create(
Handle* threadHandle,
ThreadAttributes const& attributes,
bslmt_ThreadFunction function,
void* userData);Create a new thread of program control having the specified attributes that invokes the specified function with a single argument specified by userData, and load into the specified threadHandle an identifier that may be used to refer to the thread in future calls to this utility. Return 0 on success, and a non-zero value otherwise. The behavior is undefined if the specified thread is 0 or if attributes.stackSize() has been set to a negative value other than the unset value. Note that unless explicitly "detached" (by detach), or unless the BSLMT_CREATE_DETACHED attribute is specified, a call to join must be made once the thread terminates to reclaim any system resources associated with the newly created identifier.
0 on success, and a non-zero value otherwise
