I would say your description fits the typical use case. > By calling `pthread_detach()` on a `pthread_t` you _semantically_ > destroy/close it and should not use it any more. Well, maybe. I certainly don't find anything in the pthread standard that justifies this semantic interpretation (nor that contradicts it). I do expect that many people look at it the way you do. One can certainly imagine a use case where "using" a detached thread (and calling pthread_setschedparam() on it) would make sense. Detached threads still respect synchronization objects (e.g., mutexes and condition variable, but not pthread_join). So maybe you have a detached thread servicing some sort of queue (controlled by a condition variable) and you want to throttle it by changing its priority, so you want to call pthread_setschedparam() on it. Of course, you can easily work around this issue by not detaching the thread. > > Best regards, > lh_mouse > 2016-06-01 Happy Hacking! > 发件人："Burkhardt, Glenn B UTAS" <[email protected]> > ... > 主题：[Mingw-w64-public] winpthreads, pthread_setschedparam, > and detached threads > > The way the winpthreads code is writing, the Windows handle for the thread is > cleared when the thread is made detached.
