std::thread cause deadlock in DLLMain

Question

So, this is what I\'m talking about: std is complex.

In VS2013 this simple program will cause a deadlock.

#include 
#include 

        

Answer 1

Use detach() member function to fix the crash. Example:

void Hook_Init();

BOOL WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hinstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved)
{
    switch (fdwReason)
    {
    case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
        {
            std::thread hookthread(Hook_Init);
            hookthread.detach();
            break;
        }
    }
    return TRUE;
}

void Hook_Init()
{
    // Code
}
