在win32线程之间传递消息

PostThreadMessage

This function places a message in the message queue of the specified thread  and then returns without waiting for the thread to process the message.

BOOL PostThreadMessage(
  DWORD idThread, 
  UINT Msg, 
  WPARAM wParam, 
  LPARAM lParam 
); 
Parameters
 
 

  
  
   
   idThread 

  
  
  
  

   
   [in] Identifier of the thread to which the message will be posted. 

  
  
  
  
   
   Msg 

  
  
  
  

   
   [in] Specifies the type of message to be posted. 

  
  
  
  
   
   wParam 

  
  
  
  

   
   [in] Specifies additional message-specific information. 

  
  
  
  
   
   lParam 

  
  
  
  

   
   [in] Specifies additional message-specific information. 
  
  
 
 
Return Values
Nonzero indicates success. Zero indicates failure. To get extended error 
information, call GetLastError. GetLastError 
returns ERROR_INVALID_THREAD_ID if idThread is not a valid thread 
identifier.
Remarks
The thread to which the message is posted retrieves the message by calling 
the GetMessage or PeekMessage function. The hwnd member 
of the returned MSG structure is NULL.
PostThreadMessage可以用于线程之间的异步通讯，因为它不用等待调用者返回，
这也许是线程通讯中最简单的一种方法了。

但是要注意以下问题
1 .PostThreadMessage有时会失败，报1444错误(Invalid thread identifier. )
其实这不一定是线程不存在的原因，也有可能是线程不存在消息队列(message queue)造成的。
事实上，并不是每个thread都有message queue,那如何让thread具有呢？
答案是，至少调用message相关的function一次，比如GetMessage,PeekMessage。

2.如果是post动态分配的memory给另外一个thread,要注意内存的正确释放。

3.PostThreadMessage不能够post WM_COPYDATE之类的同步消息，否则会报错

4.最好不要使用PostThreadMessage post message给一个窗口,使用PostMessage替代。

下面
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstdio>
#include <process.h>

#define MY_MSG WM_USER+100
const int MAX_INFO_SIZE = 20;

HANDLE hStartEvent; // thread start event

// thread function
unsigned __stdcall fun(void *param)
{
    printf("thread fun start\n");

    MSG msg;
    PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, WM_USER, WM_USER, PM_NOREMOVE);

    if(!SetEvent(hStartEvent)) //set thread start event 
    {
        printf("set start event failed,errno:%d\n",::GetLastError());
        return 1;
    }
    
    while(true)
    {
        if(GetMessage(&msg,0,0,0)) //get msg from message queue
        {
            switch(msg.message)
            {
            case MY_MSG:
                char * pInfo = (char *)msg.wParam;
                printf("recv %s\n",pInfo);
                delete[] pInfo;
                break;
            }
        }
    };
    return 0;
}

int main()
{
    HANDLE hThread;
    unsigned nThreadID;

    hStartEvent = ::CreateEvent(0,FALSE,FALSE,0); //create thread start event
    if(hStartEvent == 0)
    {
        printf("create start event failed,errno:%d\n",::GetLastError());
        return 1;
    }

    //start thread
    hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex( NULL, 0, &fun, NULL, 0, &nThreadID );
    if(hThread == 0)
    {
        printf("start thread failed,errno:%d\n",::GetLastError());
        CloseHandle(hStartEvent);
        return 1;
    }

    //wait thread start event to avoid PostThreadMessage return errno:1444
    ::WaitForSingleObject(hStartEvent,INFINITE);
    CloseHandle(hStartEvent);

    int count = 0;
    while(true)
    {
        char* pInfo = new char[MAX_INFO_SIZE]; //create dynamic msg
        sprintf(pInfo,"msg_%d",++count);
        if(!PostThreadMessage(nThreadID,MY_MSG,(WPARAM)pInfo,0))//post thread msg
        {
            printf("post message failed,errno:%d\n",::GetLastError());
            delete[] pInfo;
        }
        ::Sleep(1000);
    }

    CloseHandle(hThread);
    return 0;
}
