Here are the diffs for libc_r to get it one step closer to P1003.1c These make most of the thread/mutex/condvar structures opaque to the user. There are three functions which have been renamed with _np suffixes because they are extensions to P1003.1c (I did them for JAVA, which needs to suspend/resume threads and also start threads suspended). I've created a new header (pthread_np.h) for the non-POSIX stuff. The egrep tags stuff in /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile that I uncommented doesn't work. I think its best to delete it. I don't think libc_r needs tags anyway, 'cause most of the source is in libc which does have tags. also: Here's the first batch of man pages for the thread functions. The diff to /usr/src/lib/libc_r/Makefile removes some stuff that was inherited from /usr/src/lib/libc/Makefile that should only be done with libc. also: I should have sent this diff with the pthread(3) man page. It allows people to type make -DWANT_LIBC_R world to get libc_r built with the rest of the world. I put this in the pthread(3) man page. The default is still not to build libc_r. also: The diff attached adds a pthread(3) man page to /usr/src/share/man/man3. The idea is that without libc_r installed, this man page will give people enough info to know that they have to build libc_r.

.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm pthread_exit
|
|
.Nd terminate the calling thread
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <pthread.h>
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn pthread_exit "void *value_ptr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_exit
|
|
function terminates the calling thread and makes the value
|
|
.Fa value_ptr
|
|
available to any successful join with the terminating thread. Any
|
|
cancellation cleanup handlers that have been pushed and are not yet popped
|
|
are popped in the reverse order that they were pushed and then executed.
|
|
After all cancellation handlers have been executed, if the thread has any
|
|
thread-specific data, appropriate destructor functions are called in an
|
|
unspecified order. Thread termination does not release any application
|
|
visible process resources, including, but not limited to, mutexes and
|
|
file descriptors, nor does it perform any process level cleanup
|
|
actions, including, but not limited to, calling
|
|
.Fn atexit
|
|
routines that may exist.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
An implicit call to
|
|
.Fn pthread_exit
|
|
is made when a thread other than the thread in which
|
|
.Fn main
|
|
was first invoked returns from the start routine that was used to create
|
|
it. The function's return value serves as the thread's exit status.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The behavior of
|
|
.Fn pthread_exit
|
|
is undefied if called from a cancellation handler or destructor function
|
|
that was invoked as the result of an implicit or explicit call to
|
|
.Fn pthread_exit .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After a thread has terminated, the result of access to local (auto)
|
|
variables of the thread is undefined. Thus, references to local variables
|
|
of the exiting thread should not be used for the
|
|
.Fn pthread_exit
|
|
.Fa value_ptr
|
|
parameter value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The process will exit with an exit status of 0 after the last thread has
|
|
been terminated. The behavior is as if the implementation called
|
|
.Fn exit
|
|
with a zero argument at thread termination time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_exit
|
|
function cannot return to its caller.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
None.
