Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk The changes for Libc for Thread-safe operation are about ready.. I will be doing some test over the next few evenings and will be commiting a MASSIVE set of changes.. (13000 lines of diff and new files) there are 150 new or changed files in this set including man-pages and library files, also Makefiles etc. There is a new library "uthreads" which is a pthreads variant and ther will also be following a little later, a more standard pthreads version (CAP's pthreads) (I hope). this might be a good time to make sure you're all up-to date as the libs will be a little(hopefully not much) suspect, even though all (well, nearly all) the changes are guarded by #ifdef _THREAD_SAFE_ constructs for compatibility.. never-the less such a large change set always has dangers.. julian +----------------------------------+ ______ _ __ | __--_|\ Julian Elischer | \ U \/ / On assignment | / \ julian@ref.tfs.com +------>x USA \ in a very strange | ( OZ ) 300 lakeside Dr. oakland CA. \___ ___ | country ! +- X_.---._/ USA+(510) 645-3137(wk) \_/ \\ v
