warning: passing argument 3 of ‘pthread_create’ from incompatible pointer type


Hello there,

I cant understand why this warning: "passing argument 3 of ‘pthread_create’ from incompatible pointer type" occurs, can i get some help plz.Here is my code

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>

int globalVariable;

void *stringManager( char *param );

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
	if(argc!=2){

		fprintf(stderr,"usage:a.out<integer value>\n");

		return -1;

	}

	pthread_t tid;
        pthread_attr_t attr;
	
	pthread_attr_init(&attr);

     	pthread_create(&tid,&attr,stringManager,argv[1]);

	pthread_join(tid,NULL);
	

	printf("Global variable is : %d\n", globalVariable);

	return 0;
}
void *stringManager( char *param )
{
	int i;
	globalVariable=0;

	for( i=0; i<30; i++ )
	{
		printf("%s\n",param);
		globalVariable = globalVariable + 1;
	}
	pthread_exit(0);
}

Hi

Change it to:

void *stringManager( void *param );

This will get rid of the warning. You can then typecast param to char pointer inside the function.
