Thread within a thread

[raseelbhagat]

Is it possible to call a thread (pthread) from within a thread
invocation ?

If I correctly pthread_join() the new thread from the calling thread,
does it make good design sense ?

Well, perhaps it makes 100% complete sense for your particular application;
I need more information. However, I would suggest asking this portion of the
question over in `comp.programming.threads'...

Thanks,
I'll post it there, while trying out the code anyways.

I just wanted to know if there were any apps out there using such a
design.

The point was that the question is off-topic here in c.l.c. The C
language does not include threads. Any such provisions are
extensions provided on various installations, and are not mentioned
or specified in the C standard.
