When pthread is enabled, every thread should have its own aux stack space, so the total aux stack space reserved by the compiler will be divided into N + 1 parts, where N is the maximum number of threads that can be created by the user code. + +The default value of N is 4, which means you can create 4 threads at most. This value can be changed by an option if you are using product-mini: +``` bash +./iwasm --max-threads=n test.wasm +``` +If you are going to develop your own runtime product, you can use the API `wasm_runtime_set_max_thread_num` or init arg `init_args.max_thread_num` to set the value, or you can change the macro `CLUSTER_MAX_THREAD_NUM` in [config.h](../core/config.h). + +> Note: the total size of aux stack reserved by compiler can be set with `-z stack-size` option during compilation. If you need to create more threads, please set a larger value, otherwise it is easy to cause aux stack overflow. + +## Supported APIs +``` C +/* Thread APIs */ +int pthread_create(pthread_t *thread, const void *attr, + void *(*start_routine) (void *), void *arg); + +int pthread_join(pthread_t thread, void **retval); + +int pthread_detach(pthread_t thread); + +int pthread_cancel(pthread_t thread); + +pthread_t pthread_self(void); + +void pthread_exit(void *retval); + +/* Mutex APIs */ +int pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex, const void *attr); + +int pthread_mutex_lock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex); + +int pthread_mutex_unlock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex); + +int pthread_mutex_destroy(pthread_mutex_t *mutex); + +/* Cond APIs */ +int pthread_cond_init(pthread_cond_t *cond, const void *attr); + +int pthread_cond_wait(pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_mutex_t *mutex); + +int pthread_cond_timedwait(pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_mutex_t *mutex, + unsigned int useconds); + +int pthread_cond_signal(pthread_cond_t *cond); + +int pthread_cond_broadcast(pthread_cond_t *cond); + +int pthread_cond_destroy(pthread_cond_t *cond); + +/* Pthread key APIs */ +int pthread_key_create(pthread_key_t *key, void (*destructor)(void *)); + +int pthread_setspecific(pthread_key_t key, const void *value); + +void *pthread_getspecific(pthread_key_t key); + +int pthread_key_delete(pthread_key_t key); +``` + +## Known limits +- `pthread_attr_t`, `pthread_mutexattr_t` and `pthread_condattr_t` are not supported yet, so please pass `NULL` as the second argument of `pthread_create`, `pthread_mutex_init` and `pthread_cond_init`. +- The `errno.o` in wasi-sysroot is not compatible with this feature, so using errno in multi-thread may cause unexpected behavior. +- Currently `struct timespec` is not supported, so the prototype of `pthread_cond_timedwait` is different from the native one, it takes an unsigned int argument `useconds` to indicate the waiting time. -- cgit v1.2.3
