We have been using the mit pthreads stuff with a fair amount of success. There have been some problems: - signal handling within threads that call sleep(we had to ignore sigalrm in the sleeping thread, I think this issue may be which draft of the standard you are looking at for signal clarification) - a problem of pthreads malloc locks getting messed up and bailing when multiple threads are active and one is exiting while others are starting. Other than that it has worked fairly well right from MIT. We are using the MIT version so we can use the same code on fbsd and sunos 4.1.3 Jim Leppek > From owner-freebsd-hackers@freefall.freebsd.org Thu Mar 21 02:33:18 1996 > From: "matthew c. mead" <mmead@Glock.COM> > Subject: Re: User level threads. > To: msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au (Michael Smith) > Date: Thu, 21 Mar 1996 01:09:31 -0500 (EST) > Cc: darrend@novell.com, freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org > X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24 ME8a] > Mime-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type> : > text/plain> ; > charset=US-ASCII> > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.org > X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > > Michael Smith writes: > > > Darren R.
