[M3devel] pthread_create => pthread_join?

[Jay K]

I was wondering..how does one cleanup the result of pthread_create?

 

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/pthread_join.html

 

"It is unspecified whether a thread that has exited but remains unjoined counts against _POSIX_THREAD_THREADS_MAX"

 

 

We never call pthread_join.

We have our own mechanism.

We should probably call pthread_join though?

 

Or detach is sufficient?

 

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/pthread_detach.html

 

"The pthread_join() or pthread_detach() functions should eventually be called for every thread that is created so that storage associated with the thread may be reclaimed

"

 

But what about the wording pthread_join?
