A busy day, saw myself, jon and Jeff working on varous tasks. We have the meat of signal delivey to threads in place (work by Jon and Jeff) though there may be soem corner cases to work out. We ahve also reapplied David Xu's patches (with soem minor exceptions in the profiling code that I amstill looking at). With these in the Kernel supported threads library takes on a lot more functionality. Signals seem to do what is expected, and threads come and go as expected. People with simple threaded programs are invited to play with libkse (made from lib/libpthread/ ) and a new kernel and see what happens. We are still expecting problems but it is possible that some programs will work as expected.. if so let us know! As in the previous case non hreaded programs should not notice any difference in behaviour. The next steps include bringing documentation up to date and a couple of passes of code cleanups and reorgs. Niw that we have reached this point there are a few things that can be cleared up that were "scafolding" so to speak. julian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
