Creating pthreads in for loop

Hi all,

I'm encountering a little problem creating a variable amount of pthreads.
I tried to create this threads in a loop, but that will give me a segmentation fault...

Salem explained here why, but there isn't a solution for me in that topic.

Is there a way to create a number of threads in a for loop?

I was trying it this way, but as said before, that gives a segmentation fault.

Code:

---


void* function(int nmbr){
    int i;
    pthread_t threads[nmbr];

    for(i=0;i<nmbr;i++){
        pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL,function2,(void *)i);
        pthread_join(thread[i],NULL);   
    }
return NULL;
}

I don't really see anythying wrong with what you've posted - other than not checking return values.

Let's see function2().

i do not see a reason to create thread and suspend the calling thread till created thread exits - you can just call the function2 in a loop with the same effect

so what is your intentions?

and also - could you show the function2 code - I'm interested how you read the parameters

Thanks codeplug for the quick reply.

It is a big bummer :) There was u huge seg fault in function2 :)

Thanks for paying my attention to it.

But Salem is wrong in his post than?

Salem is correct. That code used "&i" and you are using "(void*)i".
