Next time I’ll talk about what different approaches might be needed for each of these goals.

Join and cancel pthread c code#

We’d like to have the golden touch of the IO world, instantly turning blocking IO code into nice, well-behaved non-blocking code.

Users would like to write interrupt friendly C libraries and have them integrate seamlessly with Haskell’s exception mechanism, and.

GHC would like to be able to put blocking IO calls on a worker thread but cancel them later it can currently do this on Linux but not on Windows,.

So there are number of different needs for interruptible calls:

Interestingly enough, pthreads-win32 doesn’t seem to do anything special: when we translate our test program and run it with pthreads-win32, it gets stuck on the Sleep call as well:Ĭ:\Users\ezyang\pthreads-win32\Pre-built.2\lib>test.exeĪt this point, it’s worth stepping back for a moment and asking, “What are we really trying to do here?” If you were to ask how to terminate threads on, say, Stack Overflow, you’d get a bunch of responses telling you, “Stop that and do it the right way” namely, by explicitly handling thread termination on the thread itself via another message passing mechanism. (void) pthread_mutex_unlock (&tp->cancelLock) & tp->state state state = PThreadStateCancelPending Įlse if (tp->state >= PThreadStateCanceling) & tp->cancelState = PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE If (tp->cancelType = PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS The million-dollar question is: “Can we implement the same semantics on Windows?” Actually, since it seems that a lot of people would have wanted pthreads functionality on Windows, you would think that this has been already been implemented by pthreads-win32. Previous versions of the POSIX spec were a little unclear whether or not cancellation should take place upon entry to the system call, or while the system call was running, but the 2008 spec is fairly clear:Ĭancellation points shall occur when a thread is executing the following functions. If the thread is stuck in userspace, it has to explicitly allow a deferred cancellation with pthread_testcancel. 137: 138 (e) If the thread creation failed and THREADRAN is false, then the. 135: We privately call pthreadjoin on the thread to finish handling: 136: the resource shutdown (Or at least we should, see bug 19511).

The pthreads page, however, makes things clear: sleep is among one-hundred and two “cancellable” functions, which pthread_cancel must terminate within if a thread’s cancellability status is PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED (there are another two-hundred and forty-two which may or may not be cancelled). return of pthreadcreate since a non-zero result entails PD is: 134: undefined and therefore cannot be joined to free the resources.

If you just had the pthread_cancel and the pthread_setcancelstate manpages, this might seem a little mysterious. It never manages to terminate the second.

Pthread_create(&k2, NULL, psycho_killer, &t2) Pthread_create(&k1, NULL, psycho_killer, &t1) Printf(" Don't touch me I'm a real live wire\n", &t2) Pthread_create(&t2, NULL, thread2, NULL) A thread to wait for termination of another thread uses the function pthreadjoin. Printf(" I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire\n", &t1) The function pthreadcreate is used to create a new thread, and a thread to terminate itself uses the function pthreadexit. printf(Main: completed join with thread ld having a status of ldn, i.

Pthread_create(&t1, NULL, thread1, NULL) Consider the following program (thread.c) implemented with pthread library in. Pop quiz! What does this pthreads code do?

Join and cancel pthread c Patch#

I hope you understand: we’re doing our best to patch it up, but there have been some complications. Your interruptible GHC patch it was involved in a terrible accident on the way to Windows portability. I'm using pthread_create() and pthread_cancel() functions to create a multithreaded program, but I noticed that pthread_cancel() did not really terminate the thread it was supposed to.Edward, I’m afraid I have some bad news.
