B<file> and B<line> are the file number of the function setting the
lock. They can be useful for debugging.
id_function(void) is a function that returns a thread ID. It is not
needed on Windows nor on platforms where getpid() returns a different
ID for each thread (most notably Linux).
id_function(void) is a function that returns a thread ID, for
instance, pthread_self(). It is not, needed on Windows nor on
platforms where getpid() returns a different ID for each thread.
However, even on those platforms, pthread_self() should be used, since
the behavior of getpid() may depend on the machine where the program
is being run, not the machine where the program is being compiled.
(For instance, Red Hat 8 Linux and earlier used LinuxThreads, whose
getpid() returns a different value for each thread; Red Hat 9 Linux
and later use NPTL, which is Posix-conformant, and thus whose getpid()
returns the same value for all threads in a process. But a program
compiled on Red Hat 8 and run on Red Hat 9 will by default see
getpid() returning the same value for all threads.)
Additionally, OpenSSL supports dynamic locks, and sometimes, some parts
of OpenSSL need it for better performance. To enable this, the following
