Re: Creating a new thread inside a module

Hi All,

I am still unable to create a new thread inside the balancer_init function.
Here the way that I tried. But in this way  new thread was created and it
terminate after the balancer_init function finish its context. I want run
this new thread for ever until the server stop. Please help me to solve this
problem...


static int balancer_init(apr_pool_t *p, apr_pool_t *plog,
                         apr_pool_t *ptemp, server_rec *s)
{
  apr_status_t rv;
  apr_thread_t *tp;
  apr_threadattr_t *thd_attr;

          rv =apr_thread_create(&tp, thd_attr, doit, ptemp, p);
          apr_thread_detach(tp);

//do some thing here
//
//

return 0;
}

here is the function passes for creation new thread


static void* APR_THREAD_FUNC doit(apr_thread_t *thread, void *data)
{
         while(1){
                   printf("ok");
                   //do some thing here
                   }
}

Watch which pool you create the thread in.  Also your thread can terminate
whenever it wants to return; - it's up to your code to keep itself alive.

Make sure you guys use the correct pool for thread creation.
The best is to use the child's main pool or to create
the child pool from it.

Hi Iroshan and  All,

Same problem here. I passed function with infinite while loop when creating
the thread . Thread creation is done inside a function of another module.
But after call the module function thread also terminate. What are the steps
that I have missed here.

Thank you.
