| Summary | 0000624: pthread_cleanup_pop and _push should be macro only | ||||||
| Description |
pthread_cleanup_pop and pthread_cleanup_push are required to have a prototype in pthread.h[1] and they need to be available as functions[2], a macro implementation is not enough. these functions are expected to be implemented as macros because a correct function implementation is hard to do. the requirement to have them as regular functions is too strong. [1] pthread.h contains the usual disclamer before the list of functions: "The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided." [2] from section 2.1.1: "Any macro definition of a function can be suppressed locally by enclosing the name of the function in parentheses, [...]. The use of the C-language #undef construct to remove any such macro definition shall also ensure that an actual function is referred to." "Provided that a function can be declared without reference to any type defined in a header, it is also permissible to declare the function explicitly and use it without including its associated header." |
||||||
| Desired Action |
allow pthread_cleanup_pop and pthread_cleanup_push to only have a macro definition in pthread.h so #undef-ing or otherwise suppressing these macros may not make a function version available and there may not be a prototype available in pthread.h |

Interpretation response ------------------------ The standard states that pthread_cleanup_push and pthread_cleanup_pop shall be implemented as functions as well as macros, and conforming implementations must conform to this. However, concerns have been raised about this which are being referred to the sponsor. Rationale: ------------- Existing implementations exclusively implement these functions as function-like macros, and do not provide any underlying function. The application usage and rationale provided show an implementation that only works as a macro. Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation): ------------------------------------------------------- Page 1574 line 50552 change "These functions may be implemented as macros. " to: It is unspecified whether pthread_cleanup_push and pthread_cleanup_pop are macros or functions. If a macro definition is suppressed in order to access an actual function, or a program defines an external identifier with any of these names the behavior is undefined. Cross Volume change to XBD, page 312 lines 10448 and 10449: delete pthread_cleanup_push and pthread_cleanup_pop from this list. Add a new paragraph after line 10542: The following may be declared as functions, or defined as macros, or both. If functions are declared, function prototypes shall be provided. pthread_cleanup_pop pthread_cleanup_push |
