Programmer - how to write pthread_create in the same function?

Programmer Question

Hi

Could someone please help with this? I have the following:

// part_1
if (pthread_create(&threadID, NULL, ThreadMain, 
    (void *) clientSocket) != 0) {
    cerr << "Unable to create thread" << endl;
    exit(1);
}

// part_2
void *ThreadMain(void *clientSocket) {

  pthread_detach(pthread_self()); 

  ...

  delete (TCPSocket *) clientSocket;
  return NULL;
}

I would to have part_2 in part_1 ( I mean without calling TreadMain() function )

thanks for your replies
