You sound like you have some idea how to do this kind of thing (which is
more than I could say about myself). I'd prefer (particularly in this
newsgroup) sticking strictly to C2011's new threading library, rather
than making any use of anything Linux-specific. Could you (or anyone
else who cares to do so) show us the right way to do something like the
OP's original code? He didn't provide a complete program, or any context
for that code, so feel free to make reasonable choices about what the
context would actually look like, without making it excessively
complicated. str1[0] seems to be being used solely for the purpose of
synchronizing execution of the two threads, and the rest of the
allocated memory is not used at all, so feel free to drop the allocated
memory entirely, and use the most appropriate method to achieve that
synchronization.

I'm not just asking this on the OP's behalf - I've little experience
with this kind of code, and none of it recent, and therefore none of it
using C2011 - so I'd like to see it for myself.
