C++ Multithread Tutorial

Example 1

Creating and terminating thread by using

pthread_create, pthread_exit(status)

 

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <pthread.h>

using namespace std;

#define NUM_THREADS     5

void *PrintHello(void *threadid)
{
   long tid;
   tid = (long)threadid;
   cout << "Hello World! Thread ID, " << tid << endl;
   pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main ()
{
   pthread_t threads[NUM_THREADS];
   int rc;
   int i;
   for( i=0; i < NUM_THREADS; i++ ){
      cout << "main() : creating thread, " << i << endl;
      rc = pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, 
                          PrintHello, (void *)i);
      if (rc){
         cout << "Error:unable to create thread," << rc << endl;
         exit(-1);
      }
   }
   pthread_exit(NULL);
}

compile it with g++ xxx.cpp -o test -lphread

 

Example 2

Passing Arguments to Threads

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <pthread.h>

using namespace std;

#define NUM_THREAD 5

struct thread_data  {
	int thread_id;
	char *message;
};

void *PrintHello(void *threadarg)  {
	struct thread_data *my_data;
	my_data = (struct thread_data*) threadarg;

	cout << "Thread ID : " << my_data->thread_id << endl;
	cout << "message : " << my_data->message << endl;

	pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main()  {
	pthread_t threads[NUM_THREAD];
	struct thread_data td[NUM_THREAD];

	int rc;
	int i;

	for(i = 0; i < NUM_THREAD; i ++)  {
		cout << "main() : creating thread " << i << endl;
		td[i].thread_id = i;
		td[i].message = "This is message";
		rc = pthread_create(&threads[i], NULL, PrintHello, (void*)&td[i]);
		
		if(rc)  {
			cout << "Error : unable to create thread " << rc << endl;
			exit(-1);
		}
	}
	pthread_exit(NULL);
}
