Passing a struct in pthreads

[rich halo]

Hello, I am working on an assignment that uses multithreading using pthreads in c++. I've created a struct which stores the game data. The fields are:
A void pointer (which I'm using to store a pointer to a multiarray of unsigned chars, created before being passed)
Two integers storing the amount of squares each team possesses
One boolean which stores a true/false value that the supervisor thread will set to make all executing threads exit their loops.

The problem is, I'm getting inaccurate values when attempting to access values from the struct that the pthreads are accessing. I'm using mutexes to lock the threads before accessing the memory at any point, and then unlocking afterwards.

I'm wondering how a pthread accesses a pointer to a struct

the struct is passed as a void pointer

and if I want to access the value of the boolean in the struct I am using the key:

*((gameData*) &game)).runGame

game is the passed pointer to the struct

gameData is the struct type

and runGame is the boolean

nvm got it working by just skipping the entire void pointer pass
