start_process

[Auge Mike]

Hi all,

Really I need your help to be able to understand how the WINE works 
internally, so please try to answer my Qs, even if they look easy for you?

I need to know why “ExitThread” is called inside the "start_process" 
function i.e. which thread we are exiting in this case?

Another thing? Which function is responsible for stat executing the binary 
file?

Yours

the first thread of the process
the call is ExitThread(entry(NULL)) which means:
1/ call entry with NULL as parameter => entry is the entry point of the 
process just loaded
2/ then pass the output of entry (when the call has terminated) to 
ExitThread so we can terminate a) the thread, b) if this was the last 
running thread of the process, it'll also terminate the process

everything is in scheduler/process.c and server/process.c

why are you looking at this ?
