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_get_thread_local_data()

DLLEXPORT void * q_get_thread_local_data ( int  key)

returns thread-local data

Note
can only be called in a registered Qore thread
Since
Qore 0.9.5

◆ q_get_thread_local_data_all()

DLLEXPORT q_user_tld * q_get_thread_local_data_all ( int  key)

returns thread-local data

Parameters
keythe key used to save the data
Returns
nullptr if the data was not found, otherwise a pointer to the data structure holding the data
Note
can only be called in a registered Qore thread
Since
Qore 0.9.5

◆ q_get_unique_thread_local_data_key()

DLLEXPORT int q_get_unique_thread_local_data_key ( )

returns a unique ID to use with thread_local_data APIs

Since
Qore 0.9.5

◆ q_gettid()

DLLEXPORT int q_gettid ( )
noexcept

returns the current TID number

Since
Qore 0.9.5.1

Referenced by StreamBase::check(), StreamBase::reassignThread(), and StreamBase::unassignThread().

◆ q_register_foreign_thread()

DLLEXPORT int q_register_foreign_thread ( )

registers the current thread as a Qore thread

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

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; see Return Value Codes for q_register_foreign_thread() for more info
See also
Since
  • Qore 0.8.7: introduced
  • QOre 1.0.10: TIDs are reassigned if possible to supoport Qore thread affinity in foreign language modules

◆ 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

bool  run_destructor = true 
)

returns and removes thread-local data

Parameters

datathe data structure, if found (output variable)
run_destructorif true then the destructor is run when the data is removed; if false, it is not

can only be called in a registered Qore thread
Since
Qore 0.9.5
