Hi, I'm trying to learn multithreading and it doesn't seem to be working for
me. I have a feeling it has to do with the fact that I'm writing to files
rather than to printf, but maybe not. Basically, I wanted to see if it
would be faster to write to 4 files at the same time (parallel) rather than
4 in a row (serially). however, when my multithreaded code executes, it
seems to do them in order anyway (I expected to see Starting/Ending all
mixed rather than in order). Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? (Note,
I also tried to do it with 4 different functions (ie, go, go1, go2, etc..,
but that didn't seem to fix it).
See code below and output below.
#include "stdio.h"
#include <pthread.h> /* pthread functions and data structures */
void * go ( void * data1 )
{
long i=0;
FILE * file;
char * name;
name = (char *) data1;
printf( "Starting '%s'\n", name );
file = fopen( name, "w" );
for ( i=0;i< 10000000;i++)
{
fprintf( file, "%ld\n", i );
}
fclose(file);
printf( "Ending '%s'\n", name );
pthread_exit(0) ;
}
int main()
{
int thr_id, thr_two, thr_three, thr_four; /* thread

char a1[]="a1";
char b1[]="b1";
char c1[]="c1";
char d1[]="d1";
printf( "Creating threads...\n" );

Threads are not part of C itself.
There are multiple competing thread packages. Looks to me that
what you want is to find a discussion area that knows something
about POSIX threads.

How long does it take to create a thread, vs the time it takes to
execute the work in the thread?

This is why system-specific questions are off-topic on comp.lang.c. The
OP's message strongly hints that he is on a UNIX box, however the reply
contains Windows code. I don't think it's going to work.

You have helped nobody by answering off-topic questions and failing
to redirect it to a competent newsgroup. Your answer is
meaningless because there is nobody here (at least in theory) to
criticize it. Meanwhile you have just wasted bandwidth.

Since this isn't a C issue (you're using some system specific exten-
sions and your problem seems to be with these, not C) your chances
here are rater slim. Did you already try in comp.unix.progr ammer or
comp.unix.solar is? While I don't read comp.unix.solar is I know that
multi-threaded programming is a topic that comes up regularly in
comp.unix.progr ammer.

I'm new to C++ and I have some basic questions.
I have written an app that does some network stuff in a worker thread. The
thread function requests something from the server, gets it and creates an
object from the server response. Does this thread terminate/stop/die as soon
as it completes its last line of code? Or do I have to do something to kill
it?
I am used to coding Java so I am totally unsure of what I have to do to
"clean up"...

Hello,
Greetings! I'm looking for a solid C++ multithreading book. Can you
recommend one? I don't think I've seen a multithreading C++ book that
everybody thinks is good (like Effective C++ or Exceptional C++, for
example). Platform-specific (e.g.: Win32, POSIX) is OK, as long as it's
good :)
Thank you,
