|
<p>The <strong>pthread_join_np()</strong> function waits for a thread to
|
||
|
|
terminate, then returns the threads exit status, while leaving the data
|
||
|
|
structures of the thread available for a later call to
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_join</strong>(), <strong>pthread_join_np()</strong>,
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_detach()</strong>, or
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_extendedjoin_np</strong>()</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the <em>status</em> parameter is <strong>NULL</strong>, the thread's exit
|
||
|
|
status is not returned.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>The meaning of the threads exit status (value returned to the
|
||
|
|
<em>status</em> memory location) is determined by the application except for
|
||
|
|
the following conditions:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>When the thread has been canceled using <strong>pthread_cancel</strong>(),
|
||
|
|
the exit status of <strong>PTHREAD_CANCELED</strong> is made available.</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>When the thread has been terminated as a result of an unhandled i5/OS
|
||
|
|
exception, operator intervention, or other proprietary i5/OS mechanism, the
|
||
|
|
exit status of <strong>PTHREAD_EXCEPTION_NP</strong> is made available.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Eventually, you should call <strong>pthread_join()</strong>,
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_detach()</strong>, or
|
||
|
|
<strong>pthread_extendedjoin_np</strong>() without specifying the
|
||
|
|
<em>leaveThreadAllocated</em> option for every thread that is created joinable
|
||
|
|
(with a detach state of PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE) so that the system can reclaim
|
||
|
|
all resources associated with the thread. Failure to join to or detach joinable
|
||
|
|
threads causes memory and other resource leaks until the process ends.</p>
