implement lightweight locks.
In iOS, these mechanisms are implemented at the POSIX level (e.g., pthread_mutex_t) and through low-level APIs, as well as via high-level constructs like GCD (Grand Central Dispatch) and NSLock, which utilize these mechanisms under the hood.
