Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-17
Severity: important
Trying to reduce the memory consuption of a RT process by using static
libraries rather than dynamic ones (VmSize 87 Mb -> 35 Mb so _yes_ this
is worth doing especially due to the needed mlockall system call) I
noticed that the static version was using linuxthread POSIX pthread
implementation while the dynamic version was _correctly_ using the
NPTL 0.60 one's. I think this is rather not correct especially when
nothing prevents to use NPTL version compiled statically.
Other distro's (mandrake, red hat) provide at least a static
version of the NPTL/LIBC/RT combination.
May I recall that the NPLT implementation has major avantages :
- POSIX conformance,
- Threading performance,
- Easier to follow (no fake process...),
