在同一个程序中创建多个线程
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#define NUM_THREADS 6
void *thread_function(void *arg);
int main()
{
int res;
pthread_t a_thread[NUM_THREADS];
void *thread_result;
int lots_of_threads;
for(lots_of_threads = 0; lots_of_threads < NUM_THREADS; lots_of_threads++)
{
res = pthread_create(&(a_thread[lots_of_threads]), NULL, thread_function, (void *)&lots_of_threads);
if (res != 0)
{
perror("Thread creation failed");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
// sleep(3);
}
printf("Waiting for threads to finish...\n");
for(lots_of_threads = NUM_THREADS - 1; lots_of_threads >= 0; lots_of_threads--)
{
res = pthread_join(a_thread[lots_of_threads], &thread_result);
if (res != 0)
{
perror("Thread join failed");
}
printf("Pick up a thread\n");
}
printf("All done\n");
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
void *thread_function(void *arg)
{
int my_number = *(int *)arg;
int rand_num;
printf("thread_function is running. Argument was %d\n", my_number);
rand_num = 1 + (int) (9.0 * rand() / (RAND_MAX + 1.0));
sleep(rand_num);
printf("Bye from %d\n", my_number);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
运行结果:
奇怪的是一些线程以相同的参数被启动
原因是线程函数的参数是一个局部变量,这个变量在循环中被更新
引起问题的代码行:
for(lots_of_threads = 0; lots_of_threads < NUM_THREADS; lots_of_threads++)
{
res = pthread_create(&(a_thread[lots_of_threads]), NULL, thread_function, (void *)&lots_of_threads);
原因:
如果主线程运行的足够快,就有可能改变某些线程的参数(即lots_of_threads)
解决:
直接传递这个参数的值
for(lots_of_threads = 0; lots_of_threads < NUM_THREADS; lots_of_threads++)
{
res = pthread_create(&(a_thread[lots_of_threads]), NULL, thread_function, (void *)lots_of_threads);
同时修改thread_function函数
void *thread_function(void *arg) {
int my_number = (int)arg;
