I tried #1, still got 0.0.0.0 with it.. As far as #2, the issue is that I want to know what machine it is, so I don't know what to ping (and in any case, there's no need for me to ping it, since if...

jim,

I'm a bit confused. If the client attempts to do a 'bind', won't it get an error that it's already in use?

Show us the code where you are requesting and accepting the string to begin with, then we'll show you how to modify it for the error checking.

if x is 6 and y is 2, then the result is 0.

If you want to make sure there are no numbers in a string, you can do a find_first_of( "01234567890"). If it equals anything other than string::npos, it's got a number in there.

I guess the main question I have is how to define a variable that is not shared among threads inside a function that is used by a thread...

I figured out a way to do it, just not sure if it's the right way. Let me know what you guys think:
Temp.cpp

extern "C"
{
#include "pthread.h"
#include "Thread.h"
}
#include <iostream>...

I modified Thread.h to add the pthread_self() which shows which thread id it has...


#include "stdio.h"
#include "Temp.h"
pthread_mutex_t ilock;
void * myTest(void * arg)
{
char * test =...

Hi Guys,
So I'm trying to experiment with threads, though I'm running into some problems. Basically I'm trying to create multiple threads, where each thread is passed a different set of data. In...

Yes, just look at the other members of the tm struct.
