#include int pthread_create(pthread_t *restrict tidp,const pthread_attr_t *restrict attr, void *(*start_rtn)(void),void *restrict arg); Returns: 0 if OK, error number on failure
第一个参数为指向线程标识符的指针。
第二个参数用来设置线程属性。
第三个参数是线程运行函数的起始地址。
第四个参数是运行函数的参数。
当创建线程成功时,函数返回0,若不为0则说明创建线程失败,常见的错误返回代码为EAGAIN和EINVAL。前者表示系统限制创建新的线程,例如线程数目过多了;后者表示第二个参数代表的线程属性值非法. pthread_create的用法:由于pthread库不是Linux系统默认的库,所以在使用pthread_create创建线程时,需要在编译中请加-lpthread参数,eg:gcc -o test -lpthrea test.c
例1:
#include "pthread.h" #include "stdio.h" void* thread_test(void* ptr) { while(1) printf("i am pthread\n"); } int main() { pthread_t pid; pthread_create(&pid, NULL, test_thread, NULL); while(1) printf("i am main pthread\n"); return 0; }
例2:
#include #include pthread_t id; int ret; void thread_1() { while(1) {printf(“I am thread\n”); sleep(1); } } main() {ret = pthread_create(&id,NULL,(void*)thread_1,NULL); if(ret != 0) printf("Create pthread error!\n"); while(1) { printf(“I am main thread\n”); sleep(2); } }
例3:
#include #include #include #include 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); //pthread_join 阻塞执行的线程直到某线程结束 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"); } [root@plinux tmp]# cc -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/nptl thread2.c -o thread2 -L/usr/lib/nptl -lpthread [root@plinux tmp]# ./thread2 thread_function is running. Argument was Hello World Waiting for thread to finish... Thread joined, it returned Thank you for the CPU time Message is now Bye! pthread_join() void pthread_exit(void *retval) int pthread_join(pthread_t pid, void **thread_return)
