RE: Memory leak with detached threads

["Tim Theisen" <ttheisen at tomotherapy dot com>]

Did you consider using the latest version?

The current version is 2.7.0 (2005-06-04)

http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/

Version 2.6.0 specifically mentions a resource leak with
pthread_detach():

* pthread_detach() now reclaims remaining thread resources if called
after
the target thread has terminated. Previously, this routine did nothing
in
this case.

Subject: Memory leak with detached threads

Hi all,
    I found a memory leak working with detached threads.
    I just made a simple C code to demonstrate where I have the memory
leak.

    Running the attached C code I saw about 4KB of memory leak every 20
iteration.

    I'm using pthreads-dll-2005-03-08.

    Could you tell me if I'm wronging something or if it is a bug?
    Thanks in advance
       giu
