Pthreads in C++

Reshmi, the simplest meaningful example that I was able to come up with was the one I wrote for the pthreads article I have on this page: http://blog.emptycrate.com/node/270.

However, I don't recommend using pthreads in C++. It has several disadvantages, mostly in that it was written to work with C more than C++, so you must use a static or global function to launch your C++ code. The pthreads article linked above describes that in more detail.

I strongly recommend using a higher level abstraction such as boost::threads as this article describes or building or using some even higher level abstraction.
