r6.1.1:thread_return_t

Source File

/test/src/abstraction.h

Typedef

typedef [type]  thread_return_t;

Notes

To abstract away the differences in the return value in the thread function prototype on different platforms, liblfds uses a typedef.

Examples

On Windows, the thread function prototype, ThreadProc, is;

DWORD WINAPI ThreadProc( __in  LPVOID lpParameter );

We see that the return type is a DWORD. (WINAPI is a define for __stdcall, which specifies the calling convention, rather than the return type; we are only interested in the return type).

As such, on the Windows platform, thread_return_t looks like this;

typedef DWORD  thread_return_t
