I meant that AFAIK, Mono provides no mechanism to interact with pthreads directly, for example obtaining a pthread_t* for a specific thread. Whether this can be done by p/invoking to libpthread is beside the point. My main point (that I probably failed to stress) was that bending over backwards to wrap an API using a type of thread that may only exist on one CLR would be a very broken wrapper indeed -- I doubt such a wrapper would run on Microsoft's implementation, for example. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crazycomputers _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
