# One can get runtime errors or even segfaults due to multiple OpenMP libraries
# loaded simultaneously which can happen easily in Python when importing and
# using compiled extensions built with different compilers and therefore
# different OpenMP runtimes in the same program. In particular libiomp (used by
# Intel ICC) and libomp used by clang/llvm tend to crash. This can happen for
# instance when calling BLAS inside a prange. Setting the following environment
# variable allows multiple OpenMP libraries to be loaded. It should not degrade
# performances since we manually take care of potential over-subscription
# performance issues, in sections of the code where nested OpenMP loops can
# happen, by dynamically reconfiguring the inner OpenMP runtime to temporarily
# disable it while under the scope of the outer OpenMP parallel section.

    """Abstract base class for the individual library controllers

    A library controller must expose the following class attributes:
        - user_api : str
            Usually the name of the library or generic specification the library
            implements, e.g. "blas" is a specification with different implementations.
        - internal_api : str
            Usually the name of the library or concrete implementation of some
            specification, e.g. "openblas" is an implementation of the "blas"
            specification.
        - filename_prefixes : tuple
            Possible prefixes of the shared library's filename that allow to
            identify the library. e.g. "libopenblas" for libopenblas.so.

    and implement the following methods: `get_num_threads`, `set_num_threads` and
    `get_version`.

    Threadpoolctl loops through all the loaded shared libraries and tries to match
    the filename of each library with the `filename_prefixes`. If a match is found, a
    controller is instantiated and a handler to the library is stored in the `dynlib`
    attribute as a `ctypes.CDLL` object. It can be used to access the necessary symbols
    of the shared library to implement the above methods.

    The following information will be exposed in the info dictionary:
      - user_api : standardized API, if any, or a copy of internal_api.
      - internal_api : implementation-specific API.
      - num_threads : the current thread limit.
      - prefix : prefix of the shared library's filename.
      - filepath : path to the loaded shared library.
      - version : version of the library (if available).

    In addition, each library controller may expose internal API specific entries. They
    must be set as attributes in the `set_additional_attributes` method.
