[zeromq-dev] Something's broken in session_base or there's something I really ought to know about multithreading.

[Claudio Carbone]

I managed to understand an important detail:

the problem arises from how I pass parameters to the child thread.

If I just pass a void pointer to the zmq context, all is fine.
If I pass a pointer to my struct (with explicit castings on both sides), 
the problems shows its head.

Now I don't know enough to understand this, I hope someone more 
knowledgeable can chime in.

Here are the two possibilities

working

void *zmq_cont_ptr = zmq_ctx_new();
pthread_create(&th_hndl_subber, NULL, th_subscriber, zmq_cont_ptr);



non working

typedef struct parameters{
     //Zmqcpp::Context * zmqcont;
     void * zmqcont;
     void (*callback) (std::string);
     std::string ip;
     int conntype;
     std::list<std::string> topics;
}parameters;

parameters myparams;

pthread_create(&th_hndl_subber, NULL, th_subscriber, (void *)&myparams);

void * th_subscriber(void * params)
{
     parameters *myparameters = (parameters *) params;
