passing int array to thread?

hiho@ll

how does this really work:

Code:

int array[2]={0};

array[0]=10;

array[1]=20;



pthread_create(&thread,NULL,this->mythread,(void*)array);



void* mythread(void *arg){

 int *tmp=(int*)arg;

 printf("OUTPUT: %d %d\n",tmp[0],tmp[1]);

}

i get:
OUTPUT: 134583088 1078320720

what's this??
i think it's a cast problem
but how do i pass a int array to a thread?

thx@ll

I'm guessing your array is a local variable on the stack. Once you leave the function that you declared that variable in, the memory for it goes away, so you are probably using a dangling pointer in your thread function. Try allocating the memory for the array with new/malloc instead.

edit: thx, i didn't see your post because i wrote this post beneath while you wrote your reply ;-)
i'll check it tomorrow
thx

i think the problem was/is that i want to code something like a proxy class

the proxy class generates two threads which are listening on 2 sockets using select();
because i want it really full duplex i use 2 threads

if i use a static char* buffer both threads get the socket descriptor numbers

but i can't really use a static buffer, not?
because if there is another object, the threads will overwrite themself, not?
hmm *thinking*
