man pthread_detach
pthread_t
类型定义: typedef unsigned long int pthread_t; //come from /usr/include/bits/pthread.h
用途:pthread_t用于声明线程ID。 sizeof (pthread_t) =4;
linux线程执行和windows不同,pthread有两种状态joinable状态和unjoinable状态
一个线程默认的状态是joinable,如果线程是joinable状态,当线程函数自己返回退出时或pthread_exit时都不会释放线程所占用堆栈和线程描述符(总计8K多)。只有当你调用了pthread_join之后这些资源才会被释放。
若是unjoinable状态的线程,这些资源在线程函数退出时或pthread_exit时自动会被释放。
unjoinable属性可以在pthread_create时指定,或在线程创建后在线程中pthread_detach自己, 如:pthread_detach(pthread_self()),将状态改为unjoinable状态,确保资源的释放。如果线程状态为 joinable,需要在之后适时调用pthread_join.
pthread_self()函数用来获取当前调用该函数的线程的线程ID
NAME
pthread_self - get the calling thread ID
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
pthread_t pthread_self(void);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_self() function shall return the thread ID of the calling thread.
RETURN VALUE
Refer to the DESCRIPTION.
ERRORS
No errors are defined.
The pthread_self() function shall not return an error code of [EINTR].
