Linux中pthread_detach()线程注意

一、创建分离线程

有两种方式创建分离线程：

（1）在线程创建时将其属性设为分离状态(detached)；

（2）在线程创建后将其属性设为分离的(detached)。

二、分离线程的作用

由系统来回收线程所占用资源。

三、实例

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <time.h>

void* thread1(void *arg)
{
    while (1)
    {
        usleep(100 * 1000);
        printf("thread1 running...!\n");
    }
    printf("Leave thread1!\n");

    return NULL;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    pthread_t tid;

    pthread_create(&tid, NULL, (void*)thread1, NULL);
    pthread_detach(tid);  // 使线程处于分离状态
    sleep(1);
    printf("Leave main thread!\n");
    pthread_exit("end"); //这个地方执行后，子进程并没有退出
//    return 0; //return后，系统会调用_exit，所有进程都会退出。
}
 

#gcc a.c -lpthread

#./a.out
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!

thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!

thread1 running...!

可以看出main线程退出后，thread_1并没有退出。

$ cat a.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <time.h>

void* thread1(void *arg)
{
    while (1)
    {
        usleep(100 * 1000);
        printf("thread1 running...!\n");
    }
    printf("Leave thread1!\n");

    return NULL;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    pthread_t tid;

    pthread_create(&tid, NULL, (void*)thread1, NULL);
    pthread_detach(tid);  // 使线程处于分离状态
    sleep(1);
    printf("Leave main thread!\n");
    return 0;
}

$ ./a.out
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
thread1 running...!
Leave main thread!

可以看出main线程return后，子线程也退出了。

如果把pthread_deteach改为pthread_join，因为子线程是while(1）所有主线程也不会退出。

#include <time.h>

void* thread1(void *arg)
{
    while (1)
    {
        usleep(100 * 1000);
        printf("thread1 running...!\n");
    }
    printf("Leave thread1!\n");

    return NULL;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    pthread_t tid;

    pthread_create(&tid, NULL, (void*)thread1, NULL);
    //pthread_detach(tid);  // 使线程处于分离状态
    pthread_join(tid,NULL);  // 使线程处于分离状态
    sleep(1);
    printf("Leave main thread!\n");
    return 0;
}

这可以在main中使用pthread_cancel，明确退出子线程。
