threadtest example program:

Description:

	The program threadtest is a program that allows the
	caller to create some threads that do some simple work. 
	It displays a window with three numbered buttons. Clicking
	on one of the buttons creates one or more threads that 
	does some simple work. The number on the button indicate
	how many threads will be created by clicking on that button. 
	Next to each button is a label. The created thread will 
	use that label to let you know that the thread is running. 

	You can run threadtest in the WorkShop debugger to
	experiment with the multi-threaded capabilities of the debugger.

Usage:

	threadtest

Example Scenario:


	Step 1: Make a copy of the program

	Copy the contents of the memerror directory to your own 
	private working area with the following command:

		cp -r /opt/SUNWspro/examples/WorkShop/threadtest ~/threadtest

	NOTE: /opt/SUNWspro is the base directory where the product is
	installed. This directory maybe different in your environment.

	Step 2: Start WorkShop and open the threadtest project. 

	Start WorkShop with the "workshop" command. 

	Since we have already provided a project file for you, select
	Project->Open Project... and select the threadtest.prd project
	that is already in your working area.

	Step 3: Build your own copy of the threadtest executable.

        From the WorkShop main window, go to the Build menu and select the
        "threadtest in ..." target in the lower part of the menu. 
        This launches a build of the program, bringing up the build-output  
        window. The program should build successfully.

        Close the Build Output window when done.

        (or)

        Point WorkShop's Build window to the memerror directory by selecting
        'Build->New Target ...' from either the main window, or from the
        Build window if it's already open. A dialog pops-up. Change the
        value of 'Directory' to the location of threadtest and select
        'threadtest' as the new 'Target'. Click the 'Build' button
        on the dialog.

	Step 4: Run the program under the debugger.

	From the WorkShop main window, select Debug->New Program...
        and fill out the resulting dialog box to tell the debugger
        that you want to debug the threadtest executable. The debug
        window along with your editor of choice should come up.

	You can now use the debugger to set breakpoints, step through
	the code, and otherwise explore. Try setting a breakpoint in
	myThread() and using the debugger "Threads" tab to explore
	individual threads. Please see the documentation for more
	information on using the debugger.
