This basically adds makes use of the C99 restrict keyword, and also adds some 'const's to four threading functions: pthread_mutexattr_gettype(), pthread_mutexattr_getprioceiling(), pthread_mutexattr_getprotocol(), and pthread_mutex_getprioceiling. The changes are in accordance to POSIX/SUSv4-2018. Hinted by: DragonFlyBSD Relnotes: yes MFC after: 1 month Differential Revision: D16722

.Sh NAME

|
|
.Nd "destroy, initialize or wait on a barrier object"
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|

|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In pthread.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy "pthread_barrier_t *barrier"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_init "pthread_barrier_t *restrict barrier" "const pthread_barrierattr_t *attr" "unsigned count"
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_wait "pthread_barrier_t *barrier"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_init
|
|
function will initialize
|
|
.Fa barrier
|
|
with attributes specified in
|
|
.Fa attr ,
|
|
or if it is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
with default attributes.
|
|
The number of threads that must call
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_wait
|
|
before any of the waiting threads can be
|
|
released is specified by
|
|
.Fa count .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy
|
|
function will destroy
|
|
.Fa barrier
|
|
and release any resources that may have been allocated on its behalf.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_wait
|
|
function will synchronize calling threads at
|
|
.Fa barrier .
|
|
The threads will be blocked from
|
|
making further progress until
|
|
a sufficient number of threads calls this function.
|
|
The number of threads that must call it before
|
|
any of them will be released is determined by the
|
|
.Fa count
|
|
argument to
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_init .
|
|
Once the threads have been released the barrier will be reset.
|
|
.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
|
|
In
|
|
.Lb libthr
|
|
the
|
|
.Dv PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD
|
|
return value will
|
|
always be returned by the last thread to reach the barrier.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
If successful,
|
|
both
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_init
|
|
will return zero.
|
|
Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
|
|
If the call to
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_wait
|
|
is successful, all but one of the threads will return zero.
|
|
That one thread will return
|
|
.Dv PTHREAD_BARRIER_SERIAL_THREAD .
|
|
Otherwise, an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
None of these functions will return
|
|
.Er EINTR .
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBUSY
|
|
An attempt was made to destroy
|
|
.Fa barrier
|
|
while it was in use.

.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_destroy
|
|

.Fn pthread_barrier_wait
|
|
functions may fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|

|
|
.Fa barrier
|
|
is invalid.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pthread_barrier_init
|
|
function will fail if:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EAGAIN
|
|
The system lacks resources,
|
|
other than memory,
|
|
to initialize
|
|
.Fa barrier .
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa count
|
|
argument is less than 1.
