Using a class function in int main()

Question

I am having problems calling my functions from my main program.
These functions HAVE to be in my class.
How do I access them from my int main()?

#inc         


        

Answer 1

Functions inside a class are called methods. You need to instantiate an object of that class to be able to use it's methods:

myCountingSemaphoreUsingBinarySemaphore obj; // obj is an instance of the class

obj.waitSemaphore(&mutex1);

obj.signalSemaphore(&mutex1);

EDIT:

By the way, pthread_create and pthread_join take a pthread_t* and not a mutex!

int pthread_create(pthread_t* thread, 
                   pthread_attr_t* attr, 
                   void* (*start_routine)(void*), 
                   void* arg);
