# pthread examples
# C++ pthread Example
This example shows how to use the pthread API to create std::threads with different stack sizes, names, priorities and pinned to certain cores.
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This example is in C++, contrary to the the normal standard of pure C.
Support for the [C++ threads](http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/thread/thread/) in ESP-IDF is implemented on top of the [ESP-pthread](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-reference/system/esp_pthread.html#overview) component. Thus, C++ threads created using the standard thread class constructor will automatically inherit the current ESP-pthread configuration. This example demonstrates how to leverage the thread configuration functions provided by ESP-pthread (e.g., `esp_pthread_get_default_config()` and `esp_pthread_set_cfg()`) to modify the stack sizes, priorities, names, and core affinities of the C++ threads.
**Note: Due to the use of the C++ threads, this example is written in C++ instead of C.**
## How to use example
### Hardware Required
This example should be able to run on any commonly available ESP32 development board.
### Configure the project
```
idf.py menuconfig
```
* The default ESP-pthread configuration may also be modified under `Component config > PThreads`
### Build and Flash
Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
```
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```
(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
## Example Output
The following log output should appear when the example runs (note that the bootloader log has been omitted).
```
...
I (380) Thread 1: Core id: 0, prio: 5, minimum free stack: 2068 bytes.
I (0) pthread: This thread (with the default name) may run on any core.Core id: 1, prio: 5, minimum free stack: 2056 bytes.
I (390) Thread 1: This is the INHERITING thread with the same parameters as our parent, including name. Core id: 0, prio: 5, minimum free stack: 2092 bytes.
I (410) Thread 2: Core id: 1, prio: 5, minimum free stack: 2088 bytes.
I (410) main: core id: 0, prio: 1, minimum free stack: 2928 bytes.
