Re: pthread creates one extra thread

[Shine Mohamed <shinemohamed_j@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Shesha Sreenivasamurthy ,

I am sorry if I am wrong.
I tested your code. But I could
see only one process with the name 
"thread" with "two threads". I think
u might be mistaken.

And when I included one more thread
in the code, I could see the total number 
threads is three. So I think its working
fine.
 
Note:
For ps I used additional options 'm'.
i.e, ps -efm

Regards,
Shine Mohamed
