习惯于linux C 语言编程，忽然转到Windows平台有很多不习惯，在Windows创建一个线程本是很简单的一个事，网上的资料介绍的却是各种复杂，最后还是谷歌搜索到MSDN官方资料，上面有个很简单的例子，它与linux 创建线程类似。

// crt_begthrdex.cpp  
// compile with: /MT  
#include <windows.h>  
#include <stdio.h>  
#include <process.h>  

unsigned Counter;
unsigned __stdcall SecondThreadFunc(void* pArguments)
{
	printf("In second thread...\n");

	while (Counter < 1000000)
		Counter++;

	_endthreadex(0);
	return 0;
}

int main()
{
	HANDLE hThread;
	unsigned threadID;

	printf("Creating second thread...\n");

	// Create the second thread.  
	hThread = (HANDLE)_beginthreadex(NULL, 0, &SecondThreadFunc, NULL, 0, &threadID);

	// Wait until second thread terminates. If you comment out the line  
	// below, Counter will not be correct because the thread has not  
	// terminated, and Counter most likely has not been incremented to  
	// 1000000 yet.  
	WaitForSingleObject(hThread, INFINITE);
	printf("Counter should be 1000000; it is-> %d\n", Counter);
	// Destroy the thread object.  
	CloseHandle(hThread);
}

    在main 函数里，使用_beginthreadex 函数创建一个线程，该线程执行函数SecondThreadFunc。WaitForSingleObject 函数功能主要是阻塞main主线程的执行，直到SecondThreadFunc 线程执行结束main主线程才继续往下执行。
