Using CMPI with threads |
| |
----------------------- |
| |
|
| |
CMPI provides API functions for low-level thread, mutex and conditional constructs. |
| |
Hence you can compile your provider without needing to link to pthread or other |
| |
threading library. |
| |
|
| |
However, the developer is responsible for memory management of these constructs and |
| |
as well of exiting the threads before the cleanup function is exited. If this is not |
| |
done, the thread will be forcefully terminated. This can have the nasty consequence of |
| |
hanging CIMServer, or bringing down the CIMServer, or just the Out-of-Process Provider |
| |
Agent if you run OpenPegasus with 'run-as-requester' configuration flag turned on. |
| |
Please refer to the Admin Guide or the readme files for more details about this flag. |
