As scottl mentioned alpha is the only tier 1 platform libthr doesn't build on yet, and I'm hoping that can be corrected soon. I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for an interested person to pick it up. This is the email I sent to freebsd-alpha: ----- Forwarded message from Mike Makonnen <mtm@identd.net> ----- Date: Sat, 19 Jul 2003 18:52:27 -0400 To: freebsd-alpha@freebsd.org From: Mike Makonnen <mtm@identd.net> Subject: libthr needs your help User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i X-Operating-System: FreeBSD/5.1-CURRENT (i386) Hello folks, I need a brave volunteer :-) to implement the remaining 2 (maybe 3) functions necessary to make libthr work on alpha. If it's anything like sparc64 or ia64, then it will only be 5/6 lines worth of code. I just committed the stubs this morning and they compile fine. They can be found at: src/lib/libthr/arch/alpaha/alpha/_curthread.c The first function is _get_curthread(). The only thing it has to do is return a pointer to the struct pthread of the current thread. The _set_curthread() function takes three arguements: a pointer to a ucontext_t, a pointer to a pthread, and a pointer to an integer (in which to return an error). If alpha is anything like ia64 or sparc64 then all this function needs to do is set the appropriate register to the pthread pointer. The _retire_thread() function is only necessary if you need to do any special cleaning up when a thread is destroyed. As far as I can tell this is the only remaining obstacle to getting libthr functional on alpha. All the other kernel and libc MD bits are already there. -------- End --------------- Cheers. -- Mike Makonnen | GPG-KEY: http://www.identd.net/~mtm/mtm.asc mtm@identd.net | D228 1A6F C64E 120A A1C9 A3AA DAE1 E2AF DBCC 68B9 mtm@FreeBSD.Org| FreeBSD - Unleash the Daemon!
