Question

0

My program must to search a file by name from some directory and search it through the threads! Here I created TEMP folder for testing this search,included some diffrent files and here searching for example ".cpp" file.But the problem is not here. The compiler says "must return a value from ThreadSearch", and I've tried many return statements ,but all of it is not suitable,All that i found on internet cannot fix this error,and nobody has an error like in my code,I reckon this is a bug and in the void function it shoud be normal "return;" ,but it does not work and help, in other cases I got errors like "unresolved symbol",maybe somebody can help me with this!

here's my code!

I cannot change void* tp void,it has to be like this for that function, i do not wanna return something but I have to,this compiler wants, I've just done this ,I returned nullptr ,but I got another error now
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol __imp__pthread_join referenced in function _main
Error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol __imp__pthread_create referenced in function _main T

I think it works. Error may be any other.. Not sure, cannot debug here.
Anything, you return pointer from void*, just type cast to destination type in calling statement. Hope it helps..

Answer 4

The code don't work here...
try return 0; instead of return; //it works.. but you can use return as void just instead of void* without returning any value.
What you want to return from that function..?
