Why does linking with pthread cause a segmentation fault?

Question

I have a stripped down simple program with a static variable (\'abc.cpp\'):

#include 

int main(int, char**)
{
  static const std::string a(\         


        

Answer 1

$ man gcc

is your friend. There is more to using the threading library than just including the library in the linking step: the files should be compiled using the "-pthread" switch too.
