Other operating systems use pthread_setspecific() * and pthread_getspecific() internally to allow standard library * functions to return static data to threaded applications. * * Additional confusion exists because many operating systems that * use pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() also have *_r versions * of standard library functions for compatibility with operating systems * that require them. However, internally, these *_r functions merely * call the thread-safe standard library functions. * * For example, BSD/OS 4.3 uses Bind 8.2.3 for getpwuid(). Internally, * getpwuid() calls pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() to return * static data to the caller in a thread-safe manner. However, BSD/OS * also has getpwuid_r(), which merely calls getpwuid() and shifts * around the arguments to match the getpwuid_r() function declaration. * Therefore, while BSD/OS has getpwuid_r(), it isn't required. It also * doesn't have strerror_r(), so we can't fall back to only using *_r * functions for threaded programs. * * The current setup is to assume either all standard functions are * thread-safe (NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES=no), or the operating system * requires reentrant function names (NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES=yes). * Compile and run src/tools/test_thread_funcs.c to see if your operating * system requires reentrant function names. */ /* * Wrapper around strerror and strerror_r to use the former if it is * available and also return a more useful value (the error string). */ char * pqStrerror(int errnum, char *strerrbuf, size_t buflen) { #if defined(USE_THREADS) && defined(NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES) /* reentrant strerror_r is available */ /* some early standards had strerror_r returning char * */ strerror_r(errnum, strerrbuf, buflen); return (strerrbuf); #else /* no strerror_r() available, just use strerror */ return strerror(errnum); #endif } /* * Wrapper around getpwuid() or getpwuid_r() to mimic POSIX getpwuid_r() * behaviour, if it is not available or required. */ int pqGetpwuid(uid_t uid, struct passwd *resultbuf, char *buffer, size_t buflen, struct passwd **result) { #if defined(USE_THREADS) && defined(NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES) /* * Early POSIX draft of getpwuid_r() returns 'struct passwd *'. * getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen) * Do we need to support it? bjm 2003-08-14 */ /* POSIX version */ getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen, result); #else /* no getpwuid_r() available, just use getpwuid() */ *result = getpwuid(uid); #endif return (*result == NULL) ? -1 : 0; } /* * Wrapper around gethostbyname() or gethostbyname_r() to mimic * POSIX gethostbyname_r() behaviour, if it is not available or required. */ int pqGethostbyname(const char *name, struct hostent *resbuf, char *buf, size_t buflen, struct hostent **result, int *herrno) { #if defined(USE_THREADS) && defined(NEED_REENTRANT_FUNC_NAMES) /* * broken (well early POSIX draft) gethostbyname_r() which returns * 'struct hostent *' */ *result = gethostbyname_r(name, resbuf, buf, buflen, herrno); return (*result == NULL) ? -1 : 0; #else /* no gethostbyname_r(), just use gethostbyname() */ *result = gethostbyname(name); if (*result != NULL) return 0; else { *herrno = h_errno; return -1; } #endif }
