|
|
<p>The <strong>pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() function destroys the named
|
|
mutex. The destroyed mutex can no longer be used.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If <strong>pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() is called on a mutex that is
|
|
locked by another thread, the request fails with an <strong>EBUSY</strong>
|
|
error. If the calling thread has the mutex locked, any other threads waiting
|
|
for the mutex using a call to <strong>pthread_mutex_lock</strong>() at the time
|
|
of the call to <strong>pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() fails with the <strong>
|
|
EDESTROYED</strong> error.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Mutex initialization using the <strong>PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER</strong>
|
|
does not immediately initialize the mutex. Instead, on first use, <strong>
|
|
pthread_mutex_lock</strong>() or <strong>pthread_mutex_trylock</strong>()
|
|
branches into a slow path and causes the initialization of the mutex. Because a
|
|
mutex is not just a simple memory object and requires that some resources be
|
|
allocated by the system, an attempt to call <strong>
|
|
pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() or <strong>pthread_mutex_unlock</strong>() on
|
|
a mutex that has statically initialized using <strong>
|
|
PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALER</strong> and was not yet locked causes an <strong>
|
|
EINVAL</strong> error.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Every mutex must eventually be destroyed with <strong>
|
|
pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>(). The machine eventually detects the error if a
|
|
mutex is not destroyed, but the storage is deallocated or corrupted. The
|
|
machine then creates LIC log synchronization entries that indicate the failure
|
|
to help debug the problem. Large numbers of these entries can affect system
|
|
performance and hinder debug capabilities for other system problems. Always use
|
|
<strong>pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() before freeing mutex storage to
|
|
prevent these debug LIC log entries.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Once a mutex is created, it cannot be validly copied
|
|
or moved to a new location.</p>
|
|
|

<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><strong>mutex</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>(Input) Address of the mutex to be destroyed</dd>
|
|
</dl>

<h3>Return Value</h3>
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|

|
|
|
|
<dt><strong>value</strong></dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd><strong>pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() was not successful. <em>value</em>
|
|
is set to indicate the error condition.</dd>

|
<br>
|
|
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If <strong>pthread_mutex_destroy</strong>() was not successful, the error
|
|
condition returned usually indicates one of the following errors. Under some
|
|
conditions, the value returned could indicate an error other than those listed
|
|
here.</p>

<dt><em>[EBUSY]</em></dt>
|
|
|
