线程参数打印垃圾值

Question

I was trying a simple program on threads passing the arguments.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<pthread.h>
#include<malloc.h>

#define NUMTHREADS 5

typedef struct _data_t{
        int data;
        char* name;
}_data;

void* mythread(void* arg){
        _data* mydata = (struct _data_t*) arg;
        printf("\n no : %d name : %s \n",mydata->data,mydata->name);
        pthread_exit(NULL);
}

int main(){
        pthread_t tid[NUMTHREADS];
        _data mydata;
        mydata.data = 100;
        mydata.name = "Netapp";
        int i;
        for(i=0;i<NUMTHREADS;i++){
                pthread_create(&tid[i],NULL,&mythread,(void*)&mydata);
        }
        pthread_exit(NULL);
        return 0;
}

Output :

angus@ubuntu:~/angus/thread$ ./a.out

no : 0 name : 1 I ^H H PTI 0@

no : 0 name : 1 I ^H H PTI 0@

no : 0 name : 1 I ^H H PTI 0@

no : 0 name : 1 I ^H H PTI 0@

no : 0 name : 1 I ^H H PTI 0@

Answer 1

When main terminates, mydata ceases to exist, but the threads are still running and accessing it.

You should either wait for the spawned threads to terminate before you exit main (using pthread_join ), or define mydata so that it outlives scope of main .
