Hi,

I could only take a very quick peek for now, but this look a bit
odd to me, as your main() is:

int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    pthread_t lifeThread;
    pthread_create(&lifeThread, NULL, &renderFrames, NULL);

    return 0;
}

You are not waiting for the thread to finish, or even to start,
before you already return from main(). pthread_create() manual says:

       The new thread terminates in one of the following ways:
...
       * Any of the threads in the process calls exit(3), or the  main  thread
         performs  a  return  from main().  This causes the termination of all
         threads in the process.

So in that light, your program should just quit and not really do
anything. The strange thing is that the thread does not seem to get
terminated, but maybe that is because it is blocked in a polling
call.

Could you fix it to wait for the thread to finish before returning
from main()?


Thanks,
pq
