[PATCH] maintenance: compare output of pthread functions for inequality with 0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Seija <doremylover123@xxxxxxxxx>

The documentation for pthread_create and pthread_sigmask state that:

"On success, pthread_create() returns 0;
on error, it returns an error number"

As such, we ought to check for an error
by seeing if the output is not 0.

Checking for "less than" is a mistake
as the error code numbers can be greater than 0.

    maintenance: compare output of pthread functions for inequality with 0
    
    The documentation for pthread_create and pthread_sigmask state that "On
    success, pthread_create() returns 0; on error, it returns an error
    number, and the contents of *thread are undefined."
    
    As such, we ought to check for an error by seeing if the output is not
    0, rather than being less than 0, since nothing stops these functions
    from returning a positive number.
