I have thread create function like this
pthread_create(&ThreadA,NULL,threadWork::requestThread,(void
*)&ResultSet); // <--- ResultSet is hasp_map with around 10 key-values
in it.


Is "threadWork" a namespace or a class? The third argument to
pthread_create must be a pointer to an `extern "C"'
function---member functions (even static) can't be `extern "C"',
and there's really no point in putting an `extern "C"' in a
namespace.

in threadWork.cc member function is defined
void * threadWork::requestThread(void *ResultSet)
{
 cout << typeid(ResultSet).name() << ResultSet<<endl; // <<------ its
printing void * which is correct, how can i get my hash_map and its
values back ?
}


Use static_cast. With hash_map, there should be no problem. In
general, however, do be careful that you go through the right
types---something like:

    extern "C" void*
    threadFunction( void* p )
    {
        Base* args = static_cast< Base* >( p ) ;
        // ...
    }

    // ...

    Derived args ;
    pthread_create( ..., &args ) ;

has undefined behavior. (The call to pthread_create should be:
    pthread_create( ..., static_cast< Base* >( &args ) ) ;
And watch out for potential lifetime of object issues.)
