pthread_cleanup_push Subroutine



Purpose

Pushes a routine onto the calling thread's cleanup stack.

Library

Threads Library (libpthreads.a)

Syntax

#include <pthread.h>

void pthread_cleanup_push (routine, arg)
void (*routine) (void *);
void *arg;

Description

The pthread_cleanup_push subroutine pushes the routine routine onto
the calling thread's cleanup stack.

The cleanup stack is an ordinary LIFO routines stack, used for performing
all necessary cleanups at thread termination. The stacked cleanup
routines are executed when the thread terminates or when it is canceled.

When the entire process is terminated, due to a signal or to a call
to either the exec, exit, or fork subroutines, the cleanup routines
are not called.

The cleanup routines are called with the arg parameter as the single
parameter. It is a void pointer; it can reference any kind of data.
It is not recommended to cast this pointer into a scalar data type
(int for example), because the casts may not be portable.

For each call to the pthread_cleanup_push subroutine, there should
be a call to the pthread_cleanup_pop subroutine in the same function
and in the same block of statement. Otherwise, the compiler may fail
compiling the program, or the program would have an unpredictable
behaviour when porting to other systems. The reason is that, on non-AIX
systems, the pthread_cleanup_push subroutine may be implemented as
a macro opening a block of statements.

Note:	The pthread.h header file must be the first included file of
each source file using the threads library.

Parameters

routine	Points to the cleanup routine.

arg	Points to the single argument to be passed to the cleanup routine.

Implementation Specifics

This subroutine is part of the Base Operating System (BOS) Runtime.
