ctThrdData

Returns a pointer to a private data area.

Short Name

ctThrdData()

Type

Threading function

Declaration

 pVOID ctThrdData()

Description

Returns a pointer to the private data area of the current thread, set up during ctThrdCreate(). A NULL return is possible if user_var was NULL at thread create, or if current thread does not appear to have been created within the context of the API.

For efficiency, if a function makes more than one reference to the private data area, a pointer to the area should be included on the functions stack and initialized by a call to this function.

Return

See Description.

Limitations

Can only be used with a ctThrd library.
