ok, understood.
Another thing I've noticed at a couple of forums - people tend to "piggy-back" multiple [somewhat and sometime unrelated] questions on the same original thread. When this happens the thread "splits" and it's becoming harder [even for one person following/answering the thread] to follow issue(s) and for the others to find relative information searching.
I tried to note that to the posters when it does happen, but by then it's somewhat "late in the game".
It might be an idea to mention something in rules about that.
thanks for the kind words, btw.

Hi,
I have a program that has two types of threads:
1) Reader threads
2) Worker Threads
Readers: Their only job is to read files. They just read data from the files and put them into a buffer. They are obviously I/O intensive.
Workers: These are CPU intensive. They do some computation... (5 Replies)

Dear admins,
it seems that some threads or even users have recently (~ 2 days or so) disappeared. Examples: giuliangiuseppe and greycells. The latter asked me for the solution I provided earlier this week.
What happened? Can you help?

pthread_detach
PTHREAD_DETACH(3) Linux Programmer's Manual PTHREAD_DETACH(3)
NAME
pthread_detach - detach a thread
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int pthread_detach(pthread_t thread);
Compile and link with -pthread.
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_detach() function marks the thread identified by thread as detached. When a detached thread terminates, its resources are
automatically released back to the system without the need for another thread to join with the terminated thread.
Attempting to detach an already detached thread results in unspecified behavior.
RETURN VALUE
On success, pthread_detach() returns 0; on error, it returns an error number.
ERRORS
EINVAL thread is not a joinable thread.
ESRCH No thread with the ID thread could be found.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
Once a thread has been detached, it can't be joined with pthread_join(3) or be made joinable again.
A new thread can be created in a detached state using pthread_attr_setdetachstate(3) to set the detached attribute of the attr argument of
pthread_create(3).
The detached attribute merely determines the behavior of the system when the thread terminates; it does not prevent the thread from being
terminated if the process terminates using exit(3) (or equivalently, if the main thread returns).
Either pthread_join(3) or pthread_detach() should be called for each thread that an application creates, so that system resources for the
thread can be released. (But note that the resources of all threads are freed when the process terminates.)
EXAMPLE
The following statement detaches the calling thread:
pthread_detach(pthread_self());

pthread_attr_setdetachstate(3), pthread_cancel(3), pthread_create(3), pthread_exit(3), pthread_join(3), pthreads(7)
