Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi again! After the last attempt to get OmniORB running with PThreads and so on, I began to wonder exactly how stable PThreads is on 2.2.1-R. Is it worth upgrading to 2.2.2 or even 3.0 to get better support for PThreads? I ask this because I'm about to recommend to my company that we start coding PThreads stuff under FreeBSD ... but I need to know more about how stable it is now and what the roadmap is for developing it. Any help gratefully received ... Rich. -- Richard Jones rjones@imcl.com Tel: +44 171 460 6141 Fax: .. 4461 ABLE INmEDIA Ltd. 262a Fulham Rd. London SW10 9EL.
