Subj : Re: stupid threading question .... To : comp.programming.threads From : Daniel Rayment Date : Mon Aug 15 2005 10:23 pm actually i lied there is one "shared" value that being the address of the "work" function. which i dereferece to call the function in the thread. but obviously it wont change any and each thread has a pointer copy of its own. call it a read only shared. .
