C++ : How to pass class member function to pthread_create() ?
POSIX Library provides a function pthread_create() to create threads i.e. #include <pthread.h> int pthread_create(pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t *attr, void *(*start_routine) (void *), void *arg); It accepts a function pointer as startup routine. This function accepts void * as argument and returns void *. In previous article we discussed how to use this API with global functions …

POSIX : How to get thread Id of a pthread in Linux | pthread_self() | pthread_equals()
In this article we will discuss how to get thread id of a pthread and compare different thread ids. How to get thread id of current thread Use pthread_self() to get the current thread id i.e. Advertisements #include <pthread.h> pthread_t pthread_self(void); It returns the thread id as pthread_t object for the calling thread. As main function is …

POSIX : Detached vs Joinable threads | pthread_join() & pthread_detach() examples
With every thread some resources are associated like stack and thread local storage etc. When a thread exits ideally these resources should be reclaimed by process automatically. But that doesn’t happens always. It depends on which mode thread is running. A Thread can run in two modes i.e. Joinable Mode Detached Mode Joinable Thread & pthread_join() …
