c - Thread Pool using pthreads -

so, questions how should create thread pool of pthreads? need create amount of pthreads based on global variable:

#define num_processes 10 

so, idea create array stores pthreads may use them needed. have mutex lock pseudo-code setup controlling ones running. i'm having trouble how implement thread creation based on #define statement.

so c / idea is;

pthread_t *mypthreadids[num_processes]; pthread_attr_t threadattributes; pthread_attr_init(&threadattributes);  for(i = 0; < num_processes; i++){    pthread_create(&mypthreadids[i], &threadattributes, thread_run, thetime); } 

my question is, can create pthread pointers way?

edit:

so answer or fixing mistake on line:

pthread_t *mypthreadids[num_processes]; 

i needed change to:

pthread_t mypthreadids[num_processes]; 

it's important note confusion pthread_t type , declaring have pool. pthread_t not address , did not need create array of type pointers.

thanks @whozcraig!
