Hi all,
I'm having some issues on a multi-thread app. Wonder if ne1 may help me out...
Since I followed an article from codeguru i'm posting the link directly to the thread as it contextualizes the issue:
http://www.codeproject.com/threads/s...0&forumid=2285
My comment is the newest one (arleybls).
Cheers,

1. It's C++, and not C
2. It's windows specific
Thread moved.
The orginal article is indeed in C++, but my app is in C, as u may find on the comment posted by me on the article :-/Quote:

This is a local variable
You pass a pointer to this local variable to a thread
This function exits, and the local variable disappears
What do you think will happen when the thread tries to dereference it's pointer?

What exactly are you trying to print here?
The address where the string is stored, or the address of your local variable (you get the 2nd)
Also, you have an excess of ; at the end of each code block.
You don't need ; after a brace in code.

Actually, the threads do not use dwThreadId in any way. I will later use it to shut them down..but they're not meant to pass values to the threads, and they don't. They're only used to store the Thread's ID passed back by the CreateThread() function.
>...your local variable (you get the 2nd)
That's exactly what I wanna get, as having the same string printed on different variables address means that two distinct threads are receiving the same value. Since I'm using critical section to lock and unlock the FIFO pop/push operations, and the push itself does w8s for a free thread trough events...that was not supposed to happen..and that is exactly the main problem...how the hell do I finish with the same string on two different threads!
Codeproject post is not a forum but a comment public space to the article itself. As the code is based on the article, it came to me that linking back to it would make more sense than compiling a huge post explaning the problem again. I also did post on Microsoft's public.win32.programmer.kernel, can't see how stressing posting on 2 forums can be...but, sorry anyway.
;;;;; u're right, I need to get my code diet...
