Hello, Let me first say that this is my first attempt at asking something, and I'm rather unfamiliar with the debian process of packaging glibc.
I've been trying to write a server programming library that handles multiple connections in a single thread yet displays this to the programmer as if it were in a thread. The way to do this is using the various *context functions, I just swap contexts when in a blocking read call, and that thread goes off to work on a context that got data. So much for the theory. During my tests I found that this is entirely impossible with linuxthreads. Well, at least so I thought - until some research turned up the fact that it is possible when FLOATING_STACKS is defined. Now here's the real question: why is the debian package not compiled with it? Is there any specific reason such as incompatibility? And - as I guess there is a reason and it'll never be enabled in the debian package - how can I build my own libc package with FLOATING_STACKS to replace the existing one? I don't like requiring Redhat or another distribution that ships a library that has floating stacks enabled. johannes -- http://www.sipsolutions.de/ GnuPG key: http://www.sipsolutions.de/keys/JohannesBerg.asc Key-ID: 9AB78CA5 Johannes Berg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fingerprint = AD02 0176 4E29 C137 1DF6 08D2 FC44 CF86 9AB7 8CA5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
