Threading and pointers to structures

[BotHH]

Hi, I can't get the values in my structure to come out it just seems to print the location in memory. Any help would be much appreciated.

// lab5.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <process.h>
using namespace std;

struct ThreadArgs
{
	int id;
	int delay;
};


unsigned __stdcall MyThread(void *data)
{
	ThreadArgs *args = (ThreadArgs *) data;
	cout << (int) data << endl;
	Sleep(3000);
	return 0;
}

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	ThreadArgs args;
	args.id = 4;
	args.delay = 10;
	HANDLE hThread = (HANDLE) _beginthreadex(NULL, 0, MyThread, (void *) &args, 0, NULL);
	WaitForSingleObject(hThread, INFINITE);
	return 0;
}

cout << (int) data << endl;
You're casting a void pointer to an integer. What did you expect besides the memory address?

Try this on for size:

	cout << args->id << endl;
	cout << args->delay << endl;
