strange behavior with single thread


Hi All,

I have a _very_ simple thread app which I've modified from the
"twothreads.c" example.

It does nothing except start a thread in which I simply print a debug
message and declare
a var of "struct sockaddr_in". But on starting the app, it stops after a call to
cyg_thread_resume(), i.e the thread does not start!

I had originally written a limited DHCP server implementation (which
was not working)!
So on debugging I narrowed down the problem to a declaration of
"struct sockaddr_in"
variable.

So I thought I'd make a simple thread which just declares this var and
does nothing. And
even in this sample app (test.c) I saw the same problem. I've
allocated a big enough stack
for the thread - 4KB. Also, increasing the stack size does not help.
The source is pasted
below.

I know this is only some minor oversight from my side, but any
pointers will be very helpful

Thanks,

test.c:

#include <cyg/kernel/kapi.h>
#include <network.h>

cyg_thread test_s;
cyg_handle_t test_thread;
cyg_thread_entry_t test_start;
char stack[4096];


void test_start(cyg_addrword_t data)
{
    diag_printf("TEST!\n");
    struct sockaddr_in addr;
    cyg_test_exit();
}

void cyg_user_start(void)
{
    diag_printf("Configuring test thread...\n");
    cyg_thread_create( 4,
                       test_start,
                       (cyg_addrword_t) 0,
                       "TEST Thread",
                       (void *) &stack,
                       4096,
                       &test_thread,
                       &test_s );


    diag_printf("Starting test...\n");
    cyg_thread_resume(test_thread);
}
