linux pthread_create

#include <pthread.h>

int pthread_create(pthread_t *thread, const pthread_attr_t *attr,void *(*start_routine) (void *), void *arg);

4个参数：

第一个参数：指向线程标示符pthread_t的指针；

第二个参数：设置线程的属性（一般为0）

第三个参数：线程运行函数的起始地址(函数原型为void * start_routine  (void *))

第四个参数：运行函数的参数

thread.c 实例代码如下

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.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 creation 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_SUCCESS);
   }
   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");
}

（编译的命令为 gcc thread.c -o thread -lpthread）
