>Description:
I recently noticed that pthread_create/join leaks memory
when you're going to create & destroy masses of threads.
Test code: (compiled with gcc -o test test.c -lphtread)
#include <pthread.h>
void *thrProc(void *arg){
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int main(){
pthread_t thr;
while(1){
thr = NULL;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thrProc, NULL);
pthread_join(thr, NULL);
}
return 0;
}
The same code runs on 8.2 without problems:

>How-To-Repeat:
#include <pthread.h>
void *thrProc(void *arg){
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int main(){
pthread_t thr;
while(1){
thr = NULL;
pthread_create(&thr, NULL, thrProc, NULL);
pthread_join(thr, NULL);
}
return 0;
}
// compile with
// gcc -o test test.c -lphtread
