Getting errno in a Multithreaded program
In Tru64 Unix, the 'errno' variable is not thread safe.
Could anybody help me about how to make it thread safe or how to check 'errno' in a Multithreaded program ????
The Programming process is like this.
There are some definite number of threads having their own task.
There is one particular thread which tries to read from Disk.
We know that there can be n-number of possibilities for a read to fail. So, depeinding upon the error number thrown from a read failure., I call appropriate thread to take some action .
This task works fine when implemented as a Monolithic Program (i.e., non-multi threaded approach) but since my program is a multithreaded I'm not able to get the appropriate error no. as it is not thread safe.
So, can any body help me out with some technic/method of getting/traping out the appropriate errno.
Thanks in advance.

Hey, Can I assume that for certain function calls, errno can never be set to a certain value.
More specifically, can I assume that for if the stat function call fails, the errno can never be or "No space left on device."
I am assuming that a read function cannot fail because of no space... (5 Replies)

hi all,
i am using pthreads.
What will happen if a thread does a fork?
will all the threads are duplicated for the new process or only the called thread is duplicated?

I'd like to write a program (I'm flexible on language; C/C++ was my original idea but a scripting language would probably be better) that runs hundreds of programs, but only N = 4 (say) at a time. The idea is to keep all the cores on a multicore machine busy.
How can I do this? In particular,... (6 Replies)

here the program gives a odd result:
#include <stdio.h>

return 0;
}
result:
first: Success
next: Illegal seek
why? any resonable explanation? i found no information about this in man pages.

Hi, I need to look at a recent copy of /usr/include/errno.h from AIX 7.2 to check some symbols. In particular, I'm curious if it defines EOWNERDEAD and ENOTRECOVERABLE. Can someone who has access to 7.2 please check for me? Thanks! (1 Reply)
