hi all, I am working on a client-server simulation using pthreads. The client and server processes have multiple threads. The main thread creates those using pthread_create (using default attributes). The server has 3 threads. One of those 3 threads is a server in turn that listens on a port using blocking accept(TCP Socket). After request comes it creates another thread that serves all client requests. The client is also a thread created by initial thread that connects to the server thread and sends some messages. The messages are of size around 110 bytes each. After the message is sent the client thread waits for the acknowledgement from the server thread (using blocking receive) and then sends the next message. The problem I am facing is, for around 1000 messages or so the system works perfectly well. For each of the message the client sends the server threads sends the correct response. However if the number of messages increase, the client thread hangs and the server thread (that was serving the request) is never scheduled back (some other thread is scheduled due to the service thread being blocked permenantly). My question is, is it related to the pthread paramters (should I change something in pthread parameters to solve the problem) or it is the socket parameters that are hampering my program?
