For +example, the address may be taken as the low memory address of a +buffer intended for use as a stack, or it may be taken as the address +to be used as the initial stack pointer register value for the new +thread. These two are not the same except for a machine on which the +stack grows "up" from low memory to high, and on which a +"push" operation first stores the value in memory and then +increments the stack pointer register. Further, on a machine where +the stack grows "down" from high memory to low, +interpretation of the address as the "low memory" address +requires a determination of the intended size of the stack. +IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 has introduced the new interfaces +<A HREF="pthread_attr_setstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_setstack</B>(3)</A> +and <A HREF="pthread_attr_getstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_getstack</B>(3)</A> +to resolve these ambiguities. +</P> +<H2><A HREF="#toc7" NAME="sect7">Rationale</A></H2> +<P>None. +</P> +<H2><A HREF="#toc8" NAME="sect8">Future Directions</A></H2> +<P>None. +</P> +<H2><A HREF="#toc9" NAME="sect9">See Also</A></H2> +<P><A HREF="pthread_attr_init.html"><B>pthread_attr_destroy</B>(3)</A> +, <A HREF="pthread_attr_init.html"><B>pthread_attr_getdetachstate</B>(3)</A> +, <A HREF="pthread_attr_getstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_getstack</B>(3)</A> +, <A HREF="pthread_attr_getstacksize.html"><B>pthread_attr_getstacksize</B>(3)</A> +, <A HREF="pthread_attr_setstack.html"><B>pthread_attr_setstack</B>(3)</A> +, <A HREF="pthread_create.html"><B>pthread_create</B>(3)</A> , the +Base Definitions volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, +<I><limits.h></I>, <I><pthread.h></I> +</P> +<H2><A HREF="#toc10" NAME="sect10">Copyright</A></H2> +<P>Portions of this text are reprinted and reproduced in electronic +form from IEEE Std 1003.1, 2003 Edition, Standard for Information +Technology -- Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX), The Open +Group Base Specifications Issue 6, Copyright (C) 2001-2003 by the +Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc and The Open +Group.

The <I>state</I> argument is the new cancellation +state: either <B>PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE</B> to enable cancellation, or +<B>PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE</B> to disable cancellation (cancellation +requests are ignored).

The +basic operations on semaphores are: increment the counter atomically, +and wait until the counter is non-null and decrement it atomically. +</P> +<P><B>sem_init</B> initializes the semaphore object pointed to by +<I>sem</I>. The count associated with the semaphore is set initially +to <I>value</I>. The <I>pshared</I> argument indicates whether the +semaphore is local to the current process ( <I>pshared</I> is zero) +or is to be shared between several processes ( <I>pshared</I> is not +zero).</P> +<P><B>Pthreads-w32</B> currently does not support process-shared +semaphores, thus <B>sem_init</B> always returns with error <B>EPERM</B> +if <I>pshared</I> is not zero. +</P> +<P><B>sem_wait</B> atomically decrements <I>sem</I>'s count if it is +greater than 0 and returns immediately or it suspends the calling +thread until it can resume following a call to <B>sem_post</B> or +<B>sem_post_multiple</B>.</P> +<P><B>sem_timedwait</B> atomically decrements <I>sem</I>'s count if +it is greater than 0 and returns immediately, or it suspends the +calling thread. If <I>abstime</I> time arrives before the thread can +resume following a call to <B>sem_post</B> or <B>sem_post_multiple</B>, +then <B>sem_timedwait</B> returns with a return code of -1 after +having set <B>errno</B> to <B>ETIMEDOUT</B>. If the call can return +without suspending then <I>abstime</I> is not checked.</P> +<P><B>sem_trywait</B> atomically decrements <I>sem</I>'s count if it +is greater than 0 and returns immediately, or it returns immediately +with a return code of -1 after having set <B>errno</B> to <B>EAGAIN</B>. +<B>sem_trywait</B> never blocks.</P> +<P><B>sem_post</B> either releases one thread if there are any +waiting on <I>sem</I>, or it atomically increments <I>sem</I>'s +count.</P> +<P><B>sem_post_multiple</B> either releases multiple threads if there +are any waiting on <I>sem</I> and/or it atomically increases <I>sem</I>'s +count. If there are currently <I>n</I> waiters, where <I>n</I> the +largest number less than or equal to <I>number</I>, then <I>n</I> +waiters are released and <I>sem</I>'s count is incremented by <I>number</I> +minus <I>n</I>.</P> +<P><B>sem_getvalue</B> stores in the location pointed to by <I>sval</I> +the current count of the semaphore <I>sem</I>. In the <B>Pthreads-w32</B> +implementation: if the value returned in <I>sval</I> is greater than +or equal to 0 it was the <I>sem</I>'s count at some point during the +call to <B>sem_getvalue</B>. If the value returned in <I>sval</I> is +less than 0 then it's absolute value represents the number of threads +waiting on <I>sem</I> at some point during the call to <B>sem_getvalue. +</B>POSIX does not require an implementation of <B>sem_getvalue</B> +to return a value in <I>sval</I> that is less than 0, but if it does +then it's absolute value must represent the number of waiters.</P> +<P><B>sem_destroy</B> destroys a semaphore object, freeing the +resources it might hold.
