FYI, this patch should have everything you've been asking for. To answer some potential questions, a threads context is always in thread->ctx as a ucontext_t. A thread's interrupted context is stored in the same location. Signal handlers caused by pthread_kill() now also get a siginfo and ucontext passed to them (assuming the handler was installed with SA_SIGINFO). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 10:52:04 -0500 From: Daniel Eischen <eischen@vigrid.com> To: freebsd-current@freebsd.org Subject: PATCH - changing libc_r to use *context() There's a patch at: http://people.freebsd.org/~deischen/libc_r.diffs that changes libc_r to use *context() instead of setjmp/longjmp. There are some other changes that the -java folks have wanted for some time (signal handlers installed with SA_SIGINFO now always get a siginfo_t and ucontext_t). Normally I would wait until after 5.0-release to do this, but the ia64 folks (perhaps the sparc64?) really wanted this. I'd like some feedback on whether some heavy threaded apps (GNOME, OpenOffice, Java, etc) have any problems with this patch before asking re@ for commit permission. BTW, it also needs testing on alpha. Thanks, -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
