一个简单的线程程序

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
void *thread_function(void *arg);
char message[]="hello world";
int main()
{
    int res;
    pthread_t a_thread;
    void *thread_result;
    res=pthread_create(&a_thread,NULL,thread_function,(void *)message);
    if(res!=0)
    {
        perror("Thread creationm failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    printf("Waiting for thread to finish...\n");
    res=pthread_join(a_thread,&thread_result);
    if(res!=0)
    {
        perror("Thread join failed");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    printf("Thread joined,it returned %s\n",(char *)thread_result);
    printf("Message is now %s\n",message);
    exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
void *thread_function(void *arg)
{
    printf("thread_function is running.Argument was %s\n",(char *)arg);
    sleep(3);
    strcpy(message,"Bye!");
    pthread_exit("Thank you for the CPU time");

}

这里需要注意的是pthread虽然在ubuntu里面存在一个头文件，但是在codeblock下面编译的时候会报错，发现pthread_create和pthread_join没有定义，这里我们需要利用指令对其进行编译，使用gcc thread.c -o a.out -lpthread就可以得到一个a.out文件，执行一下就可以看到我们的结果.
