-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi everyone,
I was working on a way to come up with a patch to fix this issue. It gets a bit complicated to set the pthread condition attributes in evthread_posix_cond_wait() since a condition attribute needs to be set and used to initialize the condition. I would rather not re-initialize the condition arguments (cond_) since it's set by the caller. I was thinking that maybe we could simply set the monotonic clock source, if available, by default in the evthread_posix_cond_alloc(). Does it makes sense? Thoughts? Thanks!
