void *pthread_getspecific(pthread_key_t
key);
int pthread_setspecific(pthread_key_t
key, const
void *value);
The
pthread_getspecific() function shall return the value currently bound
to the specified
key on behalf of the calling thread.
The
pthread_setspecific() function shall associate a thread-specific
value with a
key obtained via a previous call to
pthread_key_create(). Different threads may bind different values to
the same key. These values are typically pointers to blocks of dynamically
allocated memory that have been reserved for use by the calling thread.
The effect of calling
pthread_getspecific() or
pthread_setspecific() with a
key value not obtained from
pthread_key_create() or after
key has been deleted with
pthread_key_delete() is undefined.
Both
pthread_getspecific() and
pthread_setspecific() may be called
from a thread-specific data destructor function. A call to
pthread_getspecific() for the thread-specific data key being destroyed
shall return the value NULL, unless the value is changed (after the destructor
starts) by a call to
pthread_setspecific(). Calling
pthread_setspecific() from a thread-specific data destructor routine
may result either in lost storage (after at least
PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS attempts at destruction) or in an infinite loop.
Both functions may be implemented as macros.
The
pthread_getspecific() function shall return the thread-specific data
value associated with the given
key. If no thread-specific data value
is associated with
key, then the value NULL shall be returned.
If successful, the
pthread_setspecific() function shall return zero;
otherwise, an error number shall be returned to indicate the error.
No errors are returned from
pthread_getspecific().
The
pthread_setspecific() function shall fail if:
- ENOMEM
- Insufficient memory exists to associate the value with the
key.
The
pthread_setspecific() function may fail if:
- EINVAL
- The key value is invalid.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
None.
None.
Performance and ease-of-use of
pthread_getspecific() are critical for
functions that rely on maintaining state in thread-specific data. Since no
errors are required to be detected by it, and since the only error that could
be detected is the use of an invalid key, the function to
pthread_getspecific() has been designed to favor speed and simplicity
over error reporting.
None.
