<p>The <strong>pthread_clear_exit_np</strong>() function clears the exit status
|
|
of the thread. If the thread is currently exiting due to a call to
|
|
<strong>pthread_exit</strong>() or is the target of a
|
|
<strong>pthread_cancel</strong>(), then
|
|
<strong>pthread_clear_exit_np</strong>() can be used in conjunction with
|
|
<strong>setjmp</strong>(), <strong>longjmp</strong>(), and
|
|
<strong>pthread_setcancelstate</strong>() to prevent a thread from terminating,
|
|
and `handle' the exit condition.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The only supported way to prevent thread exit during the condition in which
|
|
<strong>pthread_exit</strong>() was called, or action is being taken for the
|
|
target of a <strong>pthread_cancel</strong>() is shown in the example. It
|
|
consists of using <strong>longjmp</strong>() from a cancellation cleanup
|
|
handler back into some thread routine that is still on the invocation stack.
|
|
From that routine, the functions <strong>pthread_clear_exit_np</strong>(), and
|
|
<strong>pthread_setcancelstate</strong>() are used to restore the state of the
|
|
thread before the condition that was causing the thread exit.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note:</strong> This function is not portable.</p>
|
|
