Multiple arguments to function called by pthread_create()?
Use:
struct arg_struct *args = malloc(sizeof(struct arg_struct));
And pass this arguments like this:
pthread_create(&tr, NULL, print_the_arguments, (void *)args);
Don't forget free args! ;)
use
struct arg_struct *args = (struct arg_struct *)arguments;
in place of
struct arg_struct *args = (struct arg_struct *)args;
main()
has it's own thread and stack variables. either allocate memory for 'args' in the heap or make it global:
struct arg_struct {
int arg1;
int arg2;
}args;
//declares args as global out of main()
Then of course change the references from args->arg1
to args.arg1
etc..
Because you say
struct arg_struct *args = (struct arg_struct *)args;
instead of
struct arg_struct *args = arguments;
