ncurses and threads
 

Can anyone help me that how can I use threads and ncurses in the following scenario.

I want to screens in one screen the user will input the data and in other screen the output will be updated so I don't want that when a user inputs the data the output screen pause and wait for user input.

so can you guys provide a an example code for this.


thanks alot

ncurses is not thread safe. Sorry.

then is there any other way out?

Yes. Don't use ncurses with threads. Figure out another way to do the job.

Or, to put it another way:

Many people assume that they need to use threads, when they don't.

Why do you want to use threads here?

I need to use threads cause,

I have a variable which needs to be update and displayed every second, and simultaneously I need to get input from the user. So what will you suggest in this scenario.

Use the SIGALRM signal.
