It is intended to be -called just before a thread calls one of the !exec! functions, -e.g. !execve!(2). - -Termination of the other threads is not performed through -!pthread_cancel!(3p) and completely bypasses the cancellation -mechanism. Hence, the current settings for cancellation state and -cancellation type are ignored, and the cleanup handlers are not -executed in the terminated threads. - -.SH AUTHOR -Xavier Leroy <Xavier.Leroy@inria.fr> - -.SH "SEE ALSO" -!execve!(2), -!pthread_setcancelstate!(3p), -!pthread_setcanceltype!(3p), -!pthread_cancel!(3p). - -.SH BUGS - -According to POSIX 1003.1c, a successful !exec*! in one of the threads -should terminate automatically all other threads in the program. -This behavior is not yet implemented in LinuxThreads. -Calling !pthread_kill_other_threads_np! before !exec*! achieves much -of the same behavior, except that if !exec*! ultimately fails, then -all other threads are already killed. |
