The current FAQ quotes Karl Asha: native pthreads
with Linux are far from being available for JDK.
Is this still true? The scripts contain lines like
THREADS_TYPE=green_threads
THREADS_TYPE=native_threads
The green_threads (along with the wanker libdl for
glibc) might contribute to my persistent
JNI+dlopen(libjava.so) problems I reported weeks
ago (for about any JDK/libc combination out there).
Incidentally, a friend of mine found related
problems with Solaris JDK and green_threads.
Further, I ran into the green_threads weird behavior
related to use of I/O (System.out.print, not System.in
as mentioned in the FAQ, though).
I have no idea whether Linux pthreads are reasonably
mature by now, but iff, I'd sure like to now how to
get the JDK to use them.
