Pthread_create() incorrect start routine parameter passing (1 answer)
Closed 3 years ago.
I tried to build a program which should create threads and assign a Print function to each one of them, while the main process should use printf function directly.
Firstly, I made it without any synchronization means and expected to get a randomized output. Later I tried to add a mutex to the Print function which was assigned to the threads and expected to get a chronological output but it seems like the mutex had no effect about the output.
Should I use a mutex on the printf function in the main process as well?
Thanks in advance
My code:
#include
#include
#include
pthread_t threadID[20];
pthread_mutex_t lock;
void* Print(void* _num);
int main(void)
{
int num = 20, indx = 0, k = 0;
if (pthread_mutex_init(&lock, NULL))
{
perror("err pthread_mutex_init\n");
return errno;
}
for (; indx < num; ++indx)
{
if (pthread_create(&threadID[indx], NULL, Print, &indx))
{
perror("err pthread_create\n");
return errno;
}
}
for (; k < num; ++k)
{
printf("%d from main\n", k);
}
indx = 0;
for (; indx < num; ++indx)
{
if (pthread_join(threadID[indx], NULL))
{
perror("err pthread_join\n");
return errno;
}
}
pthread_mutex_destroy(&lock);
return 0;
}
void* Print(void* _indx)
{
pthread_mutex_lock(&lock);
printf("%d from thread\n", *(int*)_indx);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&lock);
return NULL;
}
