pthread creation fails with EAGAIN

[Jaydeep Chovatia]

Hi,

I am using pthread_create API in my application. My application is
creating many threads, after some time I started receiving following
error from pthread_create API call:

"EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable"

I would like to know what are the possible reason behind this error.
Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Jaydeep

man pthread_create.

The error says it all, your system "lacked the necessary resources to
create another thread" to quote from my man page.

man pthread_create.

What Ian said. Any futher questions should be asked in a forum
relevant
to your OS, since pthread_create is not part of the C++ language (even
in C++11).

On he other hand, EAGAIN *is* part of C++ 11. C++11 has a new header,
<cerrno>, which defines the same identifiers as POSIX's <errno.h>.

Picky, picky, picky!
