When programming with pthreads, you pass the thread a function to run when you create it. When this function is done, is the thread cleaned up automatically? Is it necessary to put pthread_join() in...

Thank you, I found out our mainframe does have it already.

Does anyone know where I can find the pthread library for Linux? And I don't want any rude "go google it" responds. I tried that, and all I came up with was one download available for win32.

You use list = names which assigns names to list in your code. You may mean to have that switched. Also, why not read directly into names? I am pretty sure your dispute between 1 and 2 dimensional...

Acquire,

The first thing I noticed was this char names[99][28]= {" "};. If you get an error with that line, try using single quotes instead of double quotes. Double quotes are associated with...

This snippet shows how to use command line arguments as variables in your program. A command line argument is extra information you give a program at runtime, by typing the information after the...

I've been looking for information on threading, and I found information on POSIX pthreads. Apparently, Visual Studio 2005 does not have pthreads.h in their library. I did a search on the computer,...

Hi,

Let me explain a little background of the situation in case there is a wiser solution than vectors. I've got a loop running in a program, and for each loop, I need to add a new element at...

Introduction

Hello everyone. This little code snippet shows you how to read in scan codes from the keyboard. It is slightly different than reading in a regular character. When you use the getch()...

To get the address of the pointer depends on how it was initialized.

If it was initialized as a pointer:

int* int_ptr;


To send the address to an ostream just use out << int_ptr;

If...

To use the time as the seed is very simple.

Make sure you include the <ctime> header.


#include <ctime>


Then, inside ctime there is a function you can call like this:

Well,

I suppose a solution to that would to declare one variable as a pointer and one as an int.

Maybe something like:



int hello;
int *hello_ptr;

How is that hiding a problem vs a solution? I agree that removing the * and not letting hello be a pointer is changing something. Casting hello (which is declared as an int) to an int isn't changing...

Hey,

I found a solution!

Simply force type-cast it as an int.


switch(int(hello))

The problem is with the hello variable.

When you write


int *hello;

// What you're saying is create a pointer called hello.

// When you write
