Programming

Hi,

I am new to posix threads. The no of threads to be created depends on the runtime. If I get the number of threads,
I need to forward declare

pthread_t mythread[n];

how to do that can I use pointers and use malloc()??

I also have another question. The pthread_join is used to make sure all the threads are completed right?? If I want to spawn new threads and execute threads when a particular set of threads get completed,How to complete it. Is my understanding of pthread_join correct??


function1()
{
for(//some n)
{

pthread_create(..,task1);
pthread_join(...,task1);
}

}

function2()
{

for(//some n)
{

pthread_create(..,task2);
pthread_join(...,task2);
}

}
Does this thing work for the model I ve said??
Thanks & Regards,
brett.
