hi

I am trying to write some program in linux using kde and QT. I am going to add some threading functions into the program but is having problem with it. What lib should i use for the threads? Saw that glib has some threading functions to use but my kde does not recognise the glib. How do i get the kde to link to glib?

BTW this is a super newbie who needs to hand in the program in a week time!!!

Please help

Search online for POSIX threads

They're the main thing in *nix threading

/*
Don't forget this; you may have to specify full path or pass directory to
gcc via -I option
*/
#include <pthread.h>




/*
Our thread function
*/
void* my_thread_func(void*){
//Whatever it does
.
.
pthread_exit(NULL);//Or some void* if required
}



/*
Thread function(s) is/are created here
*/
void my_thread_creation_func(void* data){
.
.
pthread_t thrd_handle;
int tcr_res;
//Start the thread;you may pass pthread_attr instead of NULL
tcr_res=pthread_create(&thrd_handle,NULL,my_thread_func,(void*)data);
.
.
}

BTW if the thread function is a class method, don't forget that it must
be static.

Use the thread class in Qt (more portable than POSIX threads)

thanks for all the replies ... i have used the Qthread class to implement my threads. but after i write my own cpp file which inherit the qthread and write the run(), i have compile error which says "multiple definition of run() and ClientThread". Anyone has any idea what happen and how to solve it?


sample of my code is below

class MyThread : public QThread {

public:

virtual void run();

private:
void ClientThread(SocketServer );

};

void MyThread::run()
{


SocketServer server ( 2113 );

SocketServer client;

while(true)
{

client.accept(server);
ClientThread(client);
}

return;
}



void MyThread::ClientThread(SocketServer client)
{

while(true)
{
//handleClientRequest

}

closesocket(client);
return;
}

1. Put the class and all other declarations in a separate .h file (which the
.cpp should #include

2. Start the header with
#ifndef _C_Nameofmyheader_h_
#define _C_Nameofmyheader_h_

and end it with

#endif
