pthread_detach - detach a thread
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_detach(pthread_t
thread);
The
pthread_detach() function shall indicate to the implementation that
storage for the thread
thread can be reclaimed when that thread
terminates. If
thread has not terminated,
pthread_detach() shall
not cause it to terminate. The effect of multiple
pthread_detach()
calls on the same target thread is unspecified.
If the call succeeds,
pthread_detach() shall return 0; otherwise, an
error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
The
pthread_detach() function shall fail if:
- EINVAL
- The implementation has detected that the value specified by
thread does not refer to a joinable thread.
- ESRCH
- No thread could be found corresponding to that specified by
the given thread ID.
The
pthread_detach() function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
The
pthread_join() or
pthread_detach() functions should eventually
be called for every thread that is created so that storage associated with the
thread may be reclaimed.
It has been suggested that a "detach" function is not necessary; the
detachstate thread creation attribute is sufficient, since a thread
need never be dynamically detached. However, need arises in at least two
cases:
- 1.
- In a cancellation handler for a pthread_join() it is
nearly essential to have a pthread_detach() function in order to
detach the thread on which pthread_join() was waiting. Without it,
it would be necessary to have the handler do another pthread_join()
to attempt to detach the thread, which would both delay the cancellation
processing for an unbounded period and introduce a new call to
pthread_join(), which might itself need a cancellation handler. A
dynamic detach is nearly essential in this case.
- 2.
- In order to detach the "initial thread" (as may
be desirable in processes that set up server threads).
None.
