PROLOG <\/a> <\/h2>\n

This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer\u2019s Manual. The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.<\/p>\n

NAME <\/a> <\/h2>\n

pthread_cleanup_pop, pthread_cleanup_push \u2014 establish cancellation handlers<\/p>\n

SYNOPSIS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

#include <\/p>\n

void pthread_cleanup_pop(int execute<\/i>);
void pthread_cleanup_push(void (*routine<\/i>)(void*), void *arg<\/i>);<\/p>\n

DESCRIPTION <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>() function shall remove the routine at the top of the calling thread\u2019s cancellation cleanup stack and optionally invoke it (if execute<\/i> is non-zero).<\/p>\n

The pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() function shall push the specified cancellation cleanup handler routine<\/i> onto the calling thread\u2019s cancellation cleanup stack. The cancellation cleanup handler shall be popped from the cancellation cleanup stack and invoked with the argument arg<\/i> when:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The thread exits (that is, calls pthread_exit<\/i>()).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The thread acts upon a cancellation request.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

<\/td>\n\n

*<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

<\/td>\n\n

The thread calls pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>() with a non-zero execute<\/i> argument.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

It is unspecified whether pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() and pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>() are macros or functions. If a macro definition is suppressed in order to access an actual function, or a program defines an external identifier with any of these names, the behavior is undefined. The application shall ensure that they appear as statements, and in pairs within the same lexical scope (that is, the pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() macro may be thought to expand to a token list whose first token is \u2019{\u2019<\/b> with pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>() expanding to a token list whose last token is the corresponding \u2019}\u2019<\/b>).<\/p>\n

The effect of calling longjmp<\/i>() or siglongjmp<\/i>() is undefined if there have been any calls to pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() or pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>() made without the matching call since the jump buffer was filled. The effect of calling longjmp<\/i>() or siglongjmp<\/i>() from inside a cancellation cleanup handler is also undefined unless the jump buffer was also filled in the cancellation cleanup handler.<\/p>\n

The effect of the use of return<\/b>, break<\/b>, continue<\/b>, and goto<\/b> to prematurely leave a code block described by a pair of pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() and pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>() functions calls is undefined.<\/p>\n

RETURN VALUE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() and pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>() functions shall not return a value.<\/p>\n

ERRORS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

No errors are defined.<\/p>\n

These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR]<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The following sections are informative.<\/i><\/p>\n

EXAMPLES <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The following is an example using thread primitives to implement a cancelable, writers-priority read-write lock:<\/p>\n

APPLICATION USAGE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The two routines that push and pop cancellation cleanup handlers, pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() and pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>(), can be thought of as left and right-parentheses. They always need to be matched.<\/p>\n

RATIONALE <\/a> <\/h2>\n

The restriction that the two routines that push and pop cancellation cleanup handlers, pthread_cleanup_push<\/i>() and pthread_cleanup_pop<\/i>(), have to appear in the same lexical scope allows for efficient macro or compiler implementations and efficient storage management. A sample implementation of these routines as macros might look like this:<\/p>\n

#define pthread_cleanup_push(rtn,arg) {
struct _pthread_handler_rec __cleanup_handler, **__head;
__cleanup_handler.rtn = rtn;
__cleanup_handler.arg = arg;
(void) pthread_getspecific(_pthread_handler_key, &__head);
__cleanup_handler.next = *__head;
*__head = &__cleanup_handler;<\/p>\n

#define pthread_cleanup_pop(ex)
*__head = __cleanup_handler.next;
if (ex) (*__cleanup_handler.rtn)(__cleanup_handler.arg);
}<\/p>\n

A more ambitious implementation of these routines might do even better by allowing the compiler to note that the cancellation cleanup handler is a constant and can be expanded inline.<\/p>\n

This volume of POSIX.1-2017 currently leaves unspecified the effect of calling longjmp<\/i>() from a signal handler executing in a POSIX System Interfaces function. If an implementation wants to allow this and give the programmer reasonable behavior, the longjmp<\/i>() function has to call all cancellation cleanup handlers that have been pushed but not popped since the time setjmp<\/i>() was called.<\/p>\n

Consider a multi-threaded function called by a thread that uses signals. If a signal were delivered to a signal handler during the operation of qsort<\/i>() and that handler were to call longjmp<\/i>() (which, in turn, did not<\/i> call the cancellation cleanup handlers) the helper threads created by the qsort<\/i>() function would not be canceled. Instead, they would continue to execute and write into the argument array even though the array might have been popped off the stack.<\/p>\n

Note that the specified cleanup handling mechanism is especially tied to the C language and, while the requirement for a uniform mechanism for expressing cleanup is language-independent, the mechanism used in other languages may be quite different. In addition, this mechanism is really only necessary due to the lack of a real exception mechanism in the C language, which would be the ideal solution.<\/p>\n

There is no notion of a cancellation cleanup-safe function. If an application has no cancellation points in its signal handlers, blocks any signal whose handler may have cancellation points while calling async-unsafe functions, or disables cancellation while calling async-unsafe functions, all functions may be safely called from cancellation cleanup routines.<\/p>\n

FUTURE DIRECTIONS <\/a> <\/h2>\n

None.<\/p>\n
