pthread_create -- no callback?

[Evan Pollan]

Thanks for the help inre: getting a linkable pthreads library.  I have
1.3.5 installed and can link (using pthreads, pthread_cond, and pthread_mutex
calls).  However, I can't get pthread_create to call back into my startup
function...

I'm writing a QueueProcessor (producer-consumer pattern) that accepts
implementations of a Task interface.  The QueueProcessor is essentially
a thread pulling Tasks off an STL list + the cond/mutex code to handle the
wait/notify inter-thread communication.

Attached is the source for the QueueProcessor/Task and a test driver.  I've
also attached the output to illustrate the behavior.  Is there something I'm
doing wrong in the pthread_create call?  Notice that none of the messages in
the static driveQueue() call appear, nor anything from
QueueProcessor::processTasks().  The cond/mutex code
QueueProcessor::appendTask() and ::processTasks() is purely conjecture, as I
have no experience w/ POSIX thread wait/notify patterns (too used to the more
OO Java approach).

Ideas?  Any good online pthreads references/faq's that you'd recommend?


regards,
Evan
