I'm suggesting that you consider at least something like a shared memory array instead of an internal array, so you have to have a way to communicate. Assuming you need to track what is going on. You can create non-detached threads and still not have to call pthread_join until you know the thread has ended.
Include some timing component in the array - a start time in epoch seconds maybe.
After some ridiculous amount of time has elapsed, like 30 minutes, call pthread_cancel on the offending thread_id. Then open up the slot for reuse.
If threads are dumping core or corrupting memory then this will not fix the problem.
Only code changes can fix that.

Hello,
i have 2 questions:
1. Can I get the current memory usage of a thread?
2. Can I use a member-function as (void*)(*)(void*) method to create a new thread with "pthread_create(...)"??
I would be happy about any suggestion.
