that should probably be the thread created by the kernel to deal all the threads created by your program. regards. -----Original Message----- From: Nguyen, NguyenX D [mailto:nguyenx.d.nguyen@intel.com] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 9:53 PM To: kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org Subject: pthread_create creating 2 threads on first call Hello folks, I have a simple demo program that call pthread_create 5 times with identical parameters. On the FIRST call to pthread_create, two threads are created. One of these thread is what I am expecting. On subsequent call to pthread_create, only one thread is created as expected. Does anyone happen to know why on the FIRST call to pthread_create, two threads are created? What does the extra one do? Many thanks! - Nguyen ps: I am compiling with the -pthread switch. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
