Front
Explain the concepts of 'Cancellation State' and 'Cancellation Type' in thread programming.
Back
- 'Cancellation State': Determines if a thread is cancellable or not. It can be either 'enabled' or 'disabled.'
- 'Cancellation Type': Specifies how a thread responds to a cancellation request. It can be either 'deferred' or 'asynchronous.'
- 'Cancellation Type': Specifies how a thread responds to a cancellation request. It can be either 'deferred' or 'asynchronous.'
Extra
- 'Cancellation State': When set to 'disabled,' the thread will ignore cancellation requests, effectively postponing them until it transitions to an 'enabled' state.
- 'Cancellation Type': In 'deferred' type, a thread checks for cancellation at certain points called cancellation points. In 'asynchronous' type, the thread can be cancelled at any moment, which requires caution due to the potential for leaving resources in an inconsistent state.
- 'Cancellation Type': In 'deferred' type, a thread checks for cancellation at certain points called cancellation points. In 'asynchronous' type, the thread can be cancelled at any moment, which requires caution due to the potential for leaving resources in an inconsistent state.
