Question

I’m trying to create an array of threads. In Linux, I did it this like:

pthread_t thr[MAXCONNECTIONS];

On Windows, I don’t find any replacement for this. Is there anyway to create an array or something that replaces this?

Answer 1

HANDLE threads[ThreadCount];

for (int i=0; i < ThreadCount; ++i)
{
   threads[i] = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex( NULL, 0, &ThreadFunc, NULL, 0, &threadID );
}

I’ve left out some stuff but you get the jist. You have an array of HANDLE’s instead of physical threads. You can then pass a HANDLE to various functions to do things on the thread.

WaitForSingleObject(threads[2], INFINITE );
