Detailed Description

Manages a pool of threads.

This class allows operations on groups of threads atomically. The default behavior of thread manager is to wait on all threads under it's management when it gets destructed. Therefore, remember to remove a thread from thread manager if you don't want it to wait for the thread. There are also functions to disable this default wait-on-exit behavior. However, if your program depends on turning this off to run correctly, you are probably doing something wrong. Rule of thumb, use ACE_Thread to manage your daemon threads. Notice that if there're threads which live beyond the scope of main(), you are sure to have resource leaks in your program. Remember to wait on threads before exiting your main program if that could happen in your programs.

Member Enumeration Documentation

anonymous enum

These are the various states a thread managed by the ACE_Thread_Manager can be in.

Enumerator
ACE_THR_IDLE	Uninitialized.
ACE_THR_SPAWNED	Created but not yet running.
ACE_THR_RUNNING	Thread is active (naturally, we don't know if it's actually running because we aren't the scheduler...).
ACE_THR_SUSPENDED	Thread is suspended.
ACE_THR_CANCELLED	Thread has been cancelled (which is an indiction that it needs to terminate...).
ACE_THR_TERMINATED	Thread has shutdown, but the slot in the thread manager hasn't been reclaimed yet.
ACE_THR_JOINING	Join operation has been invoked on the thread by thread manager.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_Thread_Manager::ACE_Thread_Manager	(	size_t	preaolloc = `ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_PREALLOC`,
		size_t	lwm = `ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_LWM`,
		size_t	inc = `ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_INC`,
		size_t	hwm = `ACE_DEFAULT_THREAD_MANAGER_HWM`
	)

Initialization and termination methods.

Internally, ACE_Thread_Manager keeps a freelist for caching resources it uses to keep track of managed threads (not the threads themselves.) prealloc, lwm, inc, determine the initial size, the low water mark, increment step, and high water mark of the freelist.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::apply_all	(	ACE_THR_MEMBER_FUNC	func,
		int	arg = `0`
	)

protected

Apply func to all members of the table.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::apply_grp	(	int	grp_id,

protected

Apply func to all members of the table that match the task.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::at_exit ( ACE_At_Thread_Exit * cleanup )

inline

Register an At_Thread_Exit hook and the ownership is acquire by Thread_Descriptor, this is the usual case when the AT is dynamically allocated.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::at_exit ( ACE_At_Thread_Exit & cleanup )

inline

Register an At_Thread_Exit hook and the ownership is retained for the caller. Normally used when the at_exit hook is created in stack.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::at_exit	(	void *	object,
		ACE_CLEANUP_FUNC	cleanup_hook,
		void *	param
	)

inline

Deprecated:: This function is deprecated. Please use the previous two at_exit method. Notice that you should avoid mixing this method with the previous two at_exit methods.

Register an object (or array) for cleanup at thread termination. "cleanup_hook" points to a (global, or static member) function that is called for the object or array when it to be destroyed. It may perform any necessary cleanup specific for that object or its class. "param" is passed as the second parameter to the "cleanup_hook" function; the first parameter is the object (or array) to be destroyed. "cleanup_hook", for example, may delete the object (or array). If <cleanup_hook> == 0, the <object> will NOT get cleanup at thread exit. You can use this to cancel the previously added at_exit.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::cancel	(	ACE_thread_t	t_id,
		int	async_cancel = `0`
	)

Cancel a single thread.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::cancel_all ( int async_cancel = 0 )

int ACE_Thread_Manager::cancel_grp	(	int	grp_id,
		int	async_cancel = `0`
	)

Cancel a group of threads.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::cancel_task	(	ACE_Task_Base *	task,
		int	async_cancel = `0`
	)

Cancel all threads in an ACE_Task. If <async_cancel> is non-0, then asynchronously cancel these threads if the OS platform supports cancellation. Otherwise, perform a "cooperative" cancellation.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::cancel_thr	(	ACE_Thread_Descriptor *	td,
		int	async_cancel = `0`
	)

protected

Set the cancellation flag for the thread described in td.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::check_state	(	ACE_UINT32	state,
		ACE_thread_t	thread,
		int	enable = `1`
	)

protected

Efficiently check whether thread is in a particular state. This call updates the TSS cache if possible to speed up subsequent searches.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::close ( void )

Release all resources. By default, this method will wait until all threads exit. However, when called from close_singleton(), most global resources are destroyed and thus, close() does not try to wait; it simply cleans up internal thread records (the thread descriptor list).

		bool	do_thread_exit = `true`
	)

Called to clean up when a thread exits.

Parameters

do_thread_exit	If non-0 then ACE_Thread::exit is called to exit the thread

	)

Create a new thread, which executes func with argument arg.

Parameters

func	The function that is called in the spawned thread.
arg	The value passed to each spawned thread's func.
flags	Flags to control attributes of the spawned threads.

See also: ACE_OS::thr_create() for descriptions of the possible flags values and their interactions.

Parameters

t_id	Pointer to a location to receive the spawned thread's ID. If 0, the ID is not returned.
t_handle	Pointer to a location to receive the spawned thread's thread handle. If 0, the handle is not returned.
priority	The priority at which the thread is spawned.
grp_id	The thread group that the spawned thread is added to. If -1 is specified, a new thread group is created for the spawned thread.
stack	Pointers to the base of a pre-allocated stack space for the thread's stack. If 0, the platform allocates stack space for the thread. If a stack is specified, it is recommended that stack_size also be supplied to specify the size of the stack. Not all platforms support pre-allocated stacks. If stack is specified for a platform which does not allow pre-allocated stack space this parameter is ignored.
stack_size	Indicate how large the thread's stack should be, in bytes. If a pre-allocated stack pointer is passed in stack, stack_size indicates the size of that stack area. If no pre-allocated stack is passed, the stack size specified is passed to the operating system to request that it allocate a stack of the specified size.
thr_name	Pointer to a name to assign to the spawned thread. This is only meaningful for platforms that have a capacity to name threads (e.g., VxWorks and some varieties of Pthreads). This argument is ignored if specified as 0 and on platforms that do not have the capability to name threads.

Return values

-1	on failure; `errno` contains an error value.
The	group id of the spawned thread.

flags	Flags to control attributes of the spawned threads.

See also: ACE_OS::thr_create() for descriptions of the possible flags values and their interactions.

Parameters

priority	The priority at which the threads are spawned.
grp_id	The thread group that the spawned threads are added to. If -1 is specified, a new thread group is created for the spawned threads.
task	The ACE_Task that the spawned threads are associated with. If 0, the threads are not associated with an ACE_Task. This argument is usually assigned by the ACE_Task_Base::activate() method to associate the spawned threads with the spawning ACE_Task object.
thread_handles	An array of n entries which will receive the thread handles of the spawned threads.
stack	An array of n pointers to pre-allocated stack space for each thread's stack. If specified as 0, the platform allocates stack space for each thread. If a stack is specified, it is recommended that a stack_size element also be supplied that specifies the size of the stack. Not all platforms support pre-allocated stacks. If stack is specified for a platform which does not allow pre-allocated stack space this parameter is ignored.
stack_size	An array of n values which indicate how large each thread's stack should be, in bytes. If pre-allocated stacks are passed in stacks, these sizes are for those stacks. If no pre-allocated stacks are passed, the stack sizes are specified to the operating system to request that it allocate stacks of the specified sizes. If an array entry is 0, the platform defaults are used for the corresponding thread. If a 0 array pointer is specified, platform defaults are used for all thread stack sizes.
thr_name	An array of names to assign to the spawned threads. This is only meaningful for platforms that have a capacity to name threads (e.g., VxWorks and some varieties of Pthreads). This argument is ignored if specified as 0 and on platforms that do not have the capability to name threads.

ACE_Thread_Manager can manipulate threads in groups based on grp_id or task using functions such as kill_grp() or cancel_task().

Return values

-1	on failure; `errno` contains an error value.
The	group id of the threads.

	)

Spawn a specified number of threads, all of which execute func with argument arg.

Parameters

thread_ids	An array to receive the thread IDs of successfully spawned buffer. If 0, the thread IDs are not returned. If specified, the array must be at least n entries.
n	The number of threads to spawn.
func	The function that is called in the spawned thread.
arg	The value passed to each spawned thread's func.
flags	Flags to control attributes of the spawned threads.

See also: ACE_OS::thr_create() for descriptions of the possible flags values and their interactions.

Parameters

priority	The priority at which the threads are spawned.
grp_id	The thread group that the spawned threads are added to. If -1 is specified, a new thread group is created for the spawned threads.
stack	An array of n pointers to pre-allocated stack space for each thread's stack. If specified as 0, the platform allocates stack space for each thread. If a stack is specified, it is recommended that a stack_size element also be supplied that specifies the size of the stack. Not all platforms support pre-allocated stacks. If stack is specified for a platform which does not allow pre-allocated stack space this parameter is ignored.
stack_size	An array of n values which indicate how large each thread's stack should be, in bytes. If pre-allocated stacks are passed in stacks, these sizes are for those stacks. If no pre-allocated stacks are passed, the stack sizes are specified to the operating system to request that it allocate stacks of the specified sizes. If an array entry is 0, the platform defaults are used for the corresponding thread. If a 0 array pointer is specified, platform defaults are used for all thread stack sizes.
thread_handles	An array of n entries which will receive the thread handles of the spawned threads.
task	The ACE_Task that the spawned threads are associated with. If 0, the threads are not associated with an ACE_Task. This argument is usually assigned by the ACE_Task_Base::activate() method to associate the spawned threads with the spawning ACE_Task object.
thr_name	An array of names to assign to the spawned threads. This is only meaningful for platforms that have a capacity to name threads (e.g., VxWorks and some varieties of Pthreads). This argument is ignored if specified as 0 and on platforms that do not have the capability to name threads.

ACE_Thread_Manager can manipulate threads in groups based on grp_id or task using functions such as kill_grp() or cancel_task().

Return values

-1	on failure; `errno` contains an error value.
The	group id of the threads.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::suspend ( ACE_thread_t t_id )

Suspend a single thread.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::suspend_all ( void )

Suspend all threads.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::suspend_grp ( int grp_id )

Suspend a group of threads.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::suspend_task ( ACE_Task_Base * task )

Suspend all threads in an ACE_Task.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::suspend_thr	(	ACE_Thread_Descriptor *	td,
		int	= `0`
	)

protected

ACE_Task_Base * ACE_Thread_Manager::task ( void )

inline

Returns a pointer to the current ACE_Task_Base we're executing in if this thread is indeed running in an ACE_Task_Base, else return 0.

ssize_t ACE_Thread_Manager::task_all_list	(	ACE_Task_Base *	task_list[],
		size_t	n
	)

Returns a list of ACE_Task_Base pointers corresponding to the tasks that have active threads managed by this instance.

Parameters

task_list	is a pointer to an array to receive the list of pointers. The caller is responsible for supplying an array with at least n entries.
n	The maximum number of ACE_Task_Base pointers to write in task_list.

Return values

If	successful, the number of pointers returned, which will be no greater than n. Returns -1 on error.

Note

This method has no way to indicate if there are more than

n ACE_Task_Base pointers available. Therefore, it may be wise to guess a larger value of
n than one thinks in cases where the exact number of tasks is not known.

See also: count_threads()

ssize_t ACE_Thread_Manager::task_list	(	int	grp_id,
		ACE_Task_Base *	task_list[],
		size_t	n
	)

Returns a list of ACE_Task_Base pointers corresponding to the tasks that have active threads in a specified thread group.

Parameters

grp_id	The thread group ID to obtain task pointers for.
task_list	is a pointer to an array to receive the list of pointers. The caller is responsible for supplying an array with at least n entries.
n	The maximum number of ACE_Task_Base pointers to write in task_list.

Return values

If	successful, the number of pointers returned, which will be no greater than n. Returns -1 on error.

Note

This method has no way to indicate if there are more than

n ACE_Task_Base pointers available. Therefore, it may be wise to guess a larger value of
n than one thinks in cases where the exact number of tasks is not known.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::testcancel ( ACE_thread_t t_id )

True if t_id is cancelled, else false. Always return false if t_id is not managed by the Thread_Manager.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::testresume ( ACE_thread_t t_id )

True if t_id is active (i.e., resumed), else false. Always return false if t_id is not managed by the Thread_Manager.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::testsuspend ( ACE_thread_t t_id )

True if t_id is inactive (i.e., suspended), else false. Always return false if t_id is not managed by the Thread_Manager.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::testterminate ( ACE_thread_t t_id )

True if t_id has terminated (i.e., is no longer running), but the slot in the thread manager hasn't been reclaimed yet, else false. Always return false if t_id is not managed by the Thread_Manager.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::thr_self ( ACE_hthread_t & self )

Return the "real" handle to the calling thread, caching it if necessary in TSS to speed up subsequent lookups. This is necessary since on some platforms (e.g., Windows) we can't get this handle via direct method calls. Notice that you should not close the handle passed back from this method. It is used internally by Thread Manager. On the other hand, you have to use this internal thread handle when working on Thread_Manager. Return -1 if fail.

ACE_thread_t ACE_Thread_Manager::thr_self ( void )

inline

Return the unique ID of the calling thread. Same as calling ACE_Thread::self().

int ACE_Thread_Manager::thr_state	(	ACE_thread_t	id,
		ACE_UINT32 &	state
	)

Get the state of the thread. Returns false if the thread is not managed by this thread manager.

ssize_t ACE_Thread_Manager::thread_all_list	(	ACE_thread_t	thread_list[],
		size_t	n
	)

Returns in thread_list a list of up to n thread ids. The caller must allocate the memory for thread_list. In case of an error, -1 is returned. If no requested values are found, 0 is returned, otherwise correct number of retrieved values are returned.

ACE_Thread_Descriptor * ACE_Thread_Manager::thread_desc_self ( void )

inlineprotected

Get a pointer to the calling thread's own thread_descriptor. This must be called from a spawn thread. This function will fetch the info from TSS.

ACE_Thread_Descriptor * ACE_Thread_Manager::thread_descriptor ( ACE_thread_t thr_id )

protected

Return a pointer to the thread's Thread_Descriptor, 0 if fail.

ssize_t ACE_Thread_Manager::thread_grp_list	(	int	grp_id,
		ACE_thread_t	thread_list[],
		size_t	n
	)

Returns in thread_list a list of up to n thread ids in a group grp_id. The caller must allocate the memory for thread_list. In case of an error, -1 is returned. If no requested values are found, 0 is returned, otherwise correct number of retrieved values are returned.

ssize_t ACE_Thread_Manager::thread_list	(	ACE_Task_Base *	task,
		ACE_thread_t	thread_list[],
		size_t	n
	)

Returns in thread_list a list of up to n thread ids in an ACE_Task_Base. The caller must allocate the memory for thread_list. In case of an error, -1 is returned. If no requested values are found, 0 is returned, otherwise correct number of retrieved values are returned.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::thread_within ( ACE_thread_t tid )

int ACE_Thread_Manager::wait	(	const ACE_Time_Value *	timeout = `0`,
		bool	abandon_detached_threads = `false`,
		bool	use_absolute_time = `true`
	)

Block until there are no more threads running in this thread manager or timeout expires.

Parameters

timeout	is treated as "absolute" time by default, but this can be changed to "relative" time by setting the `use_absolute_time` to false.
abandon_detached_threads	If true, `wait()` will first check thru its thread list for threads with THR_DETACHED or THR_DAEMON flags set and remove these threads. Notice that unlike other `wait_*`() methods, by default, `wait()` does wait on all thread spawned by this thread manager no matter the detached flags are set or not unless it is called with `abandon_detached_threads` flag set.
use_absolute_time	If true then treat `timeout` as absolute time, else relative time.

Returns: 0 on success * and -1 on failure.

Note: If this function is called while the ACE_Object_Manager is shutting down (as a result of program rundown via ACE::fini()), it will not wait for any threads to complete. If you must wait for threads spawned by this thread manager to complete and you are in a ACE rundown situation (such as your object is being destroyed by the ACE_Object_Manager) you can use wait_grp() instead.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::wait_grp ( int grp_id )

Block until there are no more threads running in a group. Returns 0 on success and -1 on failure. Notice that wait_grp will not wait on detached threads.

void ACE_Thread_Manager::wait_on_exit ( int dowait )

inline

Access function to determine whether the Thread_Manager will wait for its thread to exit or not when being closing down.

int ACE_Thread_Manager::wait_on_exit ( void )

inline

int ACE_Thread_Manager::wait_task ( ACE_Task_Base * task )

Block until there are no more threads running in a specified task. This method will not wait for either detached or daemon threads; the threads must have been spawned with the THR_JOINABLE flag. Upon successful completion, the threads have been joined, so further attempts to join with any of the waited-for threads will fail.

Parameters

task	The ACE_Task_Base object whose threads are to waited for.

Return values

0	Success.
-1	Failure (consult errno for further information).
