Re: pthread_create(&ID, NULL, ***AC++MemberFunction***, NULL);

["Ye Liu" <yliu at tibco dot com>]

why the routine of pthread_create should be a static function:

in compilation time, the compiler need an address of the routine, non static
function has no address in the compilation time. i.e., address of automatic
class member function is resolved in run time.
