QNX多线程编程 thread example

在QNX Momentics环境中有几个样例供初学者参考，学习QNX多线程编程的一个好方法是导入QNX的多线程样例，测试运行后分析样例代码，和自己编写测试样例相比，这种方法可以减少输入错误，配置错误等低级错误带来的问题。

 

在QNX Momentics中选择“File->New -> Example...”打开样例向导，选择“QNX Example Neutrino Threads Project”。然后保留缺省设置，点击“Next”，“Finish”即可创建QNX多线程样例工程。

所创建的工程的目标系统是X86，所以在QNX虚拟机上不需要修改就可以运行，选择项目，点击右键并选择“Build Project”对项目进行编译。

运行成功后，控制台输出如下

It's * not a process that actually runs, it's (at least) one thread * that runs inside. * Threads are the ones being scheduled, they are consuming * CPU time when they run. * Per default, a process has one thread, the main thread. * To create this main thread, you don't need to do anything, * it is created automatically for you. * You can create further threads within your process, for  * example to parallelize tasks. A process has its own virtual * address space. All threads share the memory of the process. * In this example program, we will create some additional * threads using the appropriate functions. */ /* In a second thread related example, * "example_sched.c", we will play with priorities * and scheduling algorithms. */ /* More information: * See "Processes and Threads" in the Programmer's Guide, * chapter "Programming Overview".  * You will find it in the Help Viewer. */#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <sys/neutrino.h>#include <pthread.h> // needed when you create thread#include <sched.h>#include <unistd.h>void *functionA();void *functionB();void *universalthread(int parameter);/* At this point our process goes live and has one thread, the * main thread.

总结，pthread_create(,,,)创建线程(包括共享资源线程)，sleep悬挂线程（时间单位 s），pthread_join()让主线程等待某一线程结束

pause(); 悬挂改线程，直有信号量输入，后面的代码不执行。
