Multiple arguments to worker thread.

[WiKiDJeFF]

Im looking for an example of how to pass multiple arguments to a worker thread.

thx in advance.

struct THREADPARAMS
{
  int iParam;
  void *pParam;
  long lParam;
};

DWORD ThreadProc(void *p)
{
  THREADPARAMS *pars = (THREADPARAMS)p;
  pars->iParam...
  // ...
  delete pars;
}

void func()
{
  HANDLE hThread;
  THREADPARAMS *pars = new THREADPARAMS;
  pars->iParam = 3;
  pars->pParam = &something;
  pars->lParam = 2348329;
  hThread = CreateThread(ThreadProc, pars);
}

The way this is written there is one limitation: once CreateThread is called the creating thread may not access pars anymore in any way since it can' t know when the other thread finishes and deletes the parameters. If you still need the access you must think if a different way to avoid a leak.
