Hi
You should use "pthread_exit" instead of "return NULL"

Hi all,
After debugging for a number of hours, I found out that the very basics of my
thread usage is causing memory leaks. (I checked it with mtrace and valgrind,
they both say that there is memory leak.)
I have a very simple program below that leaks memory. Can anyone tell me if I
am doing sth wrong, or is it actually some bug in the native thread
implementation?
Any feedback would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Mehmet
PS: I am using Linux 2.4.21 (SuSE 9.0) with gcc 3.3.1 on a AMD64 machine.

#include <iostream>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <mcheck.h>
using namespace std;
void *thFunction(void *arg) {
cout << " Thread started" << endl;
cout << " Thread ending" << endl;
return NULL;
}
int main() {
pthread_t th;
// mtrace();
cout << " Spawning the thread" << endl;
pthread_create(&th, NULL, thFunction, NULL);
pthread_join(th, NULL);
// muntrace();
return 0;
