in thread Threads sharing global variable

It hangs on Windows; and will eventually hang everywhere if you add any useful code to the while loops.

Well, there you go. This is the difference between users and experts. The difference between playing and knowing.

    How would I know? I don't use linux; and I rarely ever rely upon the broken semantics of condition variables.

    Why would I when there are so many better mechanisms on my platform.

    As for expertise; if you are so expert, why do you need me to tell you about the limitations of your platform; much less expect me to help you debug them.
