pthread_default_rsestacksize_np(3T)pthread_default_rsestacksize_np(3T)NAMEpthread_default_rsestacksize_np() - change the default stacksize.
SYNOPSISPARAMETERS
new_size The new default register stack size.
old_size Pointer to where the old default register stack size is
returned.
DESCRIPTION
The function allows an application to change the default value for the
rsestacksize attribute. This function must be called before any
threads have been created. The new default stack size is passed in the
new_size parameter. If not NULL, the previous default stack size is
returned in old_size. If new_size is zero, this function can be used
(at any time) to query the current default stack size.
On HP-UX, threads with default stack sizes are cached after they termi‐
nate. The next time a thread is created with a default stack size, a
cached thread (and its stack) are reused. This can result in signifi‐
cant performance improvements for
However, if the default register stack size is not appropriate for an
application, it cannot take advantage of this performance enhancement.
By using the function, the threads library will change the default
stack size so that it matches the applications needs. This allows the
application to utilize the performance benefit of cached threads. If
either of the set register stack size APIs is called the register stack
portion of the stack space will be that large instead of size deter‐
mined by the implementation. The memory stack portion will be the
remainder.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, returns zero. Otherwise, an error number is
returned to indicate the error (the variable is not set).
ERRORS
If any of the following occur, the function returns the corresponding
error number:
The value specified by
new_size is less than register stack required for
a thread.
The calling process has already created threads (this must be
called
before any threads are created).
