|
<p>The <strong>pthread_key_create</strong>() function creates a thread local
|
|
storage <em>key</em> for the process and associates the <em>destructor</em>
|
|
function with that <em>key</em>. After a key is created, that key can be used
|
|
to set and get per-thread data pointer. When
|
|
<strong>pthread_key_create</strong>() completes, the value associated with the
|
|
newly created key is NULL.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When a thread terminates, if <strong>both</strong> the value and the
|
|
destructor associated with a thread local storage key are not
|
|
<strong>NULL</strong>, the destructor function is called. The stored pointer
|
|
associated with the key is set to NULL before the call to the destructor
|
|
funciton. The parameter passed to the destructor function when it is called is
|
|
the value of the pointer before it was set to NULL that is associated with that
|
|
key in the thread that is terminating.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After calling the destructors, if there are still non <strong>NULL</strong>
|
|
values in the thread associated with the keys, the process is repeated. After
|
|
<strong>PTHREAD_DESTRUCTOR_ITERATIONS</strong> attempts to destroy the thread
|
|
local storage, no further attempts are made for that thread local storage
|
|
value/key combination.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Do not call <strong>pthread_exit</strong>() from a destructor function.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A destructor function is not called as a result of the application calling
|
|
<strong>pthread_key_delete</strong>().</p>
