Re: ORBit2.8.3 thread problem



Hi,

Sorry for my last un-clear question. I modify the echo-client.c (comes from
"ORBit beginners Documentation v1.6") and repeat my problem below.

* add "#include <linc/linc.h>" and "#include <pthread.h>"
* add "linc_set_threaded(TRUE)" before CORBA_ORB_init().
* change "orbit-local-orb" to "orbit-local-mt-orb".
* rewrite client_run() as following:

static void
client_run (Echo echo_service,
CORBA_Environment *ev)
{
char buf[1024];
int i = 0;
pthread_t thread;

pthread_create(&thread, NULL, thread_echo, NULL); // create a thread here

for (i=0; i<20000; ++i) { // this will stop when i == 8192 !!!!!!!
printf("Hello %d\n", i);
snprintf(buf, 1024, "Hello %d\n", i++);

Echo_echoString(echo_service, buf, ev);
if (etk_raised_exception (ev)) return;
}


printf("Hit any key to quit\n");
getchar();
}

* create thread_echo() as

void *thread_echo(void *arg)
{
char buf[1024];
int i = 0;

for (i=0; i<20000; ++i) {
printf("Thread %d\n", i);
snprintf(buf, 1024, "Thread %d\n", i++);
Echo_echoString(echo_service, buf, ev);
if (etk_raised_exception (ev)) return;
}
return NULL;
}

* basically, what I did is create a thread. Inside both child thread and
main thread,
I call Echo_echoString() in a loop.
If I comment out the pthread_create(), I can run the client without any
problem.
If the pthread_create() existed, then I can only run the
Echo_echoString() 8192 times
and the main thread hang up.

Could someone tell me what's wrong here ? What's the correct procedure
to invoke
CORBA method (eg Echo_echoString()) from a thread ?
Do I need to change anything in server side ??

Thanks.
