Ns_BeginDetachedThread

Overview

Syntax

    int Ns_BeginDetachedThread(
    Ns_ThreadProc *start_routine, 
    void *arg
    );

Description

Ns_BeginDetachedThread creates a thread which cleans up its data as soon as it ends. Note that detached threads' ids can be reused immediately by the system, and they cannot be waited on.

Examples

    static void
    ThreadStart(void *arg)
    {
    	int n;
    
    	n = (int) arg;
    	Ns_Log(Notice, "%d: %d", Ns_GetThreadId(), n);
    }
    
    /*
      * ManyThreads - Create 10 threads which all log a message.
      */
    static void
    ManyThreads(void)
    {
    	int i;
    
    	for (i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
    		Ns_BeginDetachedThread(ThreadStart, (void *) i);
    	}
    }
