Create a Thread
int pthread_create (pthread_t *restrict thread, const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr, void *(*start_routine)(void*), void *restrict arg ) ;
– Must create a pthread_t variable to hold the thread pointer, used further to control thread
– Thread attr can be 0, and I usually use 0
– Pointer to a function defined as: void* start_routine(void*)
– arg is the void* to the arguments
Compiling
When compiling programs that use the pthread library you need to link the library.
This is done like this :
$ gcc program.c -lpthread
$ gcc program.c -lpthread –o program
Eclipse
When compiling programs that use the pthread library you need to link the library.
.
Make sure you have in Project -> Settings -> C/C++ Build the option “Generate Makefile automatically” selected! Otherwise Eclipse assumes you are providing your own makefile and doesn’t show the “Tool setting” tab shown below..
.
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Gcc C Compiler -> Miscellaneous , add “-pthread” in Other flags
.
Project -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Gcc C++ linker -> Libraries , add “pthread”
.
When you will compile your project you´ll can see the configurations/parameters you have added.
