PTHREAD_CLEANUP_PUSH_DEFER_NP(3)			     Linux Programmer's Manual				  PTHREAD_CLEANUP_PUSH_DEFER_NP(3)

NAME
pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np, pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np - push and pop thread cancellation clean-up handlers while saving cancelabil- ity type SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h> void pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(void (*routine)(void *), void *arg); void pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(int execute); Compile and link with -pthread. DESCRIPTION
These functions are the same as pthread_cleanup_push(3) and pthread_cleanup_pop(3), except for the differences noted on this page. Like pthread_cleanup_push(3), pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np() pushes routine onto the thread's stack of cancellation clean-up handlers. In addition, it also saves the thread's current cancelability type, and sets the cancelability type to "deferred" (see pthread_setcancel- type(3)); this ensures that cancellation clean-up will occur even if the thread's cancelability type was "asynchronous" before the the call. Like pthread_cleanup_pop(3), pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np() pops the top-most clean-up handler from the thread's stack of cancellation clean-up handlers. In addition, it restores the thread's cancelability type to its value at the time of the matching pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(). The caller must ensure that calls to these functions are paired within the same function, and at the same lexical nesting level. Other restrictions apply, as described in pthread_cleanup_push(3). This sequence of calls: pthread_cleanup_push_defer_np(routine, arg); pthread_cleanup_pop_restore_np(execute); is equivalent to (but shorter and more efficient than): int oldtype; pthread_cleanup_push(routine, arg); pthread_setcanceltype(PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED, &oldtype); ... pthread_setcanceltype(oldtype, NULL); pthread_cleanup_pop(execute); CONFORMING TO
These functions are nonstandard GNU extensions; hence the suffix "_np" (nonportable) in the names. SEE ALSO
pthread_cancel(3), pthread_cleanup_push(3), pthread_setcancelstate(3), pthread_testcancel(3), pthreads(7) COLOPHON
