与 pthread_create 不兼容的指针类型 (C)

Question

我正在从事一个个人项目，该项目使用多线程拆分数组、搜索目标以及 return 匹配数。我的早期代码有一个错误和一些错误。

错误...

main.c:117:10: warning: passing argument 1 of 'pthread_create' from incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]

In file included from main.c:5:0: /usr/include/pthread.h:225:12: note: expected 'pthread_t * restrict' but argument is of type 'pthread_t **'

我是 POSIX 的新手，不知道这里出了什么问题。

错误...

我的大循环应该循环只要 index < totalElems 只循环一次。它进入小循环并退出两者而不是循环更多。我不确定这是为什么。

头文件...

#ifndef COUNT_ARRAY_H
#define COUNT_ARRAY_H


// structure declarations
typedef struct
{
 int     threadNum;
 int     *array;
 int     first;

 int     target;
 int     numFound;

} ThreadInfo;


// function prototypes
void*   ThreadFunc(void  *vptr);


#endif  // COUNT_ARRAY_H

// configure the array to work with

//and fill array here

    // % rand() and maxRand to get good range and
    //not go beyond users max number
    myArray[index] = (rand() % maxRand);

                                                            , totalElems
                                                            , numSegs
                                                            , numSegElems);

      first = myArray[0];

      if(index == numSegElems)
        {

         puts(" in if ");
         last = myArray[index];

         printf(" %d \n", index);


// allocate an array to store the thread handles

         auto int arraySeg[numSegElems];

 // loop and create threads (# of segments)

    // allocate a thread info structure from the heap
    //using malloc

         infoPtr = malloc(sizeof(ThreadInfo));
         if(NULL == infoPtr)
           {
            fprintf(stderr, "Unable to allocate ThreadInfo struct for "
                           "thread #%d\n", threadNum);

            continue;
           }
    // store the information in the allocated structure
         infoPtr->target = target;
         infoPtr->threadNum = threadNum;
         infoPtr->first = first;
         infoPtr->last = last;
         infoPtr->array = arraySeg;

    // create the secondary thread, passing the thread info
       if(pthread_create(&threadHandles, NULL, ThreadFunc, &infoPtr))
         {
          fprintf(stderr, "Error: failed to create thread #%d\n", 
          threadNum);
          continue;
         }

    // update the first/last array indexes for the next thread
    //set to zero again??

      }//end small loop to make individual threads

    //increment thread #
       ++threadNum;

    }//end big loop
      // loop and join the threads to fetch each thread's results

    // join with the next thread

        // get the total number of matches from the thread's infoPtr
        // and display a message

        // release the infoPtr structure back to the heap


// display the final results

// release heap memory


   return 0;

}  // end of "main"

我以前做过这样的小项目，但我没看出这里有什么问题。我需要传递 infoPtr 并使用 ThreadFunc 中的成员。我完全像我的其他程序一样这样做，但它不起作用。我已经尝试搜索网站和 google，但也许我无法弄明白，因为它太具体了？此外，删除 & 也无济于事。如有任何帮助，我们将不胜感激！

Answer 1

I'm not seeing what's wrong here.

这里有许多处错误。

让我们考虑一个非常简化的测试用例：

pthread_t *threadHandles;
ThreadInfo *info;

for(index = 0; index < totalElems; index++) {
  info = malloc(sizeof(ThreadInfo));
  pthread_create(&threadHandles, NULL, ThreadFunc, &info);
}
return 0;

问题：

您创建了 N 个线程，然后 return 无需等待其中任何一个。一旦 main returns，所有线程随之蒸发（整个程序终止）。
在循环的每次迭代中，pthread_create 将一个 new 值分配给同一个 threadHandles 变量。您失去了以前的值，因此失去了等待该线程的能力（这也会产生编译器警告，这是您问题的主题）。
您将相同 info 值传递给每个线程，从而泄漏您为它们分配的内存，并在它们之间造成数据竞争。

这是对上述问题的修复（可能还有其他我没有立即发现的问题）：

pthread_t *threadHandles;
ThreadInfo *info;

threadHandles = calloc(totalElems, sizeof(pthread_t));
info = calloc(totalElems, sizeof(ThreadInfo));

for(index = 0; index < totalElems; index++) {
  info[index].threadNum = threadNum;
  // Initialize other elements of info here.
  pthread_create(&threadHandles[index], NULL, ThreadFunc, &info[index]);
}
// Wait for threads to finish
for(index = 0; index < totalElems; index++) {
  pthread_join(threadHanles[index], NULL);
}
// Free memory
free(threadHandles);
free(info);
return 0;
