Hi,

Who can i just spawn a thread from a function ?
By what THREAD_LOOP must be replaced, or how this must made ?
Thx, i can't find this information anywhere..

ex:
==


#define THREAD_LOOP(x) while (1) pth_sleep (x)

static void* my_handler (_arg)
  void* _arg;
{
  int tmp;

  while (1)
    scanf ("%u", &tmp);
}

/* ----- */

int
my_spawn (void)
{
  pth_attr_t attr = pth_attr_new ();
  (void) pth_spawn (attr, my_handler, NULL);
  pth_attr_destroy (attr);
  
  THREAD_LOOP(5);

  /* UNREACHABLE */
  return 0;
}

/* ----- */

int
main (void)
{
  (void) my_spawn ();

  return 0;
}

this code generate this gdb output :

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x400203b2 in pth_key_getdata ()
(gdb) bt
#0  0x400203b2 in pth_key_getdata ()
#1  0x4001fc7a in pth_event ()
#2  0x40021925 in pth_sleep ()
#3  0x1833 in my_spawn ()
#4  0x184d in main ()
