Chapter 5. Using POSIX Threads > Process Termination
Process Termination
When the main thread completes, all the child threads are terminated and their resources freed. We can see this demonstrated if we build and run the code shown in Listing 5.15.
Listing 5.15. Code to Create a Child Thread
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void* thread_code( void * param )
{
printf( "In thread code\n" );
}
int main()
{
pthread_t thread;
pthread_create( &thread, 0, &thread_code, 0 );
printf( "In main thread\n" );
} |
