Other operating systems use pthread_setspecific() * and pthread_getspecific() internally to allow standard library * functions to return static data to threaded applications. And some * operating systems have neither. * * Additional confusion exists because many operating systems that * use pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() also have *_r versions * of standard library functions for compatibility with operating systems * that require them. However, internally, these *_r functions merely * call the thread-safe standard library functions. * * For example, BSD/OS 4.3 uses Bind 8.2.3 for getpwuid(). Internally, * getpwuid() calls pthread_setspecific/pthread_getspecific() to return * static data to the caller in a thread-safe manner. However, BSD/OS * also has getpwuid_r(), which merely calls getpwuid() and shifts * around the arguments to match the getpwuid_r() function declaration. * Therefore, while BSD/OS has getpwuid_r(), it isn't required. It also * doesn't have strerror_r(), so we can't fall back to only using *_r * functions for threaded programs. * * The current setup is to try threading in this order: * * use *_r function names if they exit * (*_THREADSAFE=ye) * use non-*_r functions if they are thread-safe * * One thread-safe solution for gethostbyname() might be to use getaddrinfo(). * * Run src/tools/thread to see if your operating system has thread-safe * non-*_r functions. */ /* * Wrapper around strerror and strerror_r to use the former if it is * available and also return a more useful value (the error string). */ char * pqStrerror(int errnum, char *strerrbuf, size_t buflen) { #if defined(FRONTEND) && defined(ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY) && defined(HAVE_STRERROR_R) /* reentrant strerror_r is available */ #ifdef STRERROR_R_INT /* SUSv3 version */ if (strerror_r(errnum, strerrbuf, buflen) == 0) return strerrbuf; else return "Unknown error"; #else /* GNU libc */ return strerror_r(errnum, strerrbuf, buflen); #endif #else /* no strerror_r() available, just use strerror */ StrNCpy(strerrbuf, strerror(errnum), buflen); return strerrbuf; #endif } /* * Wrapper around getpwuid() or getpwuid_r() to mimic POSIX getpwuid_r() * behaviour, if it is not available or required. */ #ifndef WIN32 int pqGetpwuid(uid_t uid, struct passwd * resultbuf, char *buffer, size_t buflen, struct passwd ** result) { #if defined(FRONTEND) && defined(ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY) && defined(HAVE_GETPWUID_R) #ifdef GETPWUID_R_5ARG /* POSIX version */ getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen, result); #else /* * Early POSIX draft of getpwuid_r() returns 'struct passwd *'. * getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen) */ *result = getpwuid_r(uid, resultbuf, buffer, buflen); #endif #else /* no getpwuid_r() available, just use getpwuid() */ *result = getpwuid(uid); #endif return (*result == NULL) ? -1 : 0; } #endif /* * Wrapper around gethostbyname() or gethostbyname_r() to mimic * POSIX gethostbyname_r() behaviour, if it is not available or required. * This function is called _only_ by our getaddinfo() portability function. */ #ifndef HAVE_GETADDRINFO int pqGethostbyname(const char *name, struct hostent * resultbuf, char *buffer, size_t buflen, struct hostent ** result, int *herrno) { #if defined(FRONTEND) && defined(ENABLE_THREAD_SAFETY) && defined(HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R) /* * broken (well early POSIX draft) gethostbyname_r() which returns * 'struct hostent *' */ *result = gethostbyname_r(name, resultbuf, buffer, buflen, herrno); return (*result == NULL) ? -1 : 0; #else /* no gethostbyname_r(), just use gethostbyname() */ *result = gethostbyname(name); if (*result != NULL) *herrno = h_errno; if (*result != NULL) return 0; else return -1; #endif } #endif
