Hi,
I am trying to make the attached code run but no luck.
I use the compiler, gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3.
I tried all combinations. The timer callback, handle_timeout is never
called.
The weird thing is that the similar code in windows using msvc works fine.
Could anybody help me out to figure out the issue in the code below?
Thanks a lot in advance,
mustafa

=====================================================
this is the output when the exe file is run. You don't see this line:
"handle_timeout"
=====================================================
