为什么pthread_attr_setstacksize()对我不起作用?

我刚才注意到当我使用pthread_create()生成一个线程时,我为线程设置自定义堆栈大小的请求似乎被忽略了。特别是,如果我从生成的线程中调用pthread_attr_getstacksize(),它总是会报告默认的堆栈大小,而不管我要求的是什么。

在Linux和MacOS / X下都可以看到这种行为,所以我怀疑我做错了什么,但我不知道它是什么。

要重现该问题,请编译并运行以下代码(通过“g ++ stack_test.cpp -lpthread; ./a.out”)。它会尝试一堆不同的堆栈大小并抱怨它的请求不受尊重。有问题的输出如下所示:

Jeremys-Mini:~ lcsuser1$ ./a.out

ThreadFunc:  ERROR, wrong stack size!  (Requested:  8192, got: 524288)

......这是代码:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>

static void * ThreadFunc(void * pDesiredStackSize)
{
   const size_t desiredStackSize = *((size_t *)pDesiredStackSize);

   pthread_attr_t tattr;
   if (pthread_attr_init(&tattr) == 0)
   {
      size_t actualStackSize;
      if (pthread_attr_getstacksize(&tattr, &actualStackSize) == 0)
      {
         if (actualStackSize == desiredStackSize)
         {
            printf("ThreadFunc:  Stack size is as expected:  %zu\n", actualStackSize);
         }
         else
         {
            printf("ThreadFunc:  ERROR, wrong stack size!  (Requested:  %zu, got: %zu)\n", desiredStackSize, actualStackSize);
         }
      }
      else perror("pthread_attr_getstacksize");
   }
   else perror("pthread_attr_init(2)");

   return NULL;
}

static void TestCustomStackSize(size_t desiredStackSizeBytes)
{
   printf("Testing creation of a thread with stack size:  %zu\n", desiredStackSizeBytes);

   pthread_attr_t attr;
   if (pthread_attr_init(&attr) != 0)
   {
      perror("pthread_attr_init");
      return;
   }

   int r = pthread_attr_setstacksize(&attr, desiredStackSizeBytes);
   if (r == 0)
   {
      pthread_t thread;
      if (pthread_create(&thread, &attr, ThreadFunc, &desiredStackSizeBytes) == 0)
      {
         if (pthread_join(thread, NULL) != 0) perror("pthread_join");
      }
      else perror("pthread_create");
   }
   else
   {
      perror("pthread_attr_setstacksize");
      printf("pthread_attr_setstacksize returned %i\n", r);
   }
}

int main(int argv, char ** argc)
{
   const int PAGE_SIZE=8*1024;
   for (size_t stackSizePages=1; stackSizePages<1024; stackSizePages++) TestCustomStackSize(stackSizePages*PAGE_SIZE);
   printf("Done!\n");
   return 0;
}

问题是tattr没有引用当前线程的属性。它只是初始化为一个全新的属性,而pthread_attr_getstacksize()返回给定属性中设置的给定堆栈大小,即传递给它的属性。

因此,如果您将正确的属性传递给pthread_attr_getstacksize(),它应该可以正常工作。

呼叫

  pthread_getattr_np(pthread_self(), &tattr);

  if (pthread_attr_getstacksize(&tattr, &actualStackSize) == 0)

而不是初始化tattr

注意pthread_getattr_np()是非标准函数(不在POSIX中)。
