We had written an application in which we create worker thread.
So the main thread will create the worker thread. After some time
the child thread(Worker thread) will call pthread_exit().
This function was written in try{} and there occured an Exception
and is handled in catch(...) handler.
Can any one tell me the reason why the exception occured.
This is on Linux platform. Fedora Core 6 and gcc 4.1
The Implementation of the code is as follows:
This is a simple form of our application, Try to run this small piece
of code.
The output of this is " FATAL: exception not rethrown
Inside catch... Aborted"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdexcept.h>
#include <pthread.h>
using namespace std;
void print_message_function( void *ptr );
int main()
{
pthread_t thread1;
char *message1 = "Thread 1";
int iret1;
iret1 = pthread_create( &thread1, NULL, (void*(*)(void*))&print_message_function, (void*) message1);
pthread_join( thread1, NULL);
}
void print_message_function( void *ptr )
{
char *message;
message = (char *) ptr;
try
{
pthread_exit((void*) 1);
}
catch(...)
{
printf("Inside catch...\n");
}
}
Can any one tell me the reason why the exception occured?
