Use mutexes then, they are designed exactly for this. >I don't want so serialize the threads, I want to use all 2 processors of my dual-core. You are serializing them by doing a busy loop. In fact using a busy loop will just make the CPUs spin without doing anything except for checking a condition. Using a mutex allows for other stuff to happen while that thread is waiting for more work to do. I guess you need to read up on threading programming more because right now you are causing extra work to happen on thread for no reason. -- Pinski -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=36081
