[jira] Created: (AXIS2C-1411) thread_unix and thread_windows inconsistency as for axutil_thread_exit

thread_unix and thread_windows inconsistency as for axutil_thread_exit
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: AXIS2C-1411
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1411
             Project: Axis2-C
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: util
         Environment: Unix
            Reporter: Francois Mireaux


In thread_unix.c, axutil_thread_exit :
      - sleep until thread is detached (try_exit is only set to true by axutil_thread_detach)
      - call pthread_kill with 0 as second parameter which has no effect on thread (only test possible errors)
      - call axutil_thread_join which doesn't work on detached thread but return code isn't tested

In thread_windows.c, axutil_thread_exit  simply call TerminateThread which kills the thread (not cleany by the way) before calling axutil_thread_join (try_exit is not used).

[jira] Updated: (AXIS2C-1411) thread_unix and thread_windows inconsistency as for axutil_thread_exit

Posted by "Francois Mireaux (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2C-1411?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Francois Mireaux updated AXIS2C-1411:
-------------------------------------

    Attachment: util.patch

Here is a patch for thread_unix.c to make it work like Windows version (using pthread_cancel instead of pthread_kill) and a new test program test_thread_exit.

But axutil_thread_exit isn't a safe function as a foreign thread can't exit cleanly neither under Windows nor under Unix.
