    #define THREAD_TYPE(thread)                         \
    typedef struct                                      \
    {                                                   \
      pthread_t pthread;                                \
      int err;                                          \
    }t;

what is the purpose of \ in the above macro?

Looks like a macro. Only that the `#define` is missing. – tkausl Nov 30 '17 at 10:13
I think in your original code , you will find a #define – Rishikesh Raje Nov 30 '17 at 10:13
Oops my bad! #define is there. I will edit it rightaway. – Xter Nov 30 '17 at 10:15
