Function Documentation

◆ check_thread_resource()

DLLEXPORT bool check_thread_resource ( AbstractThreadResource atr)

check if a thread resouce has been saved

Parameters
atrthread resource id to check
Returns
true if saved, false if not saved

◆ is_valid_qore_thread()

DLLEXPORT bool is_valid_qore_thread ( )

returns true if the current thread is a valid qore thread; it is not safe to call most Qore functions unless the thread is registered with Qore

See also

◆ q_deregister_foreign_thread()

DLLEXPORT int q_deregister_foreign_thread ( )

deregisters the current thread as a foreign thread

Returns
0 if the foreign thread was deregistered, -1 if it was not registered or was not a foreign thread
See also
Since
Qore 0.8.7

◆ q_deregister_reserved_foreign_thread()

DLLEXPORT int q_deregister_reserved_foreign_thread ( )

deregisters a foreign qore thread but retains the TID as reserved

Returns
0 for OK, -1 for error (TID invalid or not foreign)
Since
Qore 0.8.7

◆ q_register_foreign_thread()

DLLEXPORT int q_register_foreign_thread ( )

registers the current thread as a Qore thread; returns QFT_OK (0) if the thread was successfully registered, QFT_ERROR (-1) if an error occurred, or QFT_REGISTERED (-2) if it was already registered

call q_deregister_foreign_thread() when Qore functionality is no longer required; not calling q_deregister_foreign_thread() will cause a memory leak

Returns
see Return Value Codes for q_register_foreign_thread() for return values
See also
Since
Qore 0.8.7

◆ q_register_reserved_foreign_thread()

DLLEXPORT int q_register_reserved_foreign_thread ( int  tid)

registers a foreign qore thread as a Qore thread with a reserved TID

Parameters
tidthe TID reserved with q_reserve_foreign_thread_id()
Returns
0 for OK, -1 for error (TID invalid or not reserved)
Since
Qore 0.8.7

◆ q_release_reserved_foreign_thread_id()

DLLEXPORT int q_release_reserved_foreign_thread_id ( int  tid)

releases a TID reserved with q_reserve_foreign_thread_id()

Parameters
tidthe TID reserved with q_reserve_foreign_thread_id()
Returns
0 for OK, -1 for error (TID invalid or not reserved)
Since
Qore 0.8.7

◆ q_reserve_foreign_thread_id()

DLLEXPORT int q_reserve_foreign_thread_id ( )

reserves a thread ID for later registration and returns the TID reserved; use q_release_reserved_foreign_thread_id() to release the reservation

Returns
the TID reserved or -1 if an error occurred (thread table full)
Since
Qore 0.8.7

◆ q_start_thread()

int q_start_thread ( ExceptionSink xsink,
q_thread_t  f,
void *  arg = 0 
)

starts a new thread with the given arguments, when the thread terminates, it deregisters itself
