_beginthreadx and socket
- by user638197
hi, i have a question about the _beginthreadx function In the third and fourth parameter:
if i have this line to create the thread
hThread=(HANDLE)_beginthreadex(0,0, &RunThread, &m_socket,CREATE_SUSPENDED,&threadID );
m_socket is the socket that i want inside the thread (fourth parameter)
and i have the RunThread function (third parameter) in this way
static unsigned __stdcall RunThread (void* ptr) {
return 0;
}
It is sufficient to create the thread independently if m_socket has something or not?
Thanks in advance
Thank you for the response Ciaran Keating helped me understand better the thread
I'll explain a little more the situation
I´m creating the tread in this function inside a class
public: void getClientsConnection()
{
numberOfClients = 1;
SOCKET temporalSocket = NULL;
firstClient = NULL;
secondClient = NULL;
while (numberOfClients < 2)
{
temporalSocket = SOCKET_ERROR;
while (temporalSocket == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
temporalSocket = accept(m_socket, NULL, NULL);
//-----------------------------------------------
HANDLE hThread;
unsigned threadID;
hThread=(HANDLE)_beginthreadex(0,0, &RunThread, &m_socket,CREATE_SUSPENDED,&threadID );
WaitForSingleObject( hThread, INFINITE );
if(!hThread)
printf("ERROR AL CREAR EL HILO: %ld\n", WSAGetLastError());
//-----------------------------------------------
}
if(firstClient == NULL)
{
firstClient = temporalSocket;
muebleC1 = temporalSocket;
actionC1 = temporalSocket;
++numberOfClients;
printf("CLIENTE 1 CONECTADO\n");
}
else
{
secondClient = temporalSocket;
muebleC2 = temporalSocket;
actionC2 = temporalSocket;
++numberOfClients;
printf("CLIENTE 2 CONECTADO\n");
}
}
}
What i'm trying to do is to have the socket inside the thread while wait for a client connection
Is this feasible as i have the code of the thread?
I can change the state of the thread that is not a problem
Thanks again
