Subject: Check return code of pthread_create and bail out if
X-Git-Tag: svn/VALGRIND_3_7_0~270
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5800c7271cce9089c9fdd447ca8119687b9c280a;p=thirdparty%2Fvalgrind.git

Check return code of pthread_create and bail out if
the function failed. This helps on systems which don't
have lots of memory.
Suggested by Christian Borntraeger.
