Sun Solaris Thread Architecture
Thread Functions
function description
thr_create Create a thread
thr_self Get the thread identifier
thr_yield Yield thread execution
thr_exit Terminate a thread
thr_join Wait for thread termination
thr_suspend Suspend thread execution
thr_continue Continue thread execution
thr_setprio Set the thread priority
thr_getprio Get the thread priority
Thread Functions
thr_create(void *stack_base, size_t stack_size, void*(*start_routine)(void*), void* arg, long flag, thead_t * new_thread);
stack_base - contain the address for the stack, if it is NULL, thr_create will allocate a stack for the new thread with at least stack_size bytes.stack_size - contain the size, in number of bytes, for the stack that the new thread uses.start_routine - contain the function which the new thread begins execution.arg – Can be anything that is described by void, which is typically any 4-bytes value. Note that you can supply only one argument. To get your procedure
to take multiple arguments, encode them as one structure.
Thread Functions
thr_create(void *stack_base, size_t stack_size, void*(*start_routine)(void*), void* arg, long flag, thead_t * new_thread);
flags – Specifies attributes for the created thread. In the most cases a zero value work best.THR_SUSPENDED
THR_DETACHED
THR_BOUND
THR_NEW_LWP
THR_DAEMON
new_thread – Points to a location where the ID of the new thread is stored
Thread Functions
Get the thread identifier
thread_t thr_self(void);
Yield thread execution
void thr_yield(void);
void thr_exit(void* status);
Terminate a thread
thr_join(thread_t tid, thread_t *departedid, void **status);
Wait for thread termination
Thread Functions
thread_t tid;thread_t departedid;int ret;int status;
ret = thr_join( tid, &departedid, (void*) status); //join tid thread with statusret = thr_join(tid, &departedid, NULL);//join tid thread without statusret = thr_join(tid, NULL, NULL);//join tid thread without return id and statusret = thr_join(NULL, &departedid, NULL);
Thread Functions
int thr_suspend(thread_d tid);
Suspend thread execution
Continue thread execution
int thr_continue(thread_t tid);
Set the thread priority
Thread Functions
Thread_t tid;int ret;int newprio = 20;
ret = thr_create(NULL, NULL, func, arg, THR_SUSPEND, &tid);// suspend created threadret = thr_setprio(tid, newprio);// set the new priority to the new threadret = thr_continue(tid);//suspended thread starts to execute with the new priority
int thr_setprio(thread_t tid, int newprio);Get the thread priority
int thr_getprio(thread_t tid, int * newprio);

Synchronization Functions
Mutual Exclusion Lock . Initialize a mutex . Destroy a mutex . Acquire a mutex . Release a mutex . Try to acquire a mutex
Synchronization Functions
Initialize a mutex
mutex_t mp;
int mutex_init(mutex_t *mp, int type, void *arg);
TYPE:1. USYNC_PROCESS : the mustex can be used to synchronize threads and other processes.2. USYNC_PROCESS_ROBUST : the mutex can be used to robustly synchronize threads in this and other processes.3. USYNC_THREAD : the mutex can be used to synchronize threads in this process only.
. Destroy a mutex
int mutex_destroy(mutex_t* mp);
. Acquire a mutex
int mutex_lock(mutex_t* mp);
. Release a mutex
int mutex_unlock(mutex_t* mp);
. Try to acquire a mutex
int mutex_trylock(mutex_t* mp);
Synchronization Functions
Synchronization Functions
Condition Variables
- Initialize a condition variable - Destroy a condition variable - Wait for a condition variable - Wait for an absolute time - Signal one condition variable - Signal all condition variable
Synchronization Functions
Initialize a condition variables
cond_t cv;
int cond_init(cond_t *cv, int type, int arg);
TYPE:1. USYNC_PROCESS : the condition variables can be used to synchronize threads and other processes.
2. USYNC_THREAD : the condition variables can be used to synchronize threads in this process only.
Synchronization Functions
Destroy a condition variables
int cond_destroy(cond_t *cv);
Wait for a condition
cond_t cv;
int cond_wait(cond_t *cv, mutex_t *mp);
Synchronization Functions
cond_timewait(cond_t* cv, mutex_t *mp, timestruct_t abstime)
Wait for an absolute time
Signal one condition variable
int cond_signal(cond_t *cv); int cond_broadcast(cond_t * cv);
Synchronization Functions
Semaphores
- initialize a semaphore - increment a semaphore - block a semaphore count - decrement a semaphore count - destroy a semaphore state
Synchronization Functions
int sema_init(sema_t *sp, unsigned int count, int type, void* arg);
Initialize a semaphore
sema_t sp;int ret;int count;count = 4;
ret = sema_init(&sp, count, USYNC_THREAD, 0);
ret = sema_init(&sp, count, USYNC_PROCESS, 0);
Synchronization Functions
Increment a semaphore count
int sema_post(sema_t *sp);
Decrement a semaphore count
int sema_trywait(sema_t* sp);
Destroy a semaphore
int sema_destroy(sema_t * sp);
Synchronization Functions
Read-Write Locks
. Initialize a read-write lock
. Acquire a read lock
. Try to acquire a read lock
. Acquire a write lock
. Try to acquire a write lock
. Unlock a read-write lock
. Destroy read-write lock state
Synchronization Functions
Initialize a read-write lock
rwlock_init(rwlock_t * rwlp, int type, void* arg); rwlock_t rwlp; int ret; ret = rw_lock_init(&rwlp, USYNC_THREAD, 0); ret = rw_lock_init(&rwlp, USYNC_PROCESS, 0); int rw_rdlock(rwlock_t *rwlp); int rw_tryrdlock(rwlock_t *rwlp); int rw_wrlock(rwlock_t *rwlp); int rw_trywrlock(rwlock_t *rwlp); int rw_unlock(rwlock_t *rwlp); int rw_destory(rwlock_t *rwlp);
