The result of attempting to forcibly destroy the region when a process

Processes using a shared memory region maintain an open file descriptor

On UNIX systems, the region removal should succeed
and processes that have already joined the region should continue to
run in the region without change,
however processes attempting to join the \\$1 will either fail or
attempt to create a new region.
On other systems, e.g., WNT, where the
.IR unlink (2)
system call will fail if any process has an open file descriptor
for the file,
the region removal will fail.
.PP
In the case of catastrophic or system failure,
database recovery must be performed (see

Alternatively, if recovery is not required because no database state is
maintained across failures,
it is possible to clean up a \\$1 by removing all of the

as \\$1 files are never created in any directory other than the one

.TH DB_THREAD 3 "January 18, 1998"
.UC 7
.SH "NAME
db_thread \- using threads in the DB library.
.SH "DESCRIPTION
.Gn
.PP
This manual pages describes the specific details of using DB from
within threaded programs.
.PP
The DB library is not itself multi-threaded.
The library was deliberately architected to not use threads internally
because of the portability problems that using threads within the library
would introduce.
Object handles returned from DB library functions are free-threaded,
i.e., threads may use handles concurrently,
by specifying the DB_THREAD flag to
.IR db_appinit (3)
(\c
or, in the C++ API,
.IR DbEnv::appinit (3))
and the other subsystem open functions.
Threading is assumed in the Java API,
so no special flags are required,
and DB functions will always behave as if the DB_THREAD flag was specified.
.PP
DB supports multi-threaded applications with the caveat that it loads
and calls functions that are commonly available in C language environments
and which may not themselves be thread-safe.
Other than this usage,
DB has no static data and maintains no local context between calls to
DB functions.
To ensure that applications can safely use threads in the context of DB,
porters to new operating systems and/or C libraries must confirm that the
system and C library functions used by the DB library are thread-safe.
.PP
There are some additional caveats about using threads to access
the DB library:
.TP 2
\(bu
The DB_THREAD flag must be specified for all subsystems either explicitly
or via the
.I db_appinit
(\c
.IR DbEnv::appinit )
function in the C and C++ APIs.
Threading is assumed in the Java API,
so no special flags are required,
and DB functions will always behave as if the DB_THREAD flag was specified.
.sp
Setting the DB_THREAD flag inconsistently may result in database corruption.
.TP 2
\(bu
Only a single thread may call the close function for a returned database
or subsystem handle.
See
.IR db_open (3)
(\c
.IR Db::open (3))
and the appropriate subsystem manual pages for more information.
.TP 2
\(bu
Either the DB_DBT_MALLOC or DB_DBT_USERMEM flags must be set in a DBT used
for key or data retrieval.
See
.IR db_dbt (3)
(\c
.IR Dbt (3))
for more information.
.TP 2
\(bu
The DB_CURRENT, DB_NEXT and DB_PREV flags to the
.I log_get
(\c
.IR DbLog::get )
function may not be used by a free-threaded handle.  If such calls are
necessary, a thread should explicitly create a unique DB_LOG handle by
calling
.IR log_open (3)
(\c
.IR DbLog::open ).
See
.IR db_log (3)
(\c
.IR DbLog (3))
for more information.
.TP 2
\(bu
Each database operation (i.e., any call to a function underlying the
handles returned by
.IR db_open (3)
and
.IR db_cursor (3))
(\c
.IR Db (3)
and
.IR Dbc (3))
is normally performed on behalf of a unique locker.
If, within a single thread of control,
multiple calls on behalf of the same locker are desired,
then transactions must be used.  For example, consider the case where
a cursor scan locates a record, and then based on that record, accesses
some other item in the database.  If these are done using the default
lockers for the handle, there is no guarantee that these two operations
will not conflict.  If the application wishes to guarantee that the
operations do not conflict, locks must be obtained on behalf of a transaction,
instead of the default locker id, and a transaction must be specified to
the cursor creation and the subsequent db call.
.TP 2
\(bu
Transactions may not span threads, i.e.,
each transaction must begin and end in the same thread,
and each transaction may only be used by a single thread.
.TP 2
\(bu
Spinlocks must have been implemented for the compiler/architecture
combination.
Attempting to specify the DB_THREAD flag will fail if spinlocks are not
available.
.TP 2
\(bu
The DB library makes a system call to pause for some number of microseconds
when it is necessary to wait on a lock.
This may not be optimal,
especially in a thread-only environment where it will be more efficient to
explicitly yield the processor to another thread.
It is possible to specify a yield function on an per-application basis,
see
.IR db_jump_set (3)
for more information.
.SH "COMPILING THREADED APPLICATIONS
Special compile-time flags are required when compiling threaded applications
with the UNIX include files on some architectures.
.PP
On IRIX, if you are compiling a threaded application,
you must compile with the -D_SGI_MP_SOURCE flag:
.PP
.ti +5
cc -D_SGI_MP_SOURCE ...
.PP
On OSF/1, if you are compiling a threaded application,
you must compile with the -D_REENTRANT flag:
.PP
.ti +5
cc -D_REENTRANT ...
.PP
On Solaris, if you are compiling a threaded application,
you must compile with the -D_REENTRANT flag and link with the -lthread
library:
.PP
.ti +5
cc -D_REENTRANT ... -lthread
