Thread: Multi Threading

Hi everyone,


How do I create a multi threading program?

search around for pthread examples. fork() just creates a child process

Hi Happy_Reaper,
let say I'm using visual C++ v6, how would you suggest? I had never tried multi thread before. so basically I doesn't know how to. Is there anything I can look out for?

I think windows has pthreads library, maybe not
try this

Code:

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void *hello(void *arg) {
  printf("hello world\n");
}

int main() {
  pthread_t thread_block;
  void *status;

  if (pthread_create(&thread_block, NULL, hello, NULL) != 0) {
    perror("pthread_create");
    exit(1);
  }

  if (pthread_join(thread_block, &status) != 0) {
    perror("pthread_join");
    exit(1);
  }

  return 0;
}

if not I donno...also this is the C Board, there is also a C++ one which you should probably have asked in since you're using C++

Thanks sl4nted,
To be true my program are in c, even though I use a visual c++ to compile. I'm kind of a green horn so I would really like to try everything. I'll try the example that are listed .. thanks alot. =)
