Type: Proposal Status: Draft

Todos:

  • Rework and aligned examples.
  • Convert SAL examples to 'C'
  • Bug examples for SAL threads.
  • Issues for the bugs.

Two types of Threads

Activity

  • Activities keep the process alive.
  • The last activity terminating leads to the termination of the entire process.
  • An activity must be detached, as it is not going to be joined.

Examples

  • A thread dispatching user interface events.
  • A thread dispatching remote UNO messages.

Daemon

  • Daemons don't keep the process alive.
  • A daemon must be joinable, as it is going to be joined during shutdown of the subsystem.
  • The termination of a daemon may be enforced by asking it for cancellation (pthread_cancel) or by killing (pthread_kill) it.

Sleepy Daemons

Daemons waiting for an event (e.g. a condition) to do something, going to sleep afterwards again.

Short lived Daemons

Daemons doing something asynchronously, terminating afterwards.

Examples

  • A thread flushing a cache every once a while.

Notes

  • Threads may dynamically switch from one type to the other and vice versa.
  • The "main" thread starts an activity.

Executable and Library using SAL

SAL Thread Issues:

  • Different semantic of UNIX and Win32 implementations
  • Problematic "pthread_detach" in UNIX usage, likely leading to races if trying to join a thread.
  • Problematic "CloseHandle" in Win32 usage, only easily possible to create "detached" (daemon) threads if calling "osl_destroyThread" from within the new thread.

RFE:

  • Reliable thread cancellation mechanism ...
  • Result setting function. Needed in multi-thread keeping process alive scenario.
  • Passing of the "oslThread" object to the worker function, otherwise it must be explicitly passed with help of conditions etc.
  • Better named "osl_scheduleThread".
  • A way to get this threads "oslThread".
  • Missing pendant to "pthread_exit" / "ExitThread" and therefore also missing clean-up handlers etc.
  • Less capable cancellation mechanism compared to "pthread_cancel"
