Description
As from the title, in PThreads tutorial, Passing Arguments to Threads, Example 3
```
Example 3 - Thread Argument Passing (Incorrect)
This example performs argument passing incorrectly. It passes the address of variable t, which is shared memory space and visible to all threads. As the loop iterates, the value of this memory location changes, possibly before the created threads can access it.
```
```c
int rc;
long t;
for(t=0; t

Research direction
Review the PThreads tutorial's “Passing Arguments to Threads” section and its “Example 3 - Thread Argument Passing (Incorrect)” code and output. Compare the displayed output with the stated lesson about shared variable t changing before a thread reads it; done means the example and explanation consistently illustrate that point.
