PTHREAD_BARRIERATTR_DESTROYPOSIX Programmer's MPTHREAD_BARRIERATTR_DESTROY(3P)
PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
pthread_barrierattr_destroy, pthread_barrierattr_init -- destroy and
initialize the barrier attributes object
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_barrierattr_destroy(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);
int pthread_barrierattr_init(pthread_barrierattr_t *attr);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_barrierattr_destroy() function shall destroy a barrier
attributes object. A destroyed attr attributes object can be reinitial-
ized using pthread_barrierattr_init(); the results of otherwise refer-
encing the object after it has been destroyed are undefined. An imple-
mentation may cause pthread_barrierattr_destroy() to set the object
referenced by attr to an invalid value.
The pthread_barrierattr_init() function shall initialize a barrier
attributes object attr with the default value for all of the attributes
defined by the implementation.
If pthread_barrierattr_init() is called specifying an already initial-
ized attr attributes object, the results are undefined.
After a barrier attributes object has been used to initialize one or
more barriers, any function affecting the attributes object (including
destruction) shall not affect any previously initialized barrier.
The behavior is undefined if the value specified by the attr argument
to pthread_barrierattr_destroy() does not refer to an initialized bar-
rier attributes object.
RETURN VALUE
If successful, the pthread_barrierattr_destroy() and pthread_barrier-
attr_init() functions shall return zero; otherwise, an error number
shall be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_barrierattr_init() function shall fail if:
ENOMEM Insufficient memory exists to initialize the barrier attributes
object.
These functions shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
RATIONALE
If an implementation detects that the value specified by the attr argu-
ment to pthread_barrierattr_destroy() does not refer to an initialized
barrier attributes object, it is recommended that the function should
fail and report an [EINVAL] error.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
