pthreads update for the adventurous

[Billinghurst, David (CRTS)]

OK.  I'll bite.  

I have built cygwin1.dll from cvs, then proceeded to build and test gcc-3.0
with --enable-threads=posix.  This seems to work OK.    

I then tried example 1 from
http://www.llnl.gov/computing/tutorials/workshops/workshop/pthreads/MAIN.htm
l (below) using standard cygwin gcc-2.95.3-2 and the gcc-3.0 I built.  There
appears to be a problem with pthread_exit() as the program never exits.  I
tried to debug this, but soon got lost.

   printf("\n%d: Hello World!\n", threadid);
   pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main()
{
   pthread_t threads[NUM_THREADS];
   int rc, t;
   for(t=0;t<NUM_THREADS;t++){
      printf("Creating thread %d\n", t);
      rc = pthread_create(&threads[t], NULL, PrintHello, (void *)t);
      if (rc){
         printf("ERROR; return code from pthread_create() is %d\n", rc);
         exit(-1);
      }
   }
   pthread_exit(NULL);
}
