error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘void* (*)(void*)’ - pthreads

Question

anisha@linux-y3pi:~> g++ conditionVarTEST.cpp -Wall

conditionVarTEST.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
conditionVarTEST.cpp:33:53: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*         


        

Answer 1

Use

pthread_create (&A, NULL, functionA, NULL); 

instead of casting.

Also the function you use to pass to pthread_create should return a void* so to avoid any problems later, consider changing the function signature to accomodate this.
