【原创】多线程应用中pthread库使用问题
在 linux 下开发多线程应用,大多情况下我们都会使用 pthread (即 POSIX thread)这个库。该库遵循 POSIX.1-2001 标准。
在使用该库的过程中,肯定有人见过各种 gcc 选项配置方式:
- -pthread
- -pthreads
- -lpthread
在 GCC man 手册中,我们可以找到如下内容

... Machine Dependent Options ... HPPA Options ... -threads
Add support for multithreading with the dce thread library under HP-UX. This option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker.
... IA-64 Options ... -pthread
Add support for multithreading using the POSIX threads library. This option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker. It does
not affect the thread safety of object code produced by the compiler or that of libraries supplied with it. These are HP-UX specific flags.
... IBM RS /6000 and PowerPC Options
... -pthread
Adds support for multithreading with the pthreads library. This option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker.
... SPARC Options ... -threads
Add support for multithreading using the Solaris threads library. This option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker.
This option does not affect the thread safety of object code produced by the compiler or that of libraries supplied with it.
-pthreads
Add support for multithreading using the POSIX threads library. This option sets flags for both the preprocessor and linker.
This option does not affect the thread safety of object code produced by the compiler or that of libraries supplied with it.
-pthread
This is a synonym for -pthreads.

... Options for Linking
... -llibrary
-l library
Search the library named library when linking. (The second alternative with the library as a separate argument is only for POSIX compliance and is not recommended.)
It makes a difference where in the command you write this option; the linker searches and processes libraries and object files in the order they are specified. Thus, foo.o
-lz bar.o searches library z after file foo.o but before bar.o. If bar.o refers to functions in z, those functions may not be loaded.
The linker searches a standard list of directories for the library, which is actually a file named liblibrary.a. The linker then uses this file as if it had been specified
precisely by name.
The directories searched include several standard system directories plus any that you specify with -L.
Normally the files found this way are library files---archive files whose members are object files. The linker handles an archive file by scanning through it for members
which define symbols that have so far been referenced but not defined. But if the file that is found is an ordinary object file , it is linked in the usual fashion. The only
difference between using an -l option and specifying a file name is that -l surrounds library with lib and .a and searches several directories.

GCC Command Options -> Hardware Models and Configurations -> xxx Options
GCC Command Options -> Options for Linking
而 -pthread 和 -pthreads 的关系可以简单认为,是在某一种 Hardware Model 上支持的同义选项。
至于为何推荐使用 -pthread 选项,可以参考下图中的说明
下面实验验证一下,几种方式的效果

PS:上面的实验只是用于对于几种选项配置方式,实际上 libevent_pthreads.so 内部已经包含了 libpthread.so 。
