I am trying to run the following simple program which uses multithreading using pthreads. I compile it like: gcc -lpthread programName.c and it compiles fine. However, when I run it gives errors which I have pasted at the bottom of program. #include<pthread.h> #include<stdio.h> void *thread_routine(void* arg) { printf("Inside newly created thread \n"); } int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { pthread_t thread_id; void *thread_result; pthread_create(&thread_id, NULL, thread_routine, NULL); printf("Inside main thread \n"); pthread_join(thread_id, &thread_result); } ----------------------- Errors: --------------------- /2.c: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `(' ./2.c: line 4: `void *thread_routine(void* arg)' Any help will be appreciated!!
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=pthread_create If you don't know how to find working examples with Google then multithreaded programming is going to be WAAAAAAAAAAY beyond you. Multithreaded programming done correctly is *A LOT* harder than using Google.
@xpi0t0s I already figured out what was wrong with that code. People like you are useless and just know how to make sarcastic comments.
I guess you didn't check the link then. One of the top few items was a working example. Maybe I'm less useless than you think.
