<h1 class="topictitle1">End a thread</h1>
|
|
<div><p>When a thread has completed its processing, it takes an action
|
|
to end itself and release system resources for use by other threads.</p>
|
|
<p>Some API sets require the application to explicitly release resources associated
|
|
with the thread when it ends. Other threads implementations (like Java™) garbage
|
|
collect and clean up resources when it is appropriate to do so.</p>
|
|
<p>A thread can end in several ways. From a performance perspective, the best
|
|
way to end a thread is to return from the initial routine that was called
|
|
when the thread was started. Thread API sets typically provide mechanisms
|
|
for ending the thread when returning from the initial routine is not an option.</p>
|
|
<p>Some API sets also support exception mechanisms. Exception mechanisms for
|
|
ending a thread result in the thread ending when it takes an exception that
|
|
is not handled. An example might be a Java exception that is thrown by a thread.</p>
|
|
<p> See your language-specific documentation for details on exceptions or
|
|
other ways a thread can end itself.</p>
