Programming

hi,

i have to do a program with following condition. please help me to write the program.
conditions-i have to create a thread with handle called first and it should call the member function(may do anything lik print anything) of a class called thread1 and for example let take that this first thread executes in 5 minutes and this thread with handle called first must create another thread with handle called second which executes a member function in another class called thread 2.let take this thread takes 10 minutes to complete.lets take the main function will get over in 2 minutes.i should synchronise the main function and the two threads without using any predefined function like pjoin etc..


i have to synchronise the main function and two thread without using predefined functions like pjoinetc.this is my problem in simple terms.. could anyone help please..

Why can you not use pthread_join(), etc. You have to use a thread library to create threads. This sounds a little like homework.

hi, ya it looks like home work only but i want to implement this without using pjoin function.i can create thread using a function in thread library but should not use pjoin to wait for that thread to complement..i should implement this by wrriting my own code.. how can i do this.please help me...

Again, why? What requirements does the pre-existing function not fulfill? Without knowing that we're likely to duplicate the same problem other ways...

my tutor asked me to do without using pjoin so that i can understand lot about thread how it works, how can we use it,how synchorisation works like that..
