在linux下我們可以通過
int pthread_create(pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t *attr,
void *(*start_routine)(void*), void *arg);
來建立線程,但是如何設定線程的優先順序呢?
在討論這個問題的時候,我們先要確定當前線程使用的調度策略,posix提供了
int pthread_attr_getschedpolicy(const pthread_attr_t *attr, int *policy);函數來擷取所
使用的調度策略,它們是:
SCHED_FIFO, SCHED_RR 和 SCHED_OTHER。
我們可以使用
int sched_get_priority_max(int policy);
int sched_get_priority_min(int policy);
來擷取線程線程可是設定的最大和最小的優先順序值,如果調用成功就返回最大和最小的優先順序值,否則返回-1。
從我現在啟動並執行linux系統中,我使用下列程式擷取了對應三種調度策略中的最大和最小優先順序:
policy = SCHED_OTHER
Show current configuration of priority
max_priority = 0
min_priority = 0
Show SCHED_FIFO of priority
max_priority = 99
min_priority = 1
Show SCHED_RR of priority
max_priority = 99
min_priority = 1
Show priority of current thread
priority = 0
Set thread policy
Set SCHED_FIFO policy
policy = SCHED_FIFO
Set SCHED_RR policy
policy = SCHED_RR
Restore current policy
policy = SCHED_OTHER
我們可以看到
SCHED_OTHER
是不支援優先順序使用的,而SCHED_FIFO和SCHED_RR支援優先順序的使用,他們分別為1和99,
數值越大
優先順序越高。 從上面的結果我們可以看出,如果程式控制線程的優先順序,一般是用
pthread_attr_getschedpolicy來擷取系統使用的調度策略,如果是SCHED_OTHER的話,表明當前策略
不支援線程優先順序的使用,否則可以。當然所設定的優先順序範圍必須在最大和最小值之間。我們可以通過
sched_get_priority_max
和sched_get_priority_min來擷取。
可能網友會問,是否我們可以通過
int pthread_attr_setschedpolicy(pthread_attr_t *attr, int policy);來設定自己所需的
調度策略呢?我覺得是完全可以的(有些系統需要定義
_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING),只要
系統實現了對應的調用策略。
說了半天,我們還沒有說,在系統允許使用線程優先順序別的時候,如何設定優先權別呢?
int pthread_attr_setschedparam(pthread_attr_t *attr,
const struct sched_param *param);
int pthread_attr_getschedparam(const pthread_attr_t *attr,
struct sched_param *param);
上面兩個函數分別用於設定線程的優先順序,struct sched_param的定義如下
struct sched_param
{
int __sched_priority; //所要設定的線程優先順序
};
使用的測試程式:

#include <sched.h>
#include <assert.h>

}
return policy;
}
