Also take a look at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/pthreads/ Which is "The Next Generation POSIX Threading Project is a derivative of the excellent package GNU Pth.". According to them, "This version achieves near full POSIX compliance.", so it is probably preemptive, not cooperative, threading. They also say, "The goal of this project is to attempt to solve the problems associated with the use of the pthreads library on Linux. It will add M:N threading capability and improve significantly on the POSIX compliance of pthreads on Linux.". Apparently NGPT needs a kernel patch that is already included in kernels 2.4.17, 2.5.4 or newer. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Apr 16 2002, 4 Iyyar 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |From the Linux getopt(3) manpage: "BUGS: http://nadav.harel.org.il |This manpage is confusing." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
