looks like everybody agree.
Merged.

OK. if everyone now agrees, maybe this can be marked as reviewed :-). 3
extra comments should not generate a storm, should it? It fixes a doxygen
warning on the helper...

I was looking for some definitions that would save us having to
perpetuate this topic into its 5/6th week. I hoped to find a model.

I agree, we dont want to work on helper support for anything new
unless it brought a robust proven model.

Did a quick google on possibilities for how to implement an odp_thread,
99% of which we dont support , but might make an interesting project.

This is for linux helpers: in odp linux, just pthreads and
processes
are
supported as odpthreads.(well actually processes are not supported
yet, but
we head to it).

You can use C and C++ threads in Linux as well. You just need a
conforming
compiler.

Not through the helper at this stage. When calling
odph_odpthread_create(),
the odpthread is created as either pthread (default) or forked process
(--odph_proc option).
So at this stage C and C++ threads are not supported by the helpers.



If we support something else in some future, we'll update the
comment
then.

ODP threads might not be pthreads. There are many implementations
of
threads.
Aren't we trying to tell the application if we are using a
single-process (memory space) or multi-process model?
Let's report this and only this.
