RE: .1
Thanks, Matt.
So, just to be sure I understand the strategy, the only time I wouldn't
want to mark a thread for delete as soon as I create it is when I'll
want to come along after it terminates and get its attributes. Such as
its completion status. And then once I've got everything I want I do the
delete.
Right?

| 999.3 | That should work, but along the same lines... | TOOK::GUERTIN | I do this for a living -- really | Fri May 10 1991 13:34 | 24 |
| I believe that would work. But, going on two year old knowledge, there
is also the case of doing a join with a child thread...
stat = mcc_thread_create( Junior, ... &Juniors_thrid, ...);
mcc_thread_delete( &Juniors_thrid);
:
some work
:
stat = mcc_thread_join_all( Juniors_thrid_vec );
Notice that if thread "Junior" exits *before* the join statement that
all knowledge of Junior will be deleted, and the join will fail with
"Thread existence error". But if we did it this way...
stat = mcc_thread_create( Junior, ... &Juniors_thrid, ...);
:
some work
:
stat = mcc_thread_join_all( Juniors_thrid_vec );
mcc_thread_delete( &Juniors_thrid );
The join should always work, even if Junior exits before the join.
