Threads in c language!!

can any one help me out in creating thread in c language??

Threads are not supported by the C standard. Support for threads is platform-dependent; some operating systems support them and some don't. Many compilers provide libraries for accessing operating system support for threads, but some don't.

In order to even begin to answer your question, we must know what operating system you are using. And what compiler. For example, Turbo C 2 offers absolutely no threading support, since it's a 16-bit DOS compiler; MS-DOS did not support threading.

i am using gcc and the opreating system is Redhat!

If you're looking for third-party libraries, I recommend boost threads.

pthreads, then. It's been a long time since I've played with it, but Google should yield plenty of hits.

any one has sample code here for implementing thread in c??

The problem with using Google to find something is that you need to know what it's called. You need to know that both for setting the search words and for recognizing which hits would be useful.

I gave you that. Now you can Google for information on pthreads and for sample code. Now go Google.

i have gone through google enough found sevral pthread examples but every time i am compiling the code i get the following error...

/tmp/ccSzMvuS.o: In function `main':
thread.c.text+0x80): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

or this



/tmp/ccmrzvzA.o: In function `main':
thread.c.text+0x3d): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
thread.c.text+0x62): undefined reference to `pthread_create'
thread.c.text+0x78): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
thread.c.text+0x8b): undefined reference to `pthread_join'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

That means it can't find your thread library. Stick a -lthread at the end of your gcc command line.

ok no the problem is solve a bit!!!

but the code wat m trying to write is not satisfiying me following is the code!!




#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void *PrintHello(void *threadid)
{
printf("Hello World!\n");
}

void start()
{
pthread_t threads[1];
int rc;
long t;
rc = pthread_create(&threads[1], NULL, PrintHello, (void *)1);

if (rc){
printf("ERROR; return code from pthread_create() is %d\n", rc);
exit(-1);
}

pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
start();
printf("Thread Still Running");
}

can any one help me with this code!!!!



#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void *PrintHello(void *threadid)
{
while(1)
{
}
}

void start()
{
pthread_t mythread;
rc = pthread_create(&mythread, NULL, PrintHello, NULL);

}

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
start();
printf("Thread Still Running\n");
}

1. Please read the sticky threads and post within [code] and [/code] tags. You're not a newbie here anymore.

2. What exactly is the problem you're having? All I see is some code pasted and no clue as to what problem you're having.

New Friends at Dev Shed Forums:

I am very new to c language.

Going through my first class in the topic.

I have built a program that counts down from 10 to 0 at 1 second intervals and at the end I want to open a URL that will display a rocket launch in a web browser.

I am using a Pelles IDE compiler. Have not been able to find simple commands from the internet that this compiler or this program would accept to open URL. Any idea on how can get to work to open a URL? :

Here is my code so far (I just need to implement the portion of coding that would open a URL):

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void)

{

int x;


for (x = 10; x >= 0; --x)


{

printf("%d\n", x);
if(x <= 10);


{
_sleep(1);
}




}


return(0);

}

please start a new thread for a new topic.
please read the information at my signature to post your code.

Look up the system command.

Meanwhile, if you're on Windows NT or perhaps other Microsoft systems, a c code like
system("start ie rocket.html");
might work.
