Thread support library
Thread support library
If the macro constant __STDC_NO_THREADS__
(C11) is defined by the compiler, the header <threads.h>
and all of the names listed here are not provided.
Threads
Defined in header <threads.h>
|
|
---|---|
thrd_t
|
implementation-defined complete object type identifying a thread |
(C11) |
creates a thread (function) |
(C11) |
checks if two identifiers refer to the same thread (function) |
(C11) |
obtains the current thread identifier (function) |
(C11) |
suspends execution of the calling thread for the given period of time (function) |
(C11) |
yields the current time slice (function) |
(C11) |
terminates the calling thread (function) |
(C11) |
detaches a thread (function) |
(C11) |
blocks until a thread terminates (function) |
(C11) |
indicates a thread error status (constant) |
thrd_start_t (C11) |
a typedef of the function pointer type int(*)(void*) , used by thrd_create (typedef) |
Mutual exclusion
Defined in header <threads.h>
|
|
---|---|
mtx_t
|
mutex identifier |
(C11) |
creates a mutex (function) |
(C11) |
blocks until locks a mutex (function) |
(C11) |
blocks until locks a mutex or times out (function) |
(C11) |
locks a mutex or returns without blocking if already locked (function) |
(C11) |
unlocks a mutex (function) |
(C11) |
destroys a mutex (function) |
(C11)(C11)(C11) |
defines the type of a mutex (enum) |
Call once |
|
(C11) |
calls a function exactly once (function) |
Condition variables
Defined in header <threads.h>
|
|
---|---|
cnd_t
|
condition variable identifier |
(C11) |
creates a condition variable (function) |
(C11) |
unblocks one thread blocked on a condition variable (function) |
(C11) |
unblocks all threads blocked on a condition variable (function) |
(C11) |
blocks on a condition variable (function) |
(C11) |
blocks on a condition variable, with a timeout (function) |
(C11) |
destroys a condition variable (function) |
Thread-local storage
Defined in header <threads.h>
|
|
---|---|
(C11) |
thread local type macro (keyword macro) |
tss_t
|
thread-specific storage pointer |
(C11) |
maximum number of times destructors are called (macro constant) |
tss_dtor_t
|
function pointer type void(*)(void*) , used for TSS destructor
|
(C11) |
creates thread-specific storage pointer with a given destructor (function) |
(C11) |
reads from thread-specific storage (function) |
(C11) |
write to thread-specific storage (function) |
(C11) |
releases the resources held by a given thread-specific pointer (function) |
Reserved identifiers
Function names, type names, and enumeration constants that begin with either cnd_
, mtx_
, thrd_
, or tss_
, and a lowercase letter may be added to the declarations in the <threads.h>
header in future revisions of the C standard, and portable programs should not use those identifiers.
