Question

I did some research and I learned that if I run a program my system will automatically start it in a new thread. What does it look like with a DLL?

Some pseudo-code from a DLL, extern_func() is exported from the DLL:

func1()
{
  while(true) ...do something;
}
extern_func()
{
  ...do something
  func1();
  ...do something else
}

Now if call extern_func() in my program, will it run the function in a new thread or do I have to do this explicitly?

Answer 1

No, calling a method in another dll will not automatically start up a new thread.
