Josh Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I found out about the CreateThread mem leak and am switching the code to use _beginthreadex instead. However, the function is not recognized in Visual Studio. I do have the code generation set to multi-threaded. Does anyone know why this would still be happening?

Josh Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 Ah, I had to include <Process.h>. Quote Let's build cool stuff and have fun.
Canardia Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I would use pthreads, because it's cross-platform. It's built-in in mingw64, but for VisualStudio it's a seperate download: http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ Quote ■ Ryzen 9 ■ RX 6800M ■ 16GB ■ XF8 ■ Windows 11 ■ ■ Ultra ■ LE 2.5 ■ 3DWS 5.6 ■ Reaper ■ C/C++ ■ C# ■ Fortran 2008 ■ Story ■ ■ Homepage: https://canardia.com ■
Josh Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 It already uses pthreads for everything but Windows. What do they do, make a wrapper around the Windows thread functions? On Windows, you have three thread creation functions: CreateThread _beginthread _beginthreadex And I guess the first two produce memory leaks with C++. Fortunately, you can slip _beginthreadex in easily and if you designed your threads around CreateThread, it still works the same. Quote Let's build cool stuff and have fun.
