i'm doing something for fun, trying to learn multithreading Problems passing array by reference to threads
but Arno pointed out that my threading via process.h wasn't going to be multi-threaded.
What I'm hoping to do is something where I have an array of 100 (or 10,000, doesn't really matter I don't think), and split up the assignment of values to each thread. Example, 4 threads = 250 values per thread to be assigned.
Then I can use this filled array for further calculations.
Here's some code I was working on (which doesn't work)
#include <process.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <time.h>
//#include <thread>
using namespace std;
void myThread (void *dummy );
CRITICAL_SECTION cs1,cs2; // global
int main()
{
ofstream myfile;
myfile.open ("coinToss.csv");
int rNum;
long numRuns;
long count = 0;
int divisor = 1;
float holder = 0;
int counter = 0;
float percent = 0.0;
HANDLE hThread[1000];
int array[10000];
srand ( time(NULL) );
printf ("Runs (use multiple of 10)? ");
cin >> numRuns;
for (int i = 0; i < numRuns; i++)
{
//_beginthread( myThread, 0, (void *) (array1) );
//???
//hThread[i * 2] = _beginthread( myThread, 0, (void *) (array1) );
hThread[i*2] = _beginthread( myThread, 0, (void *) (array) );
}
//WaitForMultipleObjects(numRuns * 2, hThread, TRUE, INFINITE);
WaitForMultipleObjects(numRuns, hThread, TRUE, INFINITE);
}
void myThread (void *param )
{
//thanks goes to stockoverflow
//http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12801862/problems-passing-array-by-reference-to-threads
int *i = (int *)param;
for (int x = 0; x < 1000000; x++)
{
//param[x] = rand() % 2 + 1;
i[x] = rand() % 2 + 1;
}
}
Can anyone explain why it isn't working?
