Hi,
Sean has left the following comment at Integrate new thread affinity
interface into LIBBU and LIBRT
http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8070202:
you may need to take this one step at a time
So know that you may be a little out of your depth taking this task on
which is why I was going to do it instead of making it a task anyways, but
you're welcome to try. Just be aware that you're going to need to do some
research and, most importantly, just take things one step at a time.
#1: To answer your first question, you need to have a basic understanding
of what bu_parallel() does. Read through that function from top to bottom.
Pay particular attention to the pthreading section but notice how it's
similar to several of the other sections. Notice the pthread_create()
function. Read the man page for that function and understand every
parameter being passed and what they mean because you're going to later
need to change that (but not just yet). That should be enough to answer the
first question.
#2: Yes and no. The function must be available. Doesn't mean that it has to
do anything useful, but it must exist. It also must still compile on
platforms where that function is not available too.
#3: It's in the wrong place.
Start there and some of the 4-8 points might begin to make more sense.
Greetings,
