Try comp.os.vxworks.

POSIX cleaning ^.^ on real time What if I signal to dead thread?
Nice to question again fellas. How you been!

Lately, I control the signal actions in threads on Vxworks.
I don't know how VxWorks library do the things insightly but Experts
sir!!
please answer my question.


void *test(void *data)
{
        int i ;


        tempo temp; // tempo is just a class


        struct sigaction action;
        action.sa_handler = tempo::signal_handler;


        sigaction( SIGSTOP_TERMINAL_SERVICE, &action, NULL );


        pthread_cleanup_push(tempo::real_cleanup,(void*)(&temp));
        cout<<"middle"<<endl;
    while(1)
    {
        printf("*** %d %d\n", (int)pthread_self(),i);
                i++;
       sleep(1);


           if( i == 5 ){
                pthread_cleanup_pop(0);
                return (void*)0;
           }
    }
        pthread_cleanup_pop(0);
        return (void*)0;



}


and now I will kill the thread by signaling.
thread_t[] is the array of thread id. (pthread_t)

        pthread_kill(thread_t[0],SIGSTOP_TERMINAL_SERVICE);
        pthread_kill(thread_t[1],SIGSTOP_TERMINAL_SERVICE);


and... kill again


        pthread_kill(thread_t[0],SIGSTOP_TERMINAL_SERVICE);
        pthread_kill(thread_t[1],SIGSTOP_TERMINAL_SERVICE);


of course the error occurs. thread_t[0] and [1] no more exist.
But The thing I want to know is that if the thread's dead,
what's gonna happen in signal things written in the middle of the
thread function.
They're - thread cleanup function and signal handler function -
registered by
sigaction and the pthread_cleanup_push.
Registered and Fired when thread function is out??
What is the work kernel does for registered sigaction ?
