Thread functions in C/C++
In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand thread functions in C/C++.
Thread functions allow users to implement concurrent functions at the same time, which can either be dependent on each other for execution or independent.
Example
#include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> void* func(void* arg){ //detaching the current thread pthread_detach(pthread_self()); printf("Inside the thread\n"); pthread_exit(NULL); } void fun(){ pthread_t ptid; //creating a new thread pthread_create(&ptid, NULL, &func, NULL); printf("This line may be printed before thread terminates\n"); if(pthread_equal(ptid, pthread_self()) printf("Threads are equal\n"); else printf("Threads are not equal\n"); //waiting for the created thread to terminate pthread_join(ptid, NULL); printf("This line will be printed" " after thread ends\n"); pthread_exit(NULL); } int main(){ fun(); return 0; }
Output
This line may be printed before thread terminates Threads are not equal Inside the thread This line will be printed after thread ends
