How can I use CreateThread in the main() function on ADSP TS101S

It seems that I can not use main() if I want to comile a exe project 
with VDK support. For the default entry function is run() for the new 
thread.  I want to creat threads in the main() when I need and to
destroy this  thread when it is useless. Can I use the functions for
thread like  this?

The following is the linux thread code. 
///////////////////////////////////////
void* thread_entry (void* data)
{      
       ...    // do something.
       return NULL; 

}  

int main (void)
{
      pthread_t  new_thread;
     int data = 2;
     pthread_create ();
     pthread_join (new_thread, NULL); 

}

Yes, you can create and destroy threads. However, you deal with lots 
of administration (execution time and memory 
allocations/deallocations). It might be preferable to create all 
threads in the beginning and then just "stop" and "restart" them as 
appropriate.

What you need in any case is an administrating thread which takes 
the decisions about when creation or destruction of a thread have 
to take place and which initiates the work.

To make things easy, just create a new project with VDK support, 
then on the VDK panel select a thread type and a boot thread which 
initially is running. Let its run() method serve as your main() 
function.

Thanks a lot!. I will try...
