Defines a pointer to a thread termination callback function. Your thread termination callback function does additional cleanup when the code in a thread finishes executing.

typedef void(* ThreadTerminationProcPtr) (
    ThreadID threadTerminated, 
    void *terminationProcParam
);

You would declare your function like this if you were to name it MyThreadTerminationCallback:

void MyThreadTerminationCallback (
    ThreadID threadTerminated, 
    void *terminationProcParam
);

threadTerminated

The thread ID of the thread being disposed of.

terminationProcParam

A pointer to a void data structure that the SetThreadTerminator function passes to MyThreadTerminationProc.

DISCUSSION

You use the SetThreadTerminator function to install the MyThreadTerminationProc custom termination function. The custom termination function allows you to do additional cleanup when the code in a thread finishes executing or when you call the DisposeThread function to manually dispose of a thread.
