Thanks for quoting that. But just to be pedantic, it says "unspecified" and "may" so it is guidance.
The RTEMS' GCC (and llvm) configuration implicitly links in libc, the BSP library, and the all RTEMS services including things in libpthread or librt on Linux. libm is the only common library that a user would need to specify. The flag -pthread is accepted by the compiler. FWIW RTEMS is a single process POSIX environment with ~1100 of the POSIX APIs. The OS and application are one executable. We track POSIX APIs provided versus multiple versions of POSIX, PSE5x, C99 and C11, FACE TS 2.1 and 3.0, and multiple versions of SCA as part of our user facing documentation. --joel On 4/18/2019 10:54 AM, enh wrote: > i think the requirement is only that the compiler accept -lpthread... > > "It is unspecified whether the libraries libc.a, libl.a, libm.a, > libpthread.a, librt.a, [OB] [Option Start] libtrace.a, [Option End] > libxnet.a, or liby.a exist as regular files.
