Hi, One more clarification please : In order for my thread to use the session data before the session is destroyed I am using my own mutex and condition signal. e.g. (pseudo code follows) : thread_function(switch_thread_t *thread, void *ptr){ // the pointer ptr is a struct that contains a pointer to session,the mutex and condition created in the calling thread (session dependend stuff) switch_thread_cond_signal(sth->cond); //sends signal to calling thread that we stopped using the session so it can exit (session independent stuff) } calling_function(switch_core_session_t *session){ (init stuff) switch_mutex_init(&thread_params->mutex, SWITCH_MUTEX_NESTED, pool); switch_thread_cond_create(&thread_params->cond, pool); (thread creation stuff) switch_mutex_lock( thread_params->mutex ); switch_thread_cond_wait(thread_params->cond, thread_params->mutex); // this is were the calling thread waits for a signal switch_mutex_unlock( thread_params->mutex ); return SWITCH_STATUS_SUCCESS; } Is the above correct? Is there another way to create a "wait" state for the calling thread until the child thread is done with the session data? Apostolos Pantsiopoulos wrote:
Thanks for the explanations (both Anthony and Michael). You both clarified the subject quite well.

if your intent is to keep the data around longer than the session in it's own thread, you will want to make a new pool and use that pool to launch the thread. pass the pool into the thread as a member of your thread private data and free the pool before you exit the thread.
You cannot bring the session with you into the thread unless you read lock the session first so it will not be destroyed while you are using it in the thread.
Be aware keeping the session around in the thread just a wild goose chase from doing it the why it already was doing it. The session thread is already independent and it does not stop any other call from proceeding so you may as well do all the work in your session thread in the state change handler like it already does and just add more strict timeout.

The question is : which pool should I use for each different thing I am trying to accomplish?
For instance the code below is part of my mod_radius_cdr experimentation. When I am making use of a pool within a module should I :
a) create a new pool? b) make use of an existing one? c) what kind of pool should I use? d) is it really just one pool (accessed through different handlers) and I am making myself look like a fool so far?

I am not sure even after re-reading what your question is, could you try to rephrase?

I found it out by myself! (why is it that we always come with the solution right after posting to the list?)
I inserted :
thread_params = switch_core_session_alloc(session, sizeof(*thread_params));
before the pool initialization.
But still, can I get some answers to the questions bellow about how to effectively handle memory allocations?

I have the code below :
struct radacct_thread_handle { switch_core_session_t *session; switch_mutex_t *mutex; switch_thread_cond_t *cond; };
static switch_status_t my_on_routing(switch_core_session_t *session){
switch_thread_t *thread; switch_threadattr_t *thd_attr = NULL;
switch_memory_pool_t *pool;
struct radacct_thread_handle *thread_params = NULL;
pool = switch_core_session_get_pool(session);
thread_params->session = session;
...
}
when the program reaches the last line (thread_params->session = session;) I get a core dump. Is this a memory allocation error? Is it because I am making use of the wrong pool? Please enlighten me because I am not an experienced c programmer, and I am struggling to get familiar with the FS API.
