VMS Help POSIX Threads, TIS routines *Conan The Librarian |
The HP proprietary TIS interface provides routines that you use
to build thread-safe libraries whose own routines do not create
threads, but which can safely be called from a multithreaded
environment. TIS routines are functionally identical to their
corresponding routines in the PTHREAD interface. See the Guide to
the POSIX Threads Library documentation for more information.
In a program that creates threads, TIS routines provide full
thread synchronization and memory coherence. But, when run in
a program that does not use threads, the same TIS calls provide
low-overhead "stub" implementations of PTHREAD features. That
is, the objects created using the TIS interface are the same as
PTHREAD objects. When threads are present, the guidelines for
using PTHREAD routines apply also to the use of the corresponding
TIS routine.
