Subj : Newbie: pthread work queue implementation? To : comp.programming.threads From : R. Rajesh Jeba Anbiah Date : Mon Sep 12 2005 06:55 am Objective: I'm trying to implement a queueing; exactly like using pthreads-win32 (on XP/VC++6.0). That is, say for example, if there is about 8 jobs and 5 threads, all the 5 threads are to be alive/active (it has to take the jobs in queue). I have searched similar implementation in pthread , but couldn't find one. I have also looked at the function documentation , but with my limited knowledge, I couldn't find any close match. I have also googled . So, my question is: What is (are) the equivalent pthread function for the objective? TIA. .
