Pthread_exit and/or pthread_join causing Abort and SegFaults?

See below on why you should not depend on volatile in pthreads. However, your specific problem is probably because you malloc your pthread array, based on the num_of_threads variable before you've actually set num_of_thread from argv.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
