Inter Thread Checker

[lugica2001]

I am trying to use Intel Thread Checker to analyze a Win32 console application that starts two threads that makes some computation in parallel.

The two threads are started with __beginthreadex. Unfortunately, I startthe application form theIntel Thread Checker enviroment the application itself freezes after the second__beginthreadex.

I am trying to use Intel Thread Checker to analyze a Win32 console application that starts two threads that makes some computation in parallel.

The two threads are started with __beginthreadex. Unfortunately, I startthe application form theIntel Thread Checker enviroment the application itself freezes after the second__beginthreadex.

I changed below example from CreateThread() to _beginthreadex(), Intel Thread Checker works well (can detect write/read error). Please visit https://premier.intel.com to submit a ticket with your test case. Regards, Peter
