NAME
pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np, pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np - push and pop thread cancelation clean-up handlers while saving cancelability type
LIBRARY
POSIX threads library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>void pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(void (*\nroutine\n)(void *), void *\narg\n);\n
\nvoid pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(int \nexecute\n);pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(), pthread_cleanup_pop_defer_np():
\n
_GNU_SOURCEDESCRIPTION
These functions are the same as pthread_cleanup_push(3) and pthread_cleanup_pop(3), except for the differences noted on this page.
Like pthread_cleanup_push(3), pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np() pushes routine onto the thread's stack of cancelation clean-up handlers. In addition, it also saves the thread's current cancelability type, and sets the cancelability type to "deferred" (see pthread_setcanceltype(3)); this ensures that cancelation clean-up will occur even if the thread's cancelability type was "asynchronous" before the call.
Like pthread_cleanup_pop(3), pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np() pops the top-most clean-up handler from the thread's stack of cancelation clean-up handlers. In addition, it restores the thread's cancelability type to its value at the time of the matching pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np().
The caller must ensure that calls to these functions are paired within the same function, and at the same lexical nesting level. Other restrictions apply, as described in pthread_cleanup_push(3).
This sequence of calls:
pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(routine, arg);
pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(execute);is equivalent to (but shorter and more efficient than):
int oldtype;
pthread_cleanup_push(routine, arg);
pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, &oldtype);
...
pthread_setcanceltype(oldtype, NULL);
pthread_cleanup_pop(execute);STANDARDS
GNU; hence the suffix "_np" (nonportable) in the names.
