These were sent to jb@cimlogic.com.au but that address bounces now (a
couple weeks ago it worked, but the mailhost there has been unreachable
for a week or so).
If you have any answers to these, please copy me since I do not subscribe
to the hackers list currently.
The questions below refer to porting MySQL to use FreeBSD native threads;
the work is being done using the 3.0-970618-SNAP release.
1) There isn't a sched.h file. pthread.h have prototypes for some functions
that uses sched_param but it's a little problem to use them now :)
2) I looked into /usr/src/lib/libc_r/uthread/pthread_priv.h and found
the following:
----
struct sched_param {
int prio; /* Should be named sched_priority */
void *no_data;
};
enum schedparam_policy {
SCHED_RR,
SCHED_IO,
SCHED_FIFO,
SCHED_OTHER
};
----
Shouldn't this be in a sched.h file ?
It would also be nice if 'prio' would be renamed 'sched_priority'. I
think this is the standard slot name (at least all other pthread
implementation uses this)
3) The following functions are not defined:
pthread_setprio(), pthread_attr_setprio(),pthread_attr_setscope()
When do you think these will be available?
4) I have now fixed workarounds for the above cases. All code compiles
and links clean but when run a test program, pthread_create doesn't
start a thread. Should threads work at all in FreeBSD 3.0 ?
