I suppose this idea could be copied > over to the developers for APR. Somebody will have to look at it and determine if it's useable for our purposes. The HotSpot's native threading is sufficiently complicated enough that it realy needs low level operating system specific features for proper and speedy thread performance. It's highly unlikely that a portability library like APR, which isn't a language runtime, to have that support. You basically need to get at key OS structures, uncontext, thread run state, stack properties for some of the more interesting low level thingies. It's ok, we have all of that handled currently. Things are in good working order. ;) bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
