Hi Slava,
I had a look at pthreads on my way home from work. It's a really nasty
api to FFI because all the types are opaque but must be created by the
caller. I was just going to hardcode the type sizes but then I noticed
they're different on each unix and also seem to differ between versions
of libc.
I was thinking of having the vm supply a C call to return a struct of
all the sizes:
struct pthread_size_info {
int sizeof_pthread_mutex_t;
int sizeof_pthread_mutexattr_t;
....
pthread_sizes_t()
: sizeof_pthread_mutex_t(sizeof(pthread_mutex_t)),
sizeof_pthread_mutexattr_t(sizeof(pthread_mutexattr_t)),
....
{}
};
extern "C" const pthread_sizes_info *pthread_sizes();
I'm aware that this is an ugly hack. Is there a better way?
Cheers,
Phil
